Near death iPod

My current iPod (Photo, 20GB) started to give funny noises. If I gently shake it, I hear weird crackling noises from, what I think is, the internal drive. I had the same thing when we were in Tibet last year. That time the entire iPod refused to work permanently. Brought it back to the shop, and it got repaired (or so I was told). No the same thing is happening all over again :(

I just hope that the iPod will remain working for the next one or two months, because there might be a full screen video iPod early next year :P

So, anyone wanna buy a 20GB Photo iPod (it's little over a year old)?
