Yes, the thread title is accurate. My iPod (4G 20GB non-color) has just died, as far as I can tell. It begins the startup process, loads the Apple logo onto the screen for about 5-6 seconds, then clicks, goes blank, and starts over. It'll repeat this for 10 minutes or so, then shut off completely. I was hoping perhaps it would fix itself, but no luck there. I'm planning on going down to the Apple Store tomorrow, though I don't know if they'll be much help. I doubt it's quite worth repairing it, but has anyone else sent in their iPods for repair out of warranty? If it's $80 or so, I'd rather do that, but if it goes much past that it's not really worth it. Alternatively, has anyone had this problem and know what the problem is? The click makes me suspect the hard drive, it sounds like the dead hard drives I've seen in computers, except that it's just a single click instead of a repeated clicking, and it always occurs at the same point during the startup.
