is fucked who the hell knows how to unfreeze a ipod its stuck between 2 pages and the time wont change it has turned its self off after hours of sitting there now the fucker wont turn on

take the battery out and hold the power button down for like 30 seconds to a minute. then try to run it again.

hahaha! I think I HAVE one of those!

If it doesn't start working after a reboot, smack it against something to see if the harddrive unlocks. The disk can jam because it's a mechanical device.

Apologize for the beatings you've given it.

It's being cranky, and won't turn on for you.

Send it in while you can since harddrive problems can only get worse.
