I think I've mentioned before that I'm on my second iPod. The first one I had was a third-generation 30GB which lasted 2 and 1/2 years - I was lost when it died. I replaced it with a fourth-generation 40GB which was problematic at first, but has since settled down. Well, recently I found "this article":http://www.spillingcoffee.com/2006/07/13/how-to-fix-an-ipod-with-the-sad-ipod-icon/ and after trying it out on my old 3G I find myself in possession of two perfectly working iPods. I've been listening to my 3G all night, now, and it's still rocking along. It actually sounds better than my 4G, though I have no clue why that would be. What the hell am I going to do with two iPods? I guess I might see if my brother wants my 3G.I'm still stunned that the fix was so simple. I'm a mac-head and a techie and I tried _everything_ - resetting, reformatting, degaussing (yes, I know...) - and usually it'd have an HD failure during or right after all those steps. It's been sitting dead on a shelf for most of a year, now, and after whapping it on a paperback book a few times to reset the HD connection, it's working like a dream. Goddamn. Ifni is a perverse goddess.
