can't seem to start rockbox

[deadbat]

i have a 4g 20gb ipod with rockbox installed and i can't get it to startup.  it says to hold menu/select and it just won't turn on.  the only way i can get it to turn on is to plug it into the usb cable.  any help?  i tried searching but no luck.

Is the hold switch on?

[deadbat]

nope.  i read to turn the hold on and then off and then try menu+select and get nothing.  this is making me mad because this is the only reason i don't use rockbox and i want to use it!

What happens if you simply press the Select button?  Does it turn on?

And what happens when you insert the USB cable?

doesnt turn on with select button.

and it will start when i plug the usb cable into it.
