rockbox bricked my ipod? (false alarm it didnt brick thanks for the help everyon

[grimmm]

Hi im new to these forums and stumbled on rockbox from these forums... i installed and used it for about 2 minutes before turning it off... the only problem is my ipod wont turn on now. Its a 5g 30gb ipod video. i installed everything right because i was using it for a short period of time but now my screen is completley black. I tried to do a restart (menu + select) and that doesnt work and i cant plug it in to my comp because it doesnt recognize it... i've even used different usb ports and none work... is my ipod bricked? what the hell happened i thought rockbox doesnt brick ipods?
ps i didnt know where to post this so sorry if its in the wrong section but please help me

Sounds like the battery is dead.  Charge it overnight and then try and turn it on.

and thank you for the amazingly fast reply

Try doing the FULL restart procedure, rather than just holding Menu+Select as described here http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=8205.0 (and try it while the iPod is plugged into the computer).

Rockbox has never bricked an iPod, or at least nobody has ever told us about a case where one has been bricked. Every single time we've had it reported to us, it's either been fixable by a proper restart, or it's been a case of hardware failure such as the disk drive finally giving out (or in one case, a bad AC adapter damaging a charging circuit, etc).
