My Ipod mini always saying battery low

It is possible your battery is burnt out. that is why your charging light is not working because it won't take a charge.

Yes, that's the real advantage. Not only does it wake you up but it charges your iPhone/ iPodas well. I find it really useful as I can roll out of bed and my iPhone isalways charged up for the day.

Try doing a restore through iTunes. It may be the software. Also try charging from a wall power adapter and allow to charge overnight.

How are you charging it?, if your charging it on the computer it slowly decreases the batery life everytime you charge it ( as in it last for 5 hours to 4 and a half) so i suggest you start using a wall charger in future :)

You need a new battery for your iPod. you can view a free instructional video on battery replacement at the first web address posted below. the second one is a cheap site I found for purchasing iPod parts.

I think you may just have a dead battery. The batteries on the iPod last a long time but they do go bad after years of use.
Occasionally a battery will die almost immediately without warning.
Also, use an AC wall charger to verify it's actually being charged.
USB cables work for transferring music, but are a weak source for charging. If you need a battery click here or check ebay they are fairly inexpensive to replace.

take the sleep timer off...turn ipod on (overnight) kill battery completely...now charge it back up (if you can AC power not via pc)
oh yeah u ask for a manual http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93569

I do NOT want to Pay for a solution ONLINE.....because after 12 hours of work on it, and internet feedback, I am SURE it is a Hardware GLITCH.....It has happened to others......so I am Not sure ,,,,but probably will have to take to China's 1st apple store

Let me Know if HARDWARE or Other Glitch.....CHARGED remains when I turn it Off until VERY LOW Battery + Kills it

iPod batteries are cheap on ebay...like $5...and come with installation instructions. Try installing a new battery and see what happens...?

It has a very low batteyr voltage therefor your computer cant charge it. Buy a wall charger but you may have to put it on disk mode.
