iPod is acting weird.

I have an iPod first generation since last five years and it has been working fine till two days ago.I synced it.But after that I plugged in the earphone and experienced weird problems with my iPod.Some songs are fine while others sound like chipmunks and amplified music.I changed the earphones but it was still the same.Thought that the new songs might have some problem so deleted them and synced the ipod.Not once but FIVE times!!!I don't know what to do....there is no apple center near my house and i dont want to risk opening and cleaning up the ipod in fear of ruining it.And I am receiving death threats from my bigger brother because he thinks that I ruined the iPod!! PLz help and plz no useless answers...:(

Try:

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

- Unsync all music and resync

- Reset all settings

Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.

All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

- Restore from backup. See:

iOS: How to back up

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar

CAUTION

Before you restore the iPod make sure that your iTunes library has the version of apps that are presently installed on your iPod. Many apps have been update and the update apps are not compatible with the 1G iPod. I would do that by deleting the apps from your iTunes library and then transfer them to iTunes. See:

iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer

In iTunes 11 use Control+B to show the Menu bar then go to iTunes>File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
