Rockbox General > Rockbox General Discussion

I knew iPods were badly constructed...

Zsan:
Not the worl'd best title, I know. This has more to do with the electronics, btw. My iPod won't turn on, That's to say, whether I hold center, Menu+Center, or any other button combination. Switching Hold won't help, and even USB or normal power won't help, at all.

I'm going to ask: Can Rockbox have to do with this? Otherwise, I'm asking Apple to fix it for me.

Raineer:
Rockbox won't cause your device to simply not power on. Following Apple's instructions on how to reset it will work fine on a functioning iPod.

Chronon:
Have you held 'Menu'+'Select' for at least a minute?  Sometimes it can take a while to recognize the button combo.

GodEater:
...and have you made sure you've charged the battery properly?

Yotto:
And, just for completeness, the correct way to turn on your iPod is "Menu" all by itself, which isn't one of the 'all the combinations' you listed so...
