I have a 4 gen 20 GB HP iPod--bought it in 2005. I haven't used it much
since I got my pink Nano last Fall. It worked OK last time I used it a
couple of months ago, but won't start up, even after charging overnight.
When connected to my Mac, iTunes first displays all contents, then says
it's corrupted. I can't get iTunes to update iPod software before it
locks up. Yes, iPod's backed up!
iPod will only start up with Menu + Select. Startup shows apple, folder
with ! and www.apple.com/support/ipod. When I put it into Diagnostic
Mode, apple is backwards. I'm not sure of all the diagnostic items. Does
it need a new battery, or something else? DIAGNOSTICS:
