Help Me ipod has no disk mode!!!!

(1/3) > >>

rockboxacdc:
ok I have a 4gen grayscale ipod and I was listining to it yesterday and then I turned it off. Now when I turn it on either a sad face comes up a half charging screen or a folder with an excalmation point. disk mode wont work it only worked once last night is there any way to fix this??????

LambdaCalculus:
It sounds to me like one of two things:

1) You need to let the battery charge up, or

2) You have a dying hard drive; my 4G iPod color has a bad drive as well and doesn't spin up occasionally, giving me a "sad iPod" when it fails to spin up.

rockboxacdc:
so is my ipod completely bricked?

Strife89:
It's not bricked. As Calculus said, your hard drive is probably dying. If that's the case, I believe it is possible to order a new HDD and manually replace the bad one.

rockboxacdc:
Oh well about two secdonds ago my ipod went into disk mode but before i could open itunes it reset itself
