Quit with the negative waves, man.
No, it's not an std...
I pretty much thought my trust iPod had given up the ghost. Wouldn't boot up, HD was making clicking noises, iTunes wouldn't load it up, diagnostics came back all n/a. All indications were the HD was toast.
Searched the web for replacements, and found they are available around $110 for the series 4 20GB HD.
As I was reading through the posts on the installation site, someone suggested holding the machine firmly in the left hand, click wheel side up. With open palm, firmly bring your right hand down, thusly applying a firm smack. With great trepidation, I gave it a shot. Literally.
It worked like a charm. Machine booted right up. Works like new.
So, should you find your iPod Tango Uniform, give it the applause it deserves. I have since come to find out this is standard first echelon repair practice at the iPod service centers, only they charge you $200 for it.
