Well, in that case the Apple firmware which is responsible for startup (and not on disk but in the flash memory of the Ipod, so it isn't touched by Rockbox at all) would do some handling. I'm pretty sure it would display something like the sad Ipod image or the "contact apple" notice if the disk is completely unreadable.

As far as I know the Ipod turns itself completely off after some time in the deep sleep state. It's be a couple of days but I don't know about the actual values.

DefineByte:
You're assuming it's actually shutdown and not in some hung intermediary state.

If it's not in the official "deep sleep" mode but in some kind of purgatory it may be unable to turn off.

Maybe he could try leaving his iPod for a week (to be safe) and then charging for a day or two via AC.

Llorean:
If it weren't shut down, the hard reset combination should reset it, though, if performed properly. I assume you're suggesting that, for example, it hung on the write of the settings to disk during shutdown perhaps, not having enough power to perform the write?

DefineByte:
The hard reset would work, unless the battery had been fully discharged while it was hung. I wouldn't speculate on the cause of the hang. I'm coming from a position of ignorance.

Maybe a string or something could be written as the last action to be performed by the firmware and see if it gets that far when it hangs (see if it's there on next boot, post-hang).

Hi Lorean,

I was doing what all of you were suggesting to me, i charged with a wall charger and for a long time...... for me long time means more than 4 hours, if you say now that i have to be more than 24 hours charging....ok that is something new for me.

I repeat it. I was doing was i was supposed to do, I charged from differents computers, usb cables and wall charger..... so i was a good boy.....
my complain is only the way to say the things. I was more than 4 days trying to charge the ipod in different ways and then next day i read from a developer..... "Charge the ipod"..... my God!!! that is what i was doing the whole time.

anyway, i will get today my third ipod (i have to say that apple support is working very well to me) and i will try with a new release, so you can see that i believe in all of you and in your work....  ;-)

if i have the same problem i will try this time to charge the ipod during a week if you want me to do it
