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.

What happens when you attempt to restore using a computer?
Have a great day!
