IPOD errors

[kronoSX]

At first there was a folder and a triangle on the screen,Itunes restores it and updated the software,now there is a picture showing to plug it in a wallsocket.Ok i did this as you need to power it via the charger to finish the firmware update or what ever it did....guess what i did plug it in and the wallcharger thingie pic is still there.

What do i do now.Its a 20gig ipod something.
What can i do now.I remember the hdd was perfect as i used it as a memory stick a hour before the restore through itunes.
Who does ipod repairs,anyone on the forum in capetown.

To fix a 20GB iPod, which I'm guessing is a 3rd of 4th Gen, will cost more than buying a new, 16GB iPod nano.

Logic says buy new iPod

Not really? Depends what part is busted, and even if its the LB, its only around 1k.....

the only problem i can see would be parts for older models....

What justifies spending R1k for an old 20GB iPod?
Who knows if it just R1k? It could be more, especially if it's a circuit problem or HDD problem.

For R1k, id fork out another R1k for a smaller, lighter, colour, video playing, picture viewing, album artwork showing iPod with longer battery life and Genius.

I have yet to plug it in a decent 12v supply,les see what happens first.

Yup... indeed... true.

20GB Ipod lost right channel... only left channel plays... repair quote R4000.00. Was told to take it or leave it.

I left it.

Check if it's still under warranty. I got mine replaced by apple when i had a similar issue.

I found a generic charger from soundtech for 70 bucks.Will try it out and maybe the firmware upgrade will succeed.
