Not possible. The Classic only comes in 80 and 160GB models. You most likely have an iPod 5th generation (video).
Try a reset.

Hey @dg3,
Thank you for posting in the HP Support Forum.
I see that you're curious about 'automatic servicing' when reviewing what looks to be a selection from a print quality issue article pertaining to your HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One printer. I would like to help.
Allow me to answer your question as succinctly as I'm able: automatic servicing as a printer user's troubleshooting step is essentially doing nothing but allowing time, and other automated factors to intervene in resolving a print quality issue. I'm sure that you have noticed that when you turn your printer on, it makes some startup sounds - these indicate that your printer is readying itself for the business of printing, ie. - the carriage is moving into place, the printheads are preparing themselves. Sometimes these automated functions can help resolve a printing issue. Further, in the context of the article you're reading, sometimes the combined factors of time and powercycling your printer (turning off and on) will clear up minor print quality issues.
Does this satisfy your curiosity?
Also, since you were reviewing content from a troubleshooting article, do you require any assistance with your printer beyond what you've posted? Please respond to this post with details if you have any further questions or concerns. I'm always happy to help fellow Forum users.
Thanks again for posting in the HP Support Forum and have a great day!

have you tried restarting the iPod? hit menu and the center button together until the screen turns off.

When turned on says Accessorize Test and is locked. How can I unlock and use it?

when I turned my 30gb ipod on it says accessorize Test and is locked on this screen. Any suggestions?

Reset the iPod. To do this, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Somehow the iPod start up in diagnostic mode, but the reset should bring things back to normal.

What is an accessorize test

what is an accessorize test

It is a test available in diagnostic mode on your iPod that allows you to test the connection of accessories to the iPod usually it's dock connector port.
If you need to know how to get out of this mode, you can simply reset the device. To reset the iPod, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

IPod stuck on Accessorize Test

Can anyone help me with this issue? This morning, I touched my iPod and the ipod went into Accessorize Test and I cannot turn the iPod off or reset the iPod.

Hello jawss,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
This morning, I touched my iPod and the ipod went into Accessorize Test
How in the world did that happen?
Anyways, by resetting the iPod, do you mean you are pressing and holding the Center and Menu buttons together until the Apple logo appears? Have you made sure the hold switch wasn't activated as well?
If you are unable to get any sort of response from your iPod, try letting the battery completely drain. Then hook it up to your computer and charge, and once it has enough juice for iTunes to pick it up, go ahead and Restore it there.

Stuck in Diagnostic Test/Accessorize Test

I turned on my iPod video today and I received the "Diagnostic Test" screen. I didn't know how to take it off that screen. I looked around and I clicked on Accessorize Test. Now I'm permanently stuck on that screen. It will not turn off, reset or connect to my computer when I plug it in. The backlight will also not turn off. Help? This is what the screen looks like.

After numerous times of trying the "4 R's" (see tech support) it finally reset and is now working normally. I had it plugged in to the computer using the USB cable for about and hour and must have tried the reset at least 20 times when it finally worked. Yeah!

My ipod 30GB reads---Accessorize test :( PLAESE HELP!!!!!!

PLEASE HELP ME! My ipodGB reads "accessorize test". below that it says "please plug FW, LCD ID:1, FWPWR:0" what do i do? i can not use it, or plug it into my computer...but the backlight stays on. i have tried to reset it many times. i also do not want to be charged to fix it . plaese help me, im lost without my ipod!

Interesting, the link you were given has a similar test within it but to get to it you have to reset and then when the apple logo appears hold down the centre and the rev buttons. When you do that the apple logo reverses and you get a list of tests as shown in the link you were given. I'm guessing you haven't done that?
I haven't ever seen a diagnostic test come up on screen without going into diagnostic mode but perhaps there is some simple test built in just to test accessories.
Usually with the other tests you just do whatever is asked and you get a pass or fail. You can usually exit by doing a reset where necessary or sometimes by pushing the menu button but you've probably tried that.
The other option is to do what it asks and see if you can exit by going through them.
"Please plug FW" means plug in a firewire cable, connected to something probably, so if you have one, plug it in.
LCD ID:1 simply means your screen is connected.
FWPWR:0 means that your ipod is not drawing power via a firewire connection.
If you plug in your firewire cable it should change to a 0.
It is possible that will be the end of it or alternatively you will get another screen asking you to plug in your usb cable and possibly your head phones and a remote.
Hopefully the remote test will be optional because you may not have one!
In these kind of tests a 0 means no or not present and a 1 means yes or working ok or connected.
Having written all this, probably the quickest way to find out how to stop it is to call Apple!
If you get a test for the click wheel you will need to scroll it around and around several times until it says pass or possibly in both directions.
You may get a "key test" which means just push all the buttons.
Good luck and interested to hear what happens.

Froze on Accessorize Test!!! Please HELP!!!!!!!!!!

my ipod is froze on an accessorize test and says "please plug FW"
I have no idea what that means and i have no idea how it got on that page. The screen is white with black writing. I really don't know how to fix it. It wont reset and it wont connect to my computer. It is not responding in any way.
Can someone please please please help me. What can i possibly do to fix it?

What's an "accessorize test"?
says "please plug FW"
It says that (in those exact words) on the iPod's screen?
If it's locked up with the screen ON and doing the two-button reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
does not work (no response), just let the iPod sit disconnected until the it goes off due to lack of power. Then connect it to charge and try using it normally.
If does respond to doing a reset, but it keeps going back to an error screen, that is different from "not responding in any way." Please post back.

Frozen on Accessorize Test

I have a 30GB iPod Video that I got for Mother's Day 2006. This morning my daughter went to use it and it was going through some type of diagnostics. Now it's stuck on a screen titled Accessorize Test. It's frozen solid. Can anyone help with this? Thank you.
iPod Video 30GB

Did you get into that diagnostic screen on accident or were you trying to get there?
It goes into the diagnostic screen, if you are resetting the ipod and then hit center+rewind.
Most times this is done on accident, I would advise not running any of the tests as some can take up to 2 hours to complete.
If you get into this screen, resetting the ipod is your best option.
