Ipod Video 30g wont turn on, any help why please?

So I have found this old ipod video I must have got when it first came out. It has been a while since it has been used, and it may be heavily damaged, I am not sure. But when I press any button it remains on the Apple loading screen, as in the dark background with a dimly lit apple logo. This ipod is way past any warranty, and I am trying to do a self repair to save some money. I already tried charging it no luck. I connected it to the computer and my computer never recognized it, I reset it (menu and select) no luck, put it in disc mode (pause/play and select) no luck. But the screen stays on at the Apple logo. Can anybody tell me how I can fix this problem or what is the cause of it. Thank you very much.
PS I am from Chicago so if anyone knows of any places that can help me for cheap let me know.

actually i tryed doing the thing where u hold put the usb cord into the ipod while holding the home button and i tryed to restore it and it came up with in error that said that its not eligible for the requested build. i dont have the newest version of itunes on my mac and i heard u need the newest version to get the newest software for the ipod touch and it said restore and UPDATE in the beginning so maybe thats the problem? idk plzzz someone help me!!
my last post has already been resolved so dont bother with that.

    Hi Ajburmy,
    You should contact Apple, either by calling the appropriate phone number on this page or by carrying in the iPod and charger to an Apple retail store. As this is at least potentially a safety issue (because of the sparking) I am certain that they will at least want to hear about it.
    Whatever you do, don't use the iPod or charger until Apple has said it is okay.
    Best of luck.

  • IPod Video 30G Won't turn off, any suggestions?

    My daughter has an iPod Video 30G player. All of the sudden this morning, the thing won't shut down. She presses and holds the section on the wheel that is supposed to turn the thing off and nothing happens.
    Everything else works fine. The songs all play, the menu, forwarding through songs, etc... The only problem is the thing won't turn off.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    I have exactly the same problemo.
    While i'm jogging, my 30gig video ipod will freeze up cold and I have to let the battery completely drain before I can use the thing. The odd thing is that it only freezes after a song finishes (very considerate). None of the buttons work, nada.
    Is there a way to reset the thing short of waiting all day for the battery to drain...or is it time to sell it on eBay and buy a new one?????

  • New songs synced to my ipod wont play, the songs play fine on itunes and appear on ipod but wont play..any help appreciated

    New songs synced to my ipod wont play, the songs play fine on itunes and appear on ipod but wont play..any help appreciated

    So, if you select one of these songs on the iPods screen, and try to play it, what happens?  The iPod does nothing?  It skips to the next song?
    It's possible you will have to do a Restore on the iPod, if there is data corruption on the iPod causing this problem.  The Restore erases the iPod, and removes any corruption.
    NOTE:  There may be a hardware problem, such as the iPod's hard drive becoming unreliable, that is causing this problem and data issues.  It may continue to operate as long as its data stays mostly unchanged, but if you do a Restore to update the hard drive's data in a major way, it is possible that the Restore will fail and leave the iPod non-operable.

  • My ipod touch 5 wont turn on. It was working fine about an hour ago and now it does tot respond to any action i take.

    My ipod 5 suddenly wont turn on and is not responsive to any action, what can i try?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

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

    I'm afraid that you're not going to like what I'm about to write...
    Your T40 has most likely become a victim of the infamous GPU failure that T4x/R5x with ATi graphics are infamous for, where the video card starts detaching itself from the motherboard as a result of  heating/cooling cycles and/or physical stress on the chassis.
    Re-flowing/re-balling the solder in the GPU area or motherboard replecement are your only choices.
    Good luck and let us know.

  • Ipod Video 30g & Canon Ixus 750 Digital Camera

    Hi all,
    Just wondering if anyone has any experience using the Ipod camera Connector with a Canon Ixus 750 digital camera - am about to buy the ipod video 30g and this is a must for travelling overseas for downloading photos.
    If it does work (apple site doesn't list it as 'supported') where do the picture files end up - in a folder on the ipod accesible when youi connect to usb on my g4 powerbook?
    Any info would be appreciated

    Rick,
    I have had no problem with a Rebel XT and the 60gb Video iPod.
    There are a limited number of card readers which will also work according to this site:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPodCameraConnector
    I have no first hand knowledge if they will also work the the video iPod as that list was generated for the 4G iPods.
    There are several threads on the pro and cons of using the iPod as a digital wallet at the media and storage forum on DPreview. Do a search on "iPod"

    That error is usually a hardware error. Make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and have it checked.
