ipod sad face

(1/2) > >>

xxbatman94xx:
well, i got the sad face for the second time but this time i cant force it into disk mode

any suggestions?

cool_walking_:
I think you're doing it wrong.  Just keep trying to get into disk mode.  Apparently it can take up to a minute of holding down the buttons for it to work.

there's a very good chance your hard drive is going bad

LambdaCalculus:
Most likely. My iPod color is exhibiting the same behavior, and even when it starts up, it sporadically freezes when accessing the drive.

You can either get a transplant drive from another iPod (4th gen or earlier), try for a CompactFlash mod, or visiting iFixit for a new drive.

tdtooke:
There is a possibility that something has become unseated inside.  If you're particularly brave you could open it up and have a look.
