IPod Touch reseting after iOS 4.0 upgrade

Question

I upgraded my 32GB iPod touch Monday and noticed that if I am playing music and the screen has locked, sometimes I have to reset the iPod to get it to turn back on. So far it has happened about 5 times in the last 3 days, usually after listening to a longer podcast and then waiting 5-10 minutes before moving to something else. Is this a problem with the screen lock function, the home button, or some other issue? Obviously the home button functions, since you have to hold it down to do the reset and I can do that just fine, but could it be unresponsive for some reason after the screen lock function kicks in? Am I hitting the wrong button now to get the iPod screen to turn back on after the OS update? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Using your wife's laptop, you can do the 3.0 upgrade, provided she has iTunes 8.2. You'll need to copy the update from your machine to her laptop. The update on your machine should be located at C:\Documents and Settings\(account name)\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates. The file name is iPod2,13.0_7A341Restore.ipsw You'll need to add the folder \iPod Software Updates to her laptop if it doesn't exist, then copy the update into it. You can then do a restore and it will load 3.0. From there, you can connect to your machine and sync your stuff back.
