Press Center to Dismiss

Try using the reset utility from Apple.

You could call Apple and ask them were to find that. I can't find it right now. Sorry.

From when the iPod is off, try pressing down the middle button and play button for a few seconds, this should take the iPod into "Disk Mode", then you can do a proper thorough disk check or a full format. It's still possible to resore the iPod after a full format.

Just make sure the headphones are pushed right in and try and push something small up there to clean it out. Do a search on google before you do send it to be repaired, it could be a common problem with an easy fix!

I dont think a Q-tip can fit...
also if resetting doesn't workthen maybe you should try to find an Apple computer and plug it in and see what happens. If it works then go back and try it on your computer. If it still dosent work then the problem must be the cord and fireware of your iPod.
