Q: 7th gen. Nano screen constantly flashes between on and off
The screen on my 7th gen. iPod Nano constantly flicks between total blackness, which I assume is "off," and the apple logo screen that you see when you turn your iPod on. It's like it can neither completely turn on or off. By pushing a few button combinations as recommended in other threads and connecting it to my computer, I was able to restore the factory settings...twice. It doesn't seem to have made any difference. After a reset, though, I get a message saying it's going to restart my iPod, but all that happens is that the flashing starts up again and the the device disappears from my iTunes page, as if it's lost contact with the computer, and we're back to square one. However, during one of the periods when a reset was going on and the iPod registered with iTunes, I was able to find out the version of iTunes it has (or had, before resets) is up to date and the battery seems to be fully charged.
Any ideas? I can handle losing data as it's all duplicates of what's on my iMac, anyway, but I would like to play some music!
