Re: Recommendations for iPod repairs?
I repaired my 5th gen ipod broken screen through www.ifixit.com. The components were fairly priced, although SH was a rip off (more than the actual cost of the components, which may have weight less than 100gr!). They have both repair tutorials and troubleshooting guides. Maybe you can get down to ID the exact problem.

Re: Recommendations for iPod repairs?
Thanks all, ifixit was the first place I looked, but the nano is really small and delicate, unlike my hands! I know that the guides there are great, I recently had to perform open HD surgery on my iBook :) I will take a look at iResq (thanks Bruce) Also, I will take a look at the dock connector, as suggested by Wallace, to make sure that nothing is causing a short in there.
