Fawkes's health issues.

O-K...my ipod decided to come out of its coma! I'd plugged it in to charge, and when I unplugged it hours later, it refused to turn on or show anything on the screen or make a sound. For three days. Random button combinations (holding down two or three together--I don't remember which ones/how to reset it but it involved toggling the Hold switch a bunch of times and holding down a couple buttons for a while) did nothing, nor did plugging it in again. I tried things every day, and gave up and got my applecare stuff together to go to the store and tried one last time, and a low battery symbol appeared! I plugged it in again and it turned on! Since then it's worked, but also makes more "computing"ish/"trying to work"-type noises when accessing/skipping songs.

I've decided I need to use it much more so that if there's a problem it'll manifest (again) while the applecare's still good. Anyone else's ipod randomly "die" for a few days then be "ok" again?


Gah, so much to do. Shit!

My old iPod is intermittently in a coma. Says it has no battery when it's been plugged in all day, randomly shuts off right when it's turned on (because it thinks the battery is dead), won't play for very long, whatever. Bad fritzy battery.

So, I dunno if it's a similar problem to yours. I wish I had gotten it fixed when I still had applecare.

No. I keep hoping that someday mine will come back, but it doesn't.

:( Do you really keep trying with it?

:/
Mine hasn't been as senile as that--aside from the initial problems getting it going this was the first time it didn't work properly.
