The song titles/menu/etc are there but the songs won't play. Now I'm thinking there's something wrong with the click wheel, how much would that cost to repair (no more warranty)?

It might re-seat the hard drive and start working again. a sad face=bad hard drive, or the pin isgetting caught somewhere it isnt supposed to. If that doesnt work, you can manually open the ipod by separating the plastic from the metal casing, and thenstick a piece of card stock between the shock absorber and the backside case. all you need is a thin blunt object to open it. try a butter knife.

It really isnt that hard. I have 3 or 4 ipods sitting in my drawer with this same issue that my firneds have asked me to repair. If none of that works, you could always get a new hard drive to put inside. depending on what model you have, it may be more cost effective to just purchase a new one

You might have 5 years of songs on there, but it's no good to you on an unusable iPod. Trust me...i've been there. I've had terabytes of music/video fail on me, and i've had friends lose entire drives. it sucks. Music is always replaceable, and is a hell of a lot more easily replaceable than iPod hardware.

If you cant even get iTunes to recognize it...you might have a problem. That's a sign of hard drive failure
