Having you tried resetting it by pressing and holding the Menu and Select buttons simultaneously?

Also, please note that our forum guidelines require the use of proper English.  Please avoid using abbreviations like "plz" and do not use ellipses where periods are appropriate.

Yes, i've tried reset and going into disk-mode. Nothing happens i only hear ticks. It sounds like the ipod is trying to boot but isn't able to. The sound is really hard to hear, i have to put my ipod to my ear to hear it.

I'm kind of confused, because it worked perfectly yesterday!

If you haven't already done so, I would try leaving it plugged into the charger for a couple of hours.  It's possible that your hard drive is bad, but if that were the case, you would probably at the very least get the initial apple splash screen.

Once you've let it charge for a period of time, trying flipping the hold switch on and then off again, and re-try the reset sequence.

Ok, have done that nothing happens, only hear the same ticking inside the ipod i heard 12h ago. I see nothing on the screen the only thing that happens is i hear that ticking close to the bottom-connector of the ipod, I suspect it might be a capacitor or a inductor. That is powering up and releasing, I'm thinking of a DC-DC converter. But i haven't read that much about all of the components that ipod has.

I'm beginning to think it would be wise for me to wait until the battery runs out, or i open my ipod and disconnect the battery. This is starting to annoy me! >:(
