Try coming to an open meeting on Tuesday at 8pm and see if some people
would like to look at it and assess what's wrong and how to fix it...
We're a friendly group and the regular meeting is usually short with plenty
of time to chat afterwards.
The mechanic will start with questions like "When you turn the key to the first click, do any dash lights come on? If you turn the key farther, is there a "click", or do the dash lights dim slightly? Or does it just go 'ruh,ruh,riuh' and won't catch?"
Troubleshooting is a logical process, regardless of the problem at hand. And it always starts with "what DOES work", before moving onto finding reasons for what won't, and strategies for a fix.
An Ipod expert would be the ideal resource. Someone with general problem-solving skills is a close second. You'll find a whole room full of folks familiar with this process at any open meeting Tuesday nights.
Although...
If the issue is described in detail, there is a good chance that a
resolution could be achieved long before the meeting.
For example, if it is a lockup issue, the standard soft-reset process could
work. If a battery life issue, I could look for my iPod case pry tool...
