ipod wont switch on
« on: November 08, 2008, 12:33:43 PM »
hi hope someone can help.

I just installed rockbox and all looked fine so i switched it off till i had more time. A few hour later when i turned it on it had gone back to the apple set up. I tried to reset it by holding menu and play. It turned off and now wont turn on.

Not knowing which model iPod you have, I am not sure, but for the newer iPods the reset combo is Menu + Select, not Menu + Play.
