iPod classic
I have the same problem with an iPod video 5 gen purchased perhaps 10 years ago. Worked fine, used in wife's 2013 Subaru Forester, then one day nonfunctional. To make a long story short, putting parts into another functioning iPod identical model suggested bad ribbon cable but even with use of known good hard disk, good battery, and good ribbon cable, repeatedly gives 1429 error in iTunes. Device will not restart on Menu + Select and therefore will not go into Menu + Play disk mode, just displays dark Apple logo screen. I am about to sell as nonfunctional for parts. Would be interested if anybody has any other ideas.
Those troubleshooting steps are aimed at Windows users. Do you use Windows (not a Mac)? If so, which release?
If you have not already, put the iPod into Disk Mode

You may also want to shut down (power off) your computer and disconnect all USB devices. You can leave standard keyboard/mouse connected, if used. If your computer is a laptop, connect its power adapter (so it's not running on battery power). Start up computer, run iTunes, and connect iPod (in Disk Mode) to a direct USB port, by itself.
iTunes should prompt you to do a Restore, with a message about "recovery." Try doing a Restore this way.
