You've all probably got sick of these posts but I'll explain anyway. I was pwning the ipod on vista with winpwn and it was in the middle of the writing on my ipod screen and my laptop crashed. Now I can't switch it on or charge it. It isn't recognised by anything. Have I completely broke it? Thanks for the help! **EDIT - I only got the ipod 3 days ago
hold the home bottom and wake/sleep bottom together till ipod logo appear. the release wake/sleep bottom with home pressed. in about 20 seconds you can find your ipod in recover mode. then restore to normal and rejail break. (search and you;ll find lot of about put ipod to recovery mode or DFU mode)
IF it again doesen't work, try using another program to jailbreak your iPod. (I used iLiberty+ with Mac OS X and everything works perfectly)
this just happened to me to. it doesnt go into recovery mode....when he says nothing responds hes saying the truth. trust me. ive put my ipod in recovery mode with wake sleep and with ziphone dozens of times but my ipod wont do anything. it doesnt even charge when i plug it in
i think its the fact that your laptop crashed right in the middle of the process that it kinda screwed up your ipod. just try to restore and tell us how it goes. or the other suggestions given.
