I thought i would be cool and make my own car charger for the 2g 10 gig i have. idiot me i mixed the + and - wires and as soon as i plugged it in to test charge i smoked. i quickly unplugged it and tried turning it on. everything worked fine. i thought i lost my ipod. i listend to it the rest of the day and all was well. when i got home from school i plugged it in to charge and upload some more songs, it wouldnt charge. it would be recognized in my pc but would not take a charge. i figured i burnt something out on the screen and it was charging but not showing it. the next morning it wouldnt turn on but instead it showed a weak battery and ! sign and then shut off. i opened it up and saw that a lil fuse looked burnt. i tried replacing the burnt fuse with a lil wire that i soldiered on . i figured i would bypass the burnt fuse with this wire. i put it back together and nothing. no charge . i plugged it in to the pc and it shut off the computer entirely. what am i doing wrong? do i need a new motherboard or do you think it is still possible to fix? is there anyone out there that can help me out? i can try and take a picture of the area if that helps. please guys, i need your help. if i can fix it then i need to sell it as is. like i said, everything works fine except that it didnt charge the battery. thanx again
