IPod Mini's select button only works to perform reset

I have a first generation iPod Mini which has an unresponsive select button. It will only function to reset the Mini (Menu + Select).
I have restored the iPod Mini with both the June 2006 iPod Updater and iTunes 7.0.2, and performed many a reset. Nothing appears to have helped.
Any ideas?

"i bought a broken mini"
You knew it was broken when you bought it - You really have no-one to blame but yourself.
At any rate... You might try a third party repair service. I see ipodresq recommended on these forums quite a bit.
Good luck.
Cheers!

    I‘d be amazed if you could even FIND a working 1 Gen iPod Mini, let alone actually purchase one.
    i now know why they dicontinued it
    Because it was re-engineered in to the 2G Mini?

    Well, duh?!?
    You tore it apart an dremoved & replaced bits an pieces. Even if the warranty time frame was still good, your actions would have voided it completely.
    You can try www.ipodresq.com or google “iPod repair“.

    Right click on the iPod Nano icon.  "Eject" should pop up.  At least that is the way it works on Macs.

    Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit. So they can't handle the home-button issue without also addressing the issue of the cracked screen, for which they'll almost certainly charge you. But you can make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple tech support and plead your case.

  • Ipod 4th gen volume buttons not working. Volume bar not showing in music or video apps, not a speaker problem as this works fine when testing built in alarm tones???

    Have you tried the standard fixes:
    - Reset:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
    - Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If still problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    I can't get the patch select buttons to work in edit mode. When I select any template, the set buttons or the patch buttons don't work at all. My up and down arrows work fine but I need the on screen buttons to be assigned to my footswitch.

  • Touch Select Button not work

    Well this thing just will not work and I cannot figure it out for the life of me. Here is the problem.
    Music loads fine. Music will play fine.
    However, when I go to the menu, and press the middle button, or any button that is suppose to select a menu option such as Music Library, Photos, Video ETC...it doesn't go there..it just goes to Now Playing and picks a random song from the album of the day and plays it. It does this EVERYTIME.
    I bought the thing about 8 months ago, and I never used it once I just found a use for it so am desperately wanting to get it working and it won't.
    Is this a common problem with an easy fix? What do I do? I tried doing the thing where you hold the power button and press the reset button to reformat or something, and I can get there but the select button doesn't work so I can't select it! But in turn I know the select button DOES work as when I press it it plays a song..just seems screwed up.
    PLEASE HELP!

    anybody please help?
    How do you take this think apart?

  • My ipod shuffle (4th gen) don't works after hard reset with itunes

    My ipod shuffle (4th gen) don't works after hard reset with itunes, it don't reads too like USB by Windows.
    Before that i've seen error (-50) in iTunes, so i reset ipod.
    I've read all tips on this site, but nothing helps me.

    No, USB works good. I've tried reset on my friend's PC, and it saw my ipod and reset was done. But when i tried to load music, it wrote me, that i've installed incorrect software.

  • Radio Buttons only work after selecting another field

    In my Access 2010 database, I have an option group consisting of 3 radio buttons.  If I select the first button I Access will allow me, but if I then want to change my selection to the third button I can only do so if I select another field
    before I can make the button change.  Now, if I want to change my selection again from the third button to the second button, I must select another field then select the second button.
    I just can't figure out what is going on here.  Does anyone have any clue or explanation that will help me???  Thank you!

    I will add that originally this option group of radio buttons was working perfectly fine.  This issue surfaced when I included a tab control to the form and moved all the fields onto the first tab.
    It seems that having to select another field before changing a radio selection is limited when using the mouse; however, if I use any of the up/down or left/right arrow keys on the keyboard it will change radio button selections without selecting another field
    (as one would expect it to).
    Hi Eli,
    Probably it has something to do with the focus of the form (first tab) with the radio buttons. Someway that form looses focus when clicking a radio button. By selecting another field the form receives focus again, so you can use the radio buttons again.
    You can check it happens in this way.

  • Okay before my ipod power and volume buttons werent working but i never dropped it, then one day i was in a app and my ipod froze so i held the home button down and the screen went a bright green color and isnt showing up in itunes

    okay I just recently bought a ipod touch 4thG and im already having issues. recently the power and volume buttons stopped working after i syncd my ipod, i shrugged it off figuring it would come back i could live without it. but today I was on my ipod while it was charging and the screen just froze so i pressed and held the home button (being that's the only button that actually works) then the screen turned this bright yellowish lime green color and its not responding to ANYTHING! my computer isnt even reading it when i plug it up into itunes! so what should i do? can anyone help me? i feel like i just wasted $200...

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
