It sounds to me like one of two things:

1) You need to let the battery charge up, or

2) You have a dying hard drive; my 4G iPod color has a bad drive as well and doesn't spin up occasionally, giving me a "sad iPod" when it fails to spin up.

It's not bricked. As Calculus said, your hard drive is probably dying. If that's the case, I believe it is possible to order a new HDD and manually replace the bad one.

None of the models currently in production work with rockbox, but I suppose you might get lucky nd find an old model.

Please use the modify button if no-one has posted since you, rather than double posting.

The Sansa Clip does not run Rockbox, if that's what you are trying to ask.

Since this thread no longer has anything to do with disk mode on an iPod, I'm going to close it.
