3rd Gen. Ipod not working

I have a third generation iPod classic that I am trying to resurrect. It seems to be searching for a file and keeps restarting. When I push and hold the Menu and centre button, I get an Apple support message. Any ideas how to get this going?

It seems like all of the starting data has been wiped clean.
