Title: can't seem to start rockbox
Post by: deadbat on September 23, 2007, 02:28:51 PM

i have a 4g 20gb ipod with rockbox installed and i can't get it to startup.  it says to hold menu/select and it just won't turn on.  the only way i can get it to turn on is to plug it into the usb cable.  any help?  i tried searching but no luck.

nope.  i read to turn the hold on and then off and then try menu+select and get nothing.  this is making me mad because this is the only reason i don't use rockbox and i want to use it!

What happens if you simply press the Select button?  Does it turn on?

And what happens when you insert the USB cable?
