My iPod Nano needs a new firmware and I saw an Apple Updater at iPod Updater 2006-01-10
while chatt5ing with Tech Support and we could not figure out how to resolve this issue.
The Problem:
It keeps flashing on and off and I can't access my music.
Thanks in advance
Try How To Get A 7th Generation ipod Nano Into Diagnostic Mode. Going in and out of diagnostic mode might help with your issue judging from some of the comments on the video. Otherwise rebooting while connected to USB using all four buttons might put it in DFU mode.

You have a mac? plug it in with a cable and restore. this might delete the music, but copy+paste it temporarily on your mac and then paste it back on to the ipod.
DFU Restore
If the device still won't restore normally try this method. Connect the device to the USB cable, press MENU+SELECT like a standard reset but keep holding for 12 seconds. The device should reboot as normal and then the screen should go blank. Now open iTunes and try to restore again.
Forget the iPod Updater. Let iTunes update the firmware with the current version online if it needs to.

The 7th gen iPod nano doesn't have a menu or select button
Well it's actually nearly impossible, I tried it with my 7th gen nano multiple times and it didn't work.
