dead frozen ipod
Hi
I recently had problems with my ipod nano, it was frozen nothing would work stuck on language bar, wheel unresponsive etc. I came across a previous forum prob from a few years ago that Quoted
"I know this topic might be old, but this recently happened to my friends ipod nano, and it wouldn't turn on and obviously the click wheel was disabled. Seeing I am a "computer geek," according to him he asked me to fix it.
At first i thought it was Firmware, so I backed up all his music and restored it. That didn't work.
So I browsed the internet for ideas and game along this forum and various other sites that had majority of the same ideas. I didn't want to open it up because it wasn't my ipod, like one site says to do. So at school i popped the cap off the hold switch, with my finger nail, or you could use a pen. I got something sharp like a pin, pen or a paper clip and moved the switch into the off position and then clipped the cap back onto the switch. The ipod now works fine, the hold switch still works and I didn't have to open it. Just flick off a flimsy cap and then put it back on."
I tried this initially and it didnt work, but when i tried again i put the pin a bit further into the hold switch and moved it to the off position (felt like it had clicked over) and would you believe it, it worked.
No need to take ipod apart!
Hope this helps as I know how frustating this is!
