I have no idea what ita ! is talking about, but I do have an amusing mental image of her, naked underneath a trench coat, opening he coat while facing her wireless router.
Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

Dylan's iPod seems to have died suddenly. It won't power on at all. I'm charging it now, and have been for about 45 minutes, with no response. I've tried resetting it (holding down both buttons) several times. I've plugged it in while holding down the menu button.
Basically, I've done everything I can think of that's been suggested on the internet. Anybody have any really clever ideas I haven't found yet? It's an iPod Touch 4G.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
How large an area are you needing to cover? I think you may find you have plenty of range extending the wireless. It's true that you need to have an overlapping edge in order to catch the wireless. And it's also true that pulling the wired drop should have let you do what you want. I am not, in fact, familiar with either the specific model or the protocol about which you're asking, but I should be able to poke around and see.

Pull and replace the battery? Is that a doable thing?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How large an area are you needing to cover?
The current covered area is about 1/3 of the house. If I have to place each wireless repeater inside the wireless range of another, that doesn't get me all the way through the house. I'm still reading, but I'm dizzy.

I don't think they're user-replaceable. (And I'd still have to go to the Apple Store to get a replacement battery.)

Because books.
Speaking of iPods, I tried to charge Sara's and suddenly my computer won't see it. Is there a trick to this? Something I can reset? I've restarted the computer, etc., and the iPod still turns on (although it needs to be charged) but my laptop just doesn't see it anymore.

Jessica,
The only thing I can suggest is to swap out the cord and the port where it is being charged to make sure it is not a cord/port issue.

It's not - the same cord and port charges my iPhone just fine.
