Another Problem with 30G iPod

Llorean:
The "Sad Face" image means "Bring it to apple for service." But it can also simply mean "The firmware partition is corrupt, boot into disk mode and restore your iPod" if I recall.

GodEater:
Apple's site recommends this page if you have a sad face on your ipod :

Actually, it does mean either or. My dad's iPod started giving him a "Sad Face" about 3 months ago, and it turned out to be a hardware failure; the hard drive died. After replacing it and restoring the iPod (and Rockboxing it!), it works just fine now.
