iPod Nano stuck

[edwinquan]

Hey 
I went to charge my iPod this morning after i turned my ipod running rockbox.I went away to do something and came back to find the iPod froze at the apple screen , this is the 2nd time it happened to me.Ive been holding Select + Menu for ages but no apple logo.. Please help

Try switching the Hold switch on then off.  Then hold Menu + Select until it forces a hard reset.  Make sure your fingers don't move. while you hold the buttons.

 Tried that still doesn't work:'( , which makes me wonder , previously this happened in the exact same way and i got it in for repairs.It took a while to get it back .. So would that mean , to fix my iPod , i will have to hold reset for a long time?

If you really really can't make it work - the alternative is to open it, disconnect the battery, and the reconnect it.

Does that mean i have to desolder the battery and re solder it?I dont really have that type of knowledge

[GodEater]

The battery isn't soldered - it's on a ribbon connector.

What should i use to  open it?

EDIT

Wow: D , after nearly breaking my ipod , i opened it and unplugged the ribbon connector and repluged it , yay it works now  : D thank you so much  GodEater (Y)
