Can any one help me with this issue. My IPOd nano (6th) has been giving my problems. When the screen goes from dim to dark the music stops playing, i tried pushing the cord into the headphone jack but I'm wondering if this is an hardwear issue, because I have reformated and refreshed the whole ipod a few times. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi, Had the same issue with my nano. I read some forms and it seems to be an issue with dirt, fuzz or stuff in the headphone jack. After reviewing a video on you tube, i used a needle to gently scrape/ clean the inside of my headphone jack. I did not get any fuzz out as shown in the video. Then is dipped the needle in minimal amount of isopropyl alcohol ( it contains water so don't go crazy- if little is good dont use alot). I also cleaned my headphone plug with isopropyl alcohol. AND.... my nano now works!!!. just make sure the headphones are inserted fully into the jack. Good Luck.
i should have said the port into which head phone jack goes:)
Also that i used the needle dipped in isopropyl alcohol to Gently clean the port.

my ipod had the same problem, it was not working for a couple months, i almost threw it away until i read this and gave it a try, it worked, i am a happy camper now, thank you!!
i would just like to add that nothing but little tiny pieces came out but after a few minutes of trying a big piece came out and then it worked
