Broken iPod - Please help!

[SoonToGetAMac]

I reset it when when it was acting up, and now my G3 iPod is stuck on the bootup screen with the apple logo, and the screen is getting darker, and the back is getting really hot because the disk won't spin down. What should I do?

have you tried plugging it in/unplugging it? it's supposed to reboot every time you connect it to a computer, that might help... otherwise, it's a matter of keeping it cool while the battery drains, then maybe getting professional help... hopefully someone else can suggest something...
