When machines go bad

Custard was acting up today. First, she wasn't going to play through my iTrip to the truck radio. Then, she did a complete seize up. Clicking any or all of the buttons didn't do anything, it didn't appear to be charging when I plugged it into the Firewire cable, and iTunes didn't pick up that an iPod was plugged in through my USB connection.

Here are the steps for a lockup reset when your iPod freezes. In short, cycle the hold switch (for those of you have iPod's with functioning hold switches) then press and hold both the Menu and selection buttons until your iPod resets. This is information that I didn't know before, but am very happy to know now (and to have work for Custard).
