I have a 3rdG ipod 15GB; all of a sudden it stopped working. I get the folder error message and the battery gets hot when I try to charge it. I changed the battery to a new one; it didn't make a difference. Does anybody know what's wrong or how to fix this problem?
sounds like the charger may be bad or the wrong one.
Folder icon is a bad sign.. You should download the ipod updater from apple.com and see if you can do a restore on your ipod. I hate to say it but odds are your hard drive has died and the only way to fix that is to get another hdd.
