80GB iPod dead?

[ookkerpak]

I installed the newest Rockbox for my iPod 80GB video today. Also added some fonts and themes downloaded from this site. First there were some issues with the playback, it did just show the filename and did not play the song. I restarted and everything worked fine. Then I stopped playback and shut down the iPod. Now it won't turn back on. No apple logo, nothing. The battery isn't dead, the computer won't recognize it, the ipodpatcher.exe won't find it. Any ideas?

Have you tried resetting it?  Hold MENU+SELECT together for a few (or maybe up to 30) seconds.

Thanks mate. I had tried it but not for half a minute. Almost started to cry, received my ipod yesterday.

are you using a wall charger or usb to charge your ipod?? i had a similar problem

[ookkerpak]

Just USB. The phenomenon keeps repeating itself every now and then. Sometimes there is no problem turning on the power traditionally but sometimes resetting is necessary.

In explorer (my computer), what drive letter is your ipod assigned? If it is a lower letter such as D or E there can be issues with itunes not seeing it or seeing it and not being able to do anything with it. For instance windows is on my E drive and it assigned C to my ipod. Not only did itunes not recogmize it but my pc completly froze. Eventualy when it woke up and I was able to close itunes,  I assigned Z as the ipod drive letter and as soon as I clossed explorer itunes fired up and recognizes my ipod. So see what it is and change it to a higher letter like H or S or something.  8-)

I only have problems turning on the device itself. After it starts up the connection between ipod and computer works fine. It is assigned as F:\

I have the same problem, my ipod (80gb) doesn´t switch on anymore.

what worked for me was to first reset it with the menu-select and then press select-play to enter the Disk mode. See if that gets you anywhere.

why what would happen if you used a wall recharger?

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that your player would recharge.
