I bought this faulty 3rd Gen ipod for a couple of quid..

The description was

"The water damage sticker has been activated"
It also looks like it has been opened up (badly) and with no success as it does not switch on, even when plugged into the computer using the USB Cable..

Any ideas on how i can go about cheaply repairing this iPod and get it back up and running? Or is it just pretty much useless...

Anyhelp will be thanked!

sorry mate , i know nothing about these so cannot offer any assistance , The water damage indicator activated could be a clue but yet again i have no experience with them other than listening.

mate hope you find a easy fix

Go to the shop. They can repair it there or if the fee is too expensive, I suggest go get a new one mate.

I know a girl that worked for the company apple send all the ipods to for repair, even there, if the water damage sticker is activated, the ipod is returned as non-repairable
