iPod screen (pixel issues)
I have a 3rd gen, 40GB iPod, and it's about a year and a half old. Something strange happened the other day: when I turned my 'pod on (completely on, it had to go through the apple logo and such), a horizontal row of pixels were flashing on and off.
Now, I pride myself as being a problem solver, and I did fix the issue by restarting the iPod 2 or 3 times. I'm just wondering, does anybody know why it's doing this?

and if that doesnt work, then if you still have/got the extended warrenty, then you could always call apple up and see if they can fix it...
Just recharged it and all was well again.
In fact my Ti PowerBook's screen sometimes flickers in extreme low power situations.

hmm... could be the battery, always a possibility... could be from it just being age.. and if you dropped it (dunno if you did or not, just saying) might have caused it... usually its immediate you notice it though...
Probably a combination of battery/age. (Stock battery, nearing 2 years)
