Problem with my Ipod and its hacking me off.
The screen has frozen and even if I switch it off (holding down the play/pause button) the screen stays the same.
Curiously enough the thing still works, but thats only due to me knowing where on my songs I am and how to use it without looking at the screen. Volume, track advance, and scan through tracks all work, just not the screen.
Anyone know if there is a reset switch on this thing that cuts the power? atm I've got it at max volume to deaden the battery
cheers in advance,
astraboy.

hold menu and play button together

Thats not quite right. For 4G, 5G mini and nano iPods you need to toggle the hold switch on and off and then hold down Menu and Select for about 10secs until the Apple logo is displayed.

For 3G you do the hold toggle and then play and menu at the same time for about 10secs, you may need to do this again until it works.

Why have I got an image in my head of you stood on a train station platform in your dayglo vest dancing

There you go.

Never had to toggle the switch in my experience.

I usually forget that bit and I think it has worked on occassion, although last time it definitely needed toggle cos my iPod was well and truely fubared.

The iPod reset switch is shock protected and can only be activated by throwing the iPOD at a wall as hard as you possibly can
