I bought a 5 gig iPod last november, I havnt had a problem till now. Ok, for starters, the center button dose not work, the menu button dose not work, and when I switch the Hold button, it dose the function of the center button. WTF is going on. I tried redoing the softwear and updating, that didn't do anything. I'm at my wits end. I really don't want to send this thing into Apple, my warrenty is out and Im sure this problem will cost me out of the behind to get repaired. anybody have any ideas on how I can fix this myself!!! Please!!! It still works, but I want it to work the normal way.
Got a tip for us?

You have a severe (and from what I have read, unique) hardware conflict. No software can restore hardware issues of this multitude.
If you bought the iPod from Apple, you should have a one year warranty. (I am not certain on this.) If you bought your iPod from a third party reseller or even a used iPod, you may be in deeper troubles.
Where did you get your iPod from?
Also, when this start happening?

Take it to the Genius Bar and show them the problem. They'll probably try to fix it, but if they can't pinpoint the problem they'll probably give you a new one.
My first 5 GB iPod had a fatal battery problem. The folks at my Apple store took it back and gave me a new one for free (the iPod had been purchased there and was less than a year old).
That's one weird problem, though.
