That’s a new problem.

Anyways, super burning hot should not be a problem since silcone is made to withstand high temperatures (I mean you can leave it in your car and it’ll still work, BUT TRY NOT TO DO IT).

What windows are you running?

Xp Service pack 2, it brand new which adds even more frustration if it wouldnt work on the fisrt day, it could turn on before i tried plugging it into the pc, but after that it dosent even turn on, i dont know if its because it ran out of battery or if its busted.

Maybe an overcharge. There’s been problems posted like this. Trying doing a hard reset.

Hold down volume up and select (center) button more 30+ secs. Then turn it on. If not working then try the hard reset again.

If the second time fails tell me. I’ll be on quite awhile tonight. (I’m bored)

It didnt work, so i think thats it . its busted because when i connect it to the pc, it dosent recognize it any more, like it did before it got really hot.

Most likey a circuitry problem then… (probably a short circuit)

I understand your frustration. I only had mine for one day as well, till the updater failed.

I guess you can call and get it RMA’d
