Ipod 80gb won't turn on.
« on: May 25, 2007, 02:38:06 PM »
I installed rockbox yesterday on my ipod 80gb.  It was working great, no problems, I turned it off and left it overnight.  Today I tried to turn it on and nothing happened.  I thought maybe the power had been drained so I plugged it into a usb port, still nothing.  Anyone have any ideas on how to get it to work again?

Thanks!

Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons simultaneously until the player reboots.  If this doesn't work, try turning the hold button on and then off again, and then retry the Menu+Select combination.

Thanks for the quick reply, the second trick worked!

I'm pretty certain I turned off rockbox before I left it and the battery drained, and I know I'd set it to idle off in 5 min as well.  Is there a way to avoid the battery drain issue?
