    I-pod help......

    I've had my mini pod for a couple of months and never had any problems without it till now......I paused a track yesterday while taking a phone call and now it won't switch back on. The screen is blank no matter what I press, when I plug it into PC/Mac/wall charger nothing at all happens......any ideas, is there anyway of re-setting it?? :confused:

    you know the problems i had with my ipods! leave it till it totally runs our of battery, then try plugging it in. the only way to re-set it is by using the software u get. so try that? if not, its broke like mine did....

    When i plug into PC or Mac it doesn't pick it up like it would normally so I can't reset it via the software.

    mine did that. One of mine also totally froze, with the Hard disc still spinning. Its carried on spinning for about 8 hours, then over-heated and broke. :p

    my mini has been ok so far...only had it 3 weeks tho.

    Ok, I'll leave it for a couple of days for the battery to die, then try to plug it in on Sunday night, see if it has any life in it then! :cry:

    my Ipod 'died' once and nothing would bring it back....

    Till i found out about the reset function, which was to hold in the middle two buttons for about 5-10 seconds then the whole thing reboots/resets itself.

    The ipod mini is different but there might be something similar with holding in buttons... give it a try perhaps.

    may be a stupid q but have you tried to reset it?

    hold down either the middle button and menu or the middle button and play for a few seconds until you see the apple... after a min or so it should be fine :)

    happened to me a few weeks back an i shat myself thinking i'd have to send it back or something :(
