Have I irrevocably fried my iPod?

…or have I just burnt out a replaceable part?

I docked my 3rd gen iPod into a powered-on speaker device designed for 4th gen iPods and it is now totally inert. No response when connected to my Mac or my Bose SoundDock, and resetting procedures yield nothing.

Any help/suggestions appreciated.

try first aid under app/utilities/diskutilities/repair disk

or you can Erase reformat to MS-DOS fat or Mac it and reinstall the software from hear. think about it first though.

Greenman: Just wanted to thank you for your response concerning my iPod. I had given up on my 3rd Gen after trying suggestions much like yours and getting nowhere. Turned it in to a local Mac shop who, I think, said it was fried. I was gifted a new 80GB "Classic" 21 months ago and haven't had any problems with it.

Thanks again!
