Does the setting save once you change it? Have you tried a simple reset of the iPod to see if that would help? To do this, press and hold the
Center and
Menu buttons together until the Apple logo appears. Then re-attempt to change the backlight timer if necessary, and then test it out.
No, simply
resetting the iPod will not result in any data loss. It is just a simple troubleshooting solution, that may be able to help in your case. So, go ahead and give it a go.
If you were to
Restore the iPod via iTunes, then that's when you would lose everything on your iPod. 😉
