iPod help needed

[Ray de Galles]

My iPod is permanently locked, whatever position the relevant switch is in and the usual reset procedure doesn't work.

In fact, I can only get the creen up when it's on charge. Otherwise it's totally dead.

Time for a new one or can it be fixed?

That's happened with mine a couple of times in the past, and I just let the battery run totally dead, and it was fine after I recharged it. Might be worth a try if you haven't done so already.

Does it show up in iTunes? You can do a restore from there.

Ooooh, how would I go about doing that?

I'd try it but I can't run the battery down as the device is locked.

If you can see it from the computer, I am sure there is a way to do a full reset.

Plug your iPod into your computer. When/if it recognizes the machine, go to the main screen and, where you'd normally click 'sync', click the restore button. It'll wipe it clean and reload it with all programs and your songs. It takes quite a while.

Yeah do a restore, my iphone was playing silly buggers recently but it seems to be sorted after a restore
