Ipod constantly locked

Hi there so y ipod classic is being a pain. it recently stopped working all together so Ive had it fixed and the harddrive was replaced. But now, after I havn't even had it back for a week it stopped working again. It says its constantmy locked. and the padlock icon is constantly showing, and everything it does is like its locked. Ive completly recharged it but nothing changed. Ive also tried plugging it into the computer but that hasnt changed anything.
Everything else works. Ie when you charge it, it lights up to say it charging etc but just that its still locked etc.but then when theres no activity it turns off.
I also tried all taht button holding down stuff to reboot my opd as sugested but still no luck...
help please

You need to replace the lock switch.

IPod constantly locks up

My iPod Nano constantly locks up when I push the play button to play something. I have to reset the iPod. I've reinstalled the software several times. Is it time for Applecare?

You should try restoring the iPod.
See: How to restore the iPod to factory settings.
If it's still happening after that, especially "50%" of the time, it's indicative of a wider issue.

Take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.

TA44551 My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work.

- After charging for 1/2 hour or so, does iTunes see the iPod? If yes, restore the iPod from backup.
- If no, se if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make it visible so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:

My ipod is locked. I have forgotten my password. How can I unlock it?

I have forgotten my password. Have tried combinations and now my ipod is locked.
How can I unlock my Ipod?

You do not have to restore as new. You can restore fom backup since the screen-lock passcode isnot in the backup. ALso, if iTunes asks for the passcode andyu can't enter the passcode place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode:
