The reset key combination is hardware driven and a basic feature of all iPods.  It behooves every iPod owner to know how to reset their device in the event of system hang.  If the device hangs before the Rockbox bootloader appears then the fault would seem to be Apple's bootloader code.  Indeed, I have read quite a few accounts of this sort of thing on Apple's forums.

So, are you still having problems, or did the hard reset work? If not, you can reset all settings back to default by flicking the 'hold' switch on immediately after the reset. That would at least fix a backlight issue.
