okay sorry i did not know where i could discuss mp3 player problems so i hope this is alright

Okay-My ipod mini (4/5gig) is around 1 year and a half old and over the last few days when it runs out of battery it will be able to turn back on again if i attempt to and it will say "okay to disconnect" and it will have a tick on it...it then wont turn off until the battery completely dies and it will usually take two hours

any help is appreciated
