Will it take power at all? My first thought is the battery is fried. Is it beat up, or does it look like it's in good condition? Ever gotten wet?

All he said was "it shit the bed". no its not charging what so ever, its pretty beat up and I looked for water damage and see none.

instead of paying to fix a beat up one why not pay to get one that works?

true, but i feel like a repair might be cheaper than a refurb or a brand new one

I have 32g's of music, I would flip if mine ever shit the bed! But I have it all backed up on the external Harddrive. Sorry not verry helpful, but I would like to see what others say, I'm not very good at fixing them either.

Sounds more like a fried motherboard than a battery issue. Replace the battery and if it doesnt work, you can pick up a new hard drive for 10 bucks on ebay

Needs new lcd. If it is a video like im assuming, you can replace it for pretty cheap by yourself. Link above
