One of my co-workers said this happened to them also and told me to hold the menu button and center button down at the same time for a few seconds and that will "hard reset" it. It worked! But now I'm wondering how often that's supposed to happen, and does it mean something else might be wrong with it? Or is that just something it has to do every now and then? lol
I thought a "hard reset" was another term for taking a cold shower.
Seriously, the same thing's happened to both my old and new iPhones (only once each), and it freaked me out with my new one because it also had plenty of charge -- then it seemed completely dead. I got lucky the first time and figured out the hard reset method without instructions, because there were only so many things you could do with 2 buttons. Works like a charm!
If your iPod is locking up though, what kind of crap music are you sticking in there?
