My iPod displayed the flat battery symbol (the battery with the exclamation mark) so i was just playing around and decided to hard reset it (MENU) + (MIDDLE BUTTON) + (PLAY/STOP) and up came the apple symbol and my music playlists so i started to play a song. It played for an amazing 12 minutes and 30 seconds before switching off. Has anyone else tried that or can varify my find? I have a 2nd Gen 20gig iPod.
