with the help of Jesus Christ i somehow flicked the nothingness of the cruel cheap material with some plastic and it turned on. the problem is now i can't REALLY turn it off. i can hold play. the thing is that i was able to turn it on. Pocket nano that was good advice. good thing i didn't use it tho. i would buy a new one but i'm not old enough to get a job, i don't get allowance, and when i lose something expensive i don't get a new one.
