Reset, toggle the hold switch and hold the menu and select button for 6 seconds. If that doesn't work, try plugging it into the charger/computer. If that doesn't work, then send dat shit in and get a new one.

Hold down the center button and the menu button. Try plugging it in to power. Uhhhh, I'm sure there is other things that you can do. Call Apple?

just plug that shit in and it should be fine. if nothing changes hold the center and PLAY button, that can reset it sometimes.

I had an old school 20 gig and that same thing happened. What happened with mine though, (from what I think) is that something got knocked loose inside and when I tilted it and smacked it a few times and pressed menu, it would work. But if that's not the case, then maybe hitting it isn't the best idea. But something just to keep in mind as a last resort, ha ha.

Yeah seeing how your warranty is over, might as well. I'd try hitting it first/dropping it again and then reseting again. My 20gb color would fuck up (folder with :( showed up) and you hit it and it would work, pretty cool.

if you read it he said its 4 years old... and one thing i have to say is that i'm thinking about starting an iPod repair shop cause well, put it this way i have a very very good idea of what things mean on the iPod but the folder with the "!" usually means it's a motherboard error... and i'm not sure if i can get another one, i'm thinking i might be able to, but what generation is your iPod 1st or 2nd? or 3rd
