Relation has one which won't power up. Not sure if it is just the
power supply - couldn't really find out if it worked on the battery
for a while. Can't really be a relation as had no backups whatsoever
;-) Apple shop said it is too old to fix - they don't have spares.

Not sure if anyone else said this .... both my old iPod, and my old iPad
2 will appear dead, black screen etc., if the battery is drained
completely. You have to have the charger plugged in for some minutes,
before the "Charging" icon appears, and shortly after that normal
service is resumed.

I'm told she Googled the problem and found out that sort of thing. And
tried the various fixes.
