iPod Click. Die.

This happened to me, what you have to do is open your ipod, yes, you do, dont worry, its not that hard and is fun, unplug the HDD (its attatched with a ribbon typ thing going into the main board, just pull on it slightly and it will come free) then plug the hdd back in and reassemble. i'm telling you this worked for me, try it if your ipod stops working again. hey, you've got nothing to loose right?

Um, the OP already did this and it seems to be working for him Xander562.


But thanks for providing a good tip on how to get an iPod to work again.

Xander, look up the thread a bit. I did that, and yes, it's working now. Mostly. It wouldn't do an automatic update, so I've got it on manual now, and unless I really get something good, I won't even try to update it from now on. Seems like the safest route to me.

After this little incident, I am sure that you will think twice about upgrading the iPod's firmware.

Another smart guy....

I guess that I opened myself up for some comments with that remark about being lost without my iPod.

In Soviet Russia, your iPod is lost without YOU!

Oh.. sorry.. this is not Slashdot

I think I'll be more willing, actually. Might help the problem not come back.

LOL , but no, this is not Slashdot.

Good, I was just afraid that this experience would scare you away from this sort of thing. Glad to hear that you are unfazed from this little incident with your iPod skywalker!
