Return it, if it's defective it won't matter that you don't have insurance.

reset it. i know it sounds like it won't work, becuae it's the one of the reset buttons, but my menu button broke and resetting it worked.

just tyr it. it just take like thiry seconds to a minute of holding the center button and menu for it to happen.

I believe to reset it you hold down the menu and the play buttons...I'm not sure though. Check out www.apple.com/support

To reset iPod mini and iPod (Click Wheel)

just got the steps from the apple site.

Connect iPod to the iPod Power Adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet.

Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)

Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.

Try to reset my buddys last week - it wouldnt work and we were holding the buttons for about 20-25 seconds... nothing...

So he just left it on overnight and the battery died, then he plugged it in and it was back to normal.
