30 GB: It also has a short battery life. And also now it won’t even turn on when hooked to my computer or even charge. Need Help! ADMIN EDIT: Here is the entire context for the question.

Tristan, your VERY FIRST course of action is to just replace the battery. Just the battery. This is an easy repair. You can get the parts here for $15, and it comes with the opening tools. Once you have replaced the battery, if it does not fix the problem, we can go from there. Knock out the tangibles first. It’s pretty clear from your description that there’s an electrical short. A bad hard drive would be less likely to magically lose its information.
the battery and tools you can buy off this site as well as a verified high status ebay seller. You can get if off of ebay with the tools for less than 10.00 USD. The harddrive, u might be able to get off of here or ebay. i have a couple of sellers that i use if u need them
well tristan , it seems you have a conundrum. Sounds like there you need a replacement battery as well as a new harddrive. Sounds as if you dropped your ipod a couple of times. You can buy this for like 30-40 USD on ebay.But first, you wanna get a new battery and install it. If your ipod still doesn turn on, it will be your logic board. I hope this has helped you. And if you need to know how to install the battery, just look at the repair guides on here.
