It was still in the package when I bought it. I can plug it into my computer, fine. The orange lighting blinks like it’s charging, and itunes syncs with it fine, and itunes says theirs mp3s on it loaded fine. I have the latest version on it. I left it plugged in to charge overnight. I have tried restoring it. But when I unplug it from my computer and flip the switch to shuffle or continuous, nothing happens. No audio and the battery indicator light doesn’t even turn on.
