If you??™re getting the sad face, check your warranty before you do anything else.
You should try to get your iPod serviced or replaced under warranty whenever
possible. Keep in mind that your warranty won??™t cover you if Apple determines
that you abused your iPod, which is as good a reason as any to treat your
property with care.
If your iPod is still under warranty, go with that option. If your warranty has
expired, or if you voided the warranty yourself by abusing your iPod, read on.
First, bring up the diagnostic menu as described in ???Use the Diagnostic Menu???
earlier in this chapter. Scroll down to the HDD Scan option and press the Select
button to select it. The iPod scans the hard drive, which can take a while to finish.
When the scan is complete, your iPod returns either HDD Scan Pass or HDD
Scan Fail. A failing grade here means that the hard drive is most likely the
source of the problem. The good news is that this is something you can fix
yourself.
