I have a Fifth Generation iPod Classic and the suggestion to hold center button and menu does not work. I get a message that says "www.apple.com/support/ipod". It tells me how to force a restart which doesn't work. Anyone know how to fix this?

iPod Classic
I've just had a look at the instructions on the page you came from (link at the top of this page), for the iPod Classic.
I seem to recall that one had to put the iPod's Hold switch on (locked), then off (unlocked) and then immediately press the Menu and Centre buttons for up to 8 seconds. So two points there, which are not mentioned in those instructions:
What are the symptoms that makes you want to re-start the iPod? The Classic has a hard drive inside it and if that has failed (as they do), you will probably not be able to restart it.
