Blank Screen - nothing works - cannot shut down
« on: February 11, 2007, 02:06:15 PM »
Hello everybody,

one our ago I installed RockBox on my iPod nano (1. G.) with success. I listened to a few mp3-Files and went on to some WMA-Files - but they could not be played back. I went to "Open with" and selected something like "Properties". Then the screen got completely blank but stayed glowing until now.
I cannot shut it down.
Connecting to my Windows-PC has not any effect.

What shall I do? - Wait unitil the power of the battery has gone?

Turn the hold switch to on, then to off. Then hold down Menu and the center button for up to 30 seconds (or until your iPod restarts).

Rockbox doesn't play WMA files by the way.
