[QUOTE="MacTank, post: 926328, member: 127415"] After I purchased an iPhone 3G, had all my old info transferred to the new phone. I then wiped all the info off the old 2G and gave it to my dad to use as an iPod Touch. It synced fine with his iTunes on his PC, and we put his music on it. It worked fine for a while. A month later it will not turn on. Not when plugged into charger, plugged into his PC, by itself, nothing. I have tried holding down the on button and home button at the same time for 20 seconds. Nothing. If the battery were dead, wouldn't it still come on when attached to the charging cord? Is it possible the battery became defective? Not that old, I don't think. Does he have to take it to Apple for a new battery? Thanks for your help. [/QUOTE]
