I've reset my iPod but the Apple logo does not go away
I 've reset my iPod - the Apple logo has been displayed for over 10 minutes. Is this normal? Should I plug it back into iTunes?
iPod 5th Generation (Late 2006)
The iPod firmware is corrupted and you need to go into DiskMode and Restore the firmware.
