iPod Touch 1st gen inoperate

Hi,

I find out my old iPod Touch 1st gen but it's not working anymore.

I tried to connect it to my mac with iTunes but it can't launch it too. Message error number 1600 or 1403 so i can't restore the iOS through iTunes. Furthermore, the iPod Touch display lots of lines and flash on the screen.

How can I restore the iOS ?

Thanks Illaass !

I followed trouble shooting solution number 1604 and I finally successed to recognize by iTunes my iPod Touch and download the iOS.

For others, the method is the following:

Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for error 1604.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.

The iOS is correctly downloaded on my mac and iTunes ask me to restore my iPod. I launched the restoration and went through all the process (initializing, instalation, verification) but I always got the same message error number 6.

I checked the help page. Therefore I tryed the following solution but no result:

- change USB port (I have no other USB device connected),

- reload iTunes (I have the lastest version),

- disabled iantivirus,

- try to restore the iPod with no internet conection (totally impossible).

What should I do ?

note: during the restoration process, the iPod screen showed a lot of flash and colored lines.
