iPod mounting problem

[lear]

I have an iPod (60gb) with a broken screen. I have still been using it without the screen working (in shuffle mode). Now when I plug it in to my computer, it won't mount. The backlight blinks periodically while it is plugged in however. Does anyone know what this means?

Screen or not, have you tried the 5 Rs? http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
