Help Quickly (Corrupt iPod)

hold the select button and menu button for like 5 seconds

 

i had to return a ipod for this reason...i tried the reset and everything...thank God i bought mine from Costco

 

That's what I do all the time. It normally works successfully to fix almost any problem with an iPod. If it doesn't fix a problem, though, there really isn't much else you can do.
