A1136 iPod Not working

Hi,

I have an A1136 Classic 30Gb iPod. First off, I know it's old, but we love it!

Several weeks ago, it stopped working properly. I can't get it to play tunes. When I try to reset by holding down the center & menu "buttons", after several attempts,I get a white screen with a sketch of an iPod and caution sign and underneath it gives me the Apple support web site. Of course, when I go to the site, I find out that Apple no longer supports the device.

Before I give up the ghost on this great device, can anyone suggest what I can to do to repair? Is there anyone who can help with this?

Very much appreciate help

Thank you very much
