Ipod Nano Static HELP ME

Well i had wireless headset on the ipod, connected to base blah blah blah. headphones died, plugged them in. went to turn off the ipod. and right when i touched it. BOOM, that damn static electricity, it shocked the ipod, as it would if i touched someone, this one wasnt a small one either, i looked at my ipod, and the lcd just .. stopped powering and faded slowly.

HELP MEEE.

i do have 2 more replacement screens for the nano, but but but but... there could be some GREATER issue on hand.

HELP ME, its not as if i payed for the 4 gig nano, bought it for 5 dollars with a broken screen, took it home and works like a charm. i have 2 dead 5 dollar baught nanos now! HELP ME.

If you only paid $5 for it, you aren't out much. Try resetting it and hooking it up to the computer.

both i have done. i put my ear up to it, sounds like a high pitch noise/vibration.

If you blew a circuit, then you're SOL. Unless I'm wrong, a static shock is more than enough volts to fubar a circuit board. Only way to know for sure is to open it up and check everything. You could send it off to apple, but as you paid $5 it wouldn't really be worth it.

yeah, thats what you get for buying a used one for $5, did you try resetting it?

no, it wouldent work at all. i threw it across the room and now it works. man does everything work like that * chucks xbox 360 *

yes static electricty can ruin a circuit board... that's why if you work on your own comptuers, and you buy peices (video cards ect) they come in that static proof bag.. you're also supposed to touch the metal casing of the comp before you touch anything just to discharge any static electricity you may have stored.

true story, i used to have a vcr that was always fucking up, give it one good punch either int he top or the right side and it would work fine, til the next time you went to play something.... eventually that stoppped working tho... so i tried hitting it with a hammer, yeah, that didn't go to well.

I used to throw my ipod on the ground every couple of days when the screen started freezing/battery dying/skipped.

Funny how things work like that...
