did you try resetting it?
press the lock switch on then off, then hold play and the menu button together for a few seconds til it resets.
Otherwise, wait for the battery to drain then charge it.

There's a well documented bug in the latest ipod update, apparently apple are working on it.
The only thing that has worked for some people is to use the Disk Utility to reformat the iPod.
The only other thing to try is this:

If that doesn't work, they've been taking them back to the shop which in your case presents a bit of a problem

bet u feel the best now, i broke my ipod earlier this week, was upgrading the HD, and it gae me the stupid folder icon ,
this normally means you need a new HD.
after a couple of full hours playing about i finally got it up and running, one of the best days of my life. |
