Well my Ipod Shuffle (the OG version) had finally died the other day and I had resigned myself to having to buy a new one. ALMOST went today but couldnt motivate myself to go drop $150 bucks on a new one just yet. SO i googled my problems with it and saw that its a common problem. Did some research and got a restore tool and looks like its back to life. Hope it lasts! YAY!
