Hi,
This is really a last resort, because I feel I've tried everything at MY disposal to fix my issue.
Problem:
I have an iPod Touch - 1st Generation, with all updated firmware and updated iTunes to go with it. It simply won't turn on. When plugged in to my computer via USB, it displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen, and I follow the steps to restore it. It fails during restore though. Here's what happens:
1. The screen shuts off and changes to the Apple loading screen
2. iTunes starts "Preparing iPod for restore"
3. The iPod screen shuts off, nothing being shown
4. iTunes stays on "Preparing iPod for restore" for a minute or so
5. I then get an error saying "Unable to restore iPod - Error 1603"
And yes, I have tried recovering my iPod, going into DFU mode, and also going to the help page for Error 1603 and following instructions. The only thought is that the battery is dead, because nothing else pops up.
I've have the iPod for just under 3 years, and it has worked for the whole time up until a few months ago - the battery was not lasting as long as usual.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

Nevermind, talked with my friend who works at apple. Can a mod delete this please?
