Hooked it up to my Macbook, but nothing happened. No sign of life.
It worked fine before I put it away.
Can anyone tell me where or how I might get it to work again?

I found my first generation 15Gig iPod last night. It has been lying dormant for a couple of years and i was keen to fire it up and see what music I listened to back then.

I know all about your new man, your new, older, old man and I heard that he's married;
oh, you be careful Amanda.
Yeah, I found a new friend too, and yeah she's pretty and she's small,
but god damn it, Amanda; oh, god damn it all.

Plug it into your mac, leave it for a bit the hold down the play/pause button and the centre button until the logo appears.

Could it not be that the battery is stuffed cause it was left for so long?

Could be the battery. I found that if you remove the battery and connect it to your mac they normally turn on straight away. Also try use a firewire cable, they give more power then the USB cables do.

Just google how to reset Ipod. Choose the appple support searches. You must know which generation it is to perform specific reset. What the other hubber said earlier. Otherwise Ifix or any Apple store. They shouldnt charge you.

Waiting for a new battery. Will cost R 350.
It's worth it, better than throwing away an Icon.

Ifix just off Kloof street. They fix anything ipod related and are very reasonable.
