Any ideas on what's wrong with my ipod?

Question

for hours now, when i try to turn it on, nothing happens. the little apple doesn't show up. it's just blank.

it's charged - i used both my walldoc (nothing happened) and i plugged it into my computer (nothing happened. my computer doesn't detect it at all)

basically, it's completely dead. but i don't think it's broken.. i haven't banged/dropped it recently, that i can recall.

ah, and i've tried the pressing menu+center for 6-8 seconds. multiple times. nada.

O.o any ideas? i don't really want to go to the apple store. blaa.

Answer 1

Did you toggle the lock switch from lock to unlock then hold the menu and center button in? An apple should show up on the screen. Hold them in longer than 8 seconds. It worked for me when mine locked up.  Good luck.

If you dont have the ipod classic, google "troubleshoot ipod _____" and fill in the blank with the model you have.  You should find a way to reset it somehow.
