iPod going nuts.
hi, im on my second iPod, and like the first one, its starting to go bonkers like the first did sort of, here's the symptoms in this one.
iPod will randomly reset itself, putting date to january 1st and time to midnight.
iPod makes a louder then normal buzzing noise when i first start using it, or use it after a long time
iPod will reset itself when i turn on the backlight, then select a song.
does all this behavior warrent that i should send it back in to be replaced as my one year warrenty will be up soon(april 28th). or is there anyway to solve all this random resetting and such, im just confused and getting quite agrivated with this. my 5 year old powermac g3 is holding up better than my iPod which is less than a year old.

Another thing I've heard that tends to help is running Disk Utility on the iPod and selecting repair. This is not something I have done, so I can't vouch for it's effectiveness.
If it's broken or not working correctly, and you've tried the usual raft of troubleshooting fixes, and it's still under warrantee, send it in.

Y2K, 4 years late, sorta like longhorn...was M$ behinde Y2K too?
My 2G will sometimes reset or crash if the remote is not plugged in the whole way. I haven't used my remote in a long while, but I remember it used to do that. That could also cause buzzing, I would suspect. So make sure you plug the remote the whole way. If you don't use the remote, I suggest you do what the other folks are saying and get it fixed.
