iPod Nano dead?
glitch
12-08-2006
hi

im on holiday at the moment and wondering if you can help me with my relatively new ipod nano. it is unresponsive, wont turn on and when i plug it in to the mains, it has a funny whirring sound coming from it in, this only happens when it is plugged in. Restarting doesnt work or do anything! cannot restore as i am travelling.

any words of wisdom? ASAP! I NEED MY MUSIC!

Well when you get home if you still have the receipt take it back.

As longs as it's within the guarantee.

You'll get a new one.

Turn the hold switch on, then off.

Press and hold Menu and Centre for 10 seconds, or until the Apple logo appears on screen.

Im a little confused by the whirring sound you describe. The ipod nano is flash memory based, it doesnt have a hard drive, meaning: its got no moving parts.

Its possible that its crashed in a way that is causing its internal speaker to produce this noise, inwhich case rebooting in the process that Telly_Man described should solve it.. or waiting for the battery to drain out, then charging it again.

If that doesnt work, its unlikely a restore will either, just get it replaced. Apple provide a 12 month warrenty.
