Dead - what to replace?

My iPod Photo 60GB A1099 Serial # JQ 5142EESAZ has died. It has never been out of the house, and sits on the socket of my hi-fi music player which keeps it charged. Recently the Select button in the centre of the wheel went "hard". It would not move, or click. But the screen operated and the click wheel turned to adjust volume. It played music, starting from the last selected piece, but I could not select other tunes. Now two weeks later, nothing works. No screen, no response to moving the Hold switch or connecting to the computers as iTunes can't recognise it. I've connected it to power for 24 hours, to see if the battery needs charging but no response. I'm quite prepared to try repairs, but need to know first what would need replacing. What components haved failed, according to this description? Appreciate your help.

Gee, that's wonderful, and I would be most grateful for parts. As far as I can see, they are not available in Australia, but I can buy tools to open the case. If you would let me know how I can pay you, I will arrange to make a transfer and give you my mailing details

@ancestor you do want to start with a new battery. Also, clean the dock connector with some 99% isopropyl alcohol and a few puffs or compressed air. The re-evaluate and let us know what you find.

Thanks - first I have to get a battery. This may take little while. If I'm ordering parts, I don't want to do it one at a time, especially as I am in Australia. Do you think the battery explains the lack of "click" to the Select button?

That does not sound like a battery issue but more like a clickwheel situation. Those are a bit hard to come by, but since you may have trouble finding it in your neck of the woods, might as well go ahead and order it as well.

If you have any kind of trouble finding those parts, let me know. I am certain I have enough parts of that series left to send you a care package. I love the 3rd and 4th gen iPod since I feel the sound quality is absolutely outstanding. Hate to see any of those go to waste. Let me know, parts are free.
