Have you tried resetting your iPod?
Toggle the Hold switch on and then back off, then press & hold the
Select and Menu buttons for at least 6 seconds. The Apple logo will
appear when reset.

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?
