Recently I noticed that my ipod suddenly got very hot while it was on and stayed hot for a while. It got freezy, slow, and started showing the dead hard drive symbol(I think it was the dead hard drive symbol) just before it heated up. I shut it off and put it away(It didnt cool down until the next day). Its been about a week and I tried to turn on. Surprisingly it did turn on but no matter how long I leave it on the charger (Its been like a day) it keeps displaying the charge symbol. It never displays the fuly charged symbol. Im thinking its a damaged battery possibly a bad harddrive. What do you guys think?

You cant get it fully open without removing the battery wire. Im assuming its the battery now because Im getting really really bad battery life. I think the battery is also not taking a full charge thats why the charge icon wont go away.

Getting really hot and not being able to spin the drive up sounds like a possible battery issue. No moisture or anything? does it click or whir when trying to start?

if any component is getting hot it uses more energy so the fact it has a short battery life doesnt mean its the battery getting hot.

and i dont know what you mean about the battery wire, i pulled mine apart, ipod in 1 hand, steel case in the other.
