the buttons need pressing are the Play/Pause and the menu button IIRC. Otherwise send it back to Apple or take it to an Apple* Shop!!

If it clicks, normally means its kaput. I dropped my old one down the stairs and it didnt work again.......

chances are it'll be the internal flash, which can be changed (do a google about it) but from what i can remember it has to be like for like (toshiba stuff i think). But i think the pins are soldered directly to the board and not a connector.
2nd hand nano's are pretty cheap now tbh, so get her one of those

yeah i was wrong, its a mini not a nano 
I read up on a website how to take the hdd out and put compact flash in...might be an idea to do that and buy her a new one and keep the one i fix for myself

if its a mini, then it uses a microdrive (Hitachi i believe), again can be replaced. But yea, think the compact flash is pretty much a straight plug 'n' play swap (unlikes CF into an IPod) plus it'll increase battery power - here
