Bear with me - mini 2g problem

<< < (3/4) > >>

Chronon:
Yes, it charges fine in Rockbox.  However, without a Select button your options for starting Rockbox are limited.  I think that disconnecting the battery may be the only way to do this now since holding Play in the Apple firmware only enters a sleep mode and does not actually turn the iPod off.  It's starting to sound like a lot of work for a half-broken player.  

Vair:
Yep, it's a lot of work. But I had nothing much else to do today. The select button, I've since discovered, does work because I can cycle through the menus and count the differing number of clicks. In fact, it seems as though all the buttons work but that pressing firmly causes the wheel's edges to sink down below the edge of the case - if I press the menu button firmly, it sometimes also activates the forward or back button - and I think this problem is what's preventing the double press from working properly.

Now, I realise that while I'm in the apple's firmware, it's going to be a big hassle trying to get it to discharge unless I can find the menu list that will take me to the repeat option in settings and run it overnight (or however long it takes depending on the level of charge).

But, yes, having to do that every time I add or change content on the computer means that it really won't be worth the effort. And I guess, I can still use like a shuffle and an external USB drive. Maybe I'll come back at a later date and see if any future improvements to Rockbox make it a feesable option.

Thanks a ton for your help and patience.

I believe this may be helpful:

However, since the Bear is with you, you may not have time to read that article, so I will try to give you what I feel is the most important point:
If the bear tries to eat you, do not let it - this may be detrimental to your health.  Fight back.

Good luck!

Chronon:
I guess not pressing the Menu button so hard should help, then.


* Place the iPod on a table or flat surface
* Turn the Hold switch on, then back off
* Gently press the Menu and Select buttons -- you should be able to feel when the buttons have
* Keep holding these buttons, being careful not to wiggle your fingers
Hopefully you can get the iPod to reset by doing this.  I don't have a whole lot else to offer unless you can get Rockbox to load, unfortunately.

Vair:
Yes, I have experimented with various differing levels of pressure on the buttons but with no luck, I'm sad to say. Gentle presses just result in the 2-second backlight toggle, as though only the menu button were being held down. I don't hold out much hope for it to start working properly now but I'll continue to give it a go from time to time and if I ever succeed, I'll let you know  :)

Anyway, thanks again for your assistance Chronon. I appreciate the time you've taken to help me out.
