So, my faithful (before today of course) 3rd gen iPod that has been through thick and thin with me for nearly three years now has bitten the proverbial dust. After coming on, it played one song on a Shuffle Songs setting then started to repeat the same song again. The screen went out about half a second in to repeating the song, and it stopped all action.
Since then I have intermittently gotten it to show the Apple logo and/or a folder with an exclamation point. It does not respond to the standard Menu/Play reset combo, nor does it respond to being plugged into the computer. When the screen comes on, it works fine (no dark or white lines) and I can hear the HD spinning and it sounds normal. Is there hope for my portable friend?
I put a new battery in him in January, and he was good as new. I'd hate to lose him now! At first I thought that it might be a hard drive problem, but I wonder if the logic board has shorted out somewhere. HELP!
Thanks,
BK
