I would first clean the dock connector as well as trying a different cable and a different USB port on the computer. I'd start of there, then go with a new battery after that. You mentioned that you charged it, did it take the charge. You say it's 64GB are you using a CF conversion on your iPod? The only other problem that I can see is that you may need a new HDD. The sad face makes me believe that your hard drive is on its way out. Good Luck
