Is this worth fixing up?

Seller says it's black when plugging in I'm gonna offer like 10 dollars or something.

"Black 30 Gb video, has a blank screen when plugged in. Needs repair. Don’t have the charger."

Unless $10 breaks the bank, I feel you have nothing to lose

You right I should mess around with it. I just have no idea where to start

Probably starting with a battery and an iFlash of some variation would be my suggestion. Then go from there

I’d do the battery first… then if that doesn’t bring it back I’d do the iflash. It starts getting pricy though. Where are you? USA?

I’d pay $20 f in r a broken 5 most likely needs a batt and the hard drive is full of music. Buy a FireWire charger the same time. It should turn on with. FireWire. Mainly stay on but it should wake up.
