iPod 30g Video / Not working (Please Help)

[Stellar42]

I have had rockbox installed for a few months now, and it has worked very well. Today on my way home though, I had my iPod in regular iPod mode, and it froze up. So, I restarted it (still in iPod mode) it came on but I got the messed up hardware symbol (iPod with a x'ed out face and an exclamation point). I followed the instructions to restore it and nothing has worked. The first time the computer recognized that there was a problem and like the Apple website said, iTunes tried to repair it. And it was all going right but said there was an error. I tried again and now my computer won't recognize my iPod whatsover, (unless it is saying there is a malfunctioning device attached.)

I have followed these directions...

Nothing. I can still get it into diskmode... but that is about it. Any help would be quite appreciated. I can't afford another iPod. >.>

You should probably post this in the Hardware forum - it's not an installation issue.
