    try letting the battery totally run out, basically forcing a "restart" when the iPod is plugged back in. Next, take to Apple store. Under warranty? Next, smash.

    I hope that's a joke and no one takes it seriously.



    The hold switch might be fixable even if it's not under warranty. Try to find someone that's willing to pop open the cover and try to clean out the switch. Destroying it would be a tragedy. The iPods have plenty of good parts, just a good hard drive is often worth $100 or more.



    I've even "fixed" one iPod with a seemingly dead hard drive by disconnecting re-seating the hard drive's connector, and I've seen comments on other boards that sometimes this fixes them.
