Ipod Nano 3rd Generation Locked Up Apple Logo Flashes NEED HELP FIXING!

My ipod nano (3rd generation) keeps flashing the apple logo on, then off every 10 seconds or so. It has locked up once before and I was able to press the center and menu buttons together and that fixed it. This doesn't seem to work anymore. I've connected it to 3 different computers, but none of them will read it. I've let the battery run out, then I get the recharge battery message...again, when I plug it in to any usb to recharge, the computers do not read the ipod. Has anyone else had this happen, and does anyone know of a fix for this?

hold in play and menu till it resets like in the video then hold in play and rewind it will take you to the diagnostics menu and you can reset it properly from there

@neillpaddy Thanks. I did that, and got the diagnostics screen, hit reset, but it still wouldn't do anything. HOWEVER, just goofing around, I pressed menu and the power button together. After about 10 seconds I got another screen asking me to recharge. I plugged it into my macbook and it FINALLY was able to read it. I restored it, and all is working again!!!!! THANKS!

mine is doing the same thing, did you ever get it fixed?

[bpadar]

Still haven't been able to get it fixed/figured out. Hopefully someone will figure it out soon though.

I just fixed mine....

Plug it in to a computer...

hold the center button and menu at the same time...

the screen will go blank and come back on...

keep holding the center and menu...

It will then connect to iTunes and you will have to restore it.

Hope this helps.

To fix put in disk mode when the screen turns blank before the apple logo comes press pause then plug in your iPod to your computer and restore it. Note: restore plugin and restore when on disk mode
