I was following ifixit steps to check the functionality of the hold button (diagnostic). The hold button is working fine (0 and 1). But now my screen is stuck on HP Detect : 0. It says press menu to continue, but when I press menu nothing happens. I have also tried pressing menu twice and several other combinations...
Is this a good question?

just take out the headphones and press the menu button then BINGO!!!
Now it says 'Accessories Test'
FW_DETECT = 0
USB_DETECT = 1
Please plug FW
What's this mean????
Firewire (FW) connection vs USB connection:
Turn off hold button

If it's not continuing, it didn't pass the headphone (HP) test. Ipods have a little detector that stops the ipod if a headphone isn't detected; it'll pause the song if the headphone jack is removed.
You might want to disassemble it and replace the headphone jack. If that doesn't work, it's probably a bad board.

after plugging it in, unplug it, then it should continue

I got mine to go to the next stage by clicking the hold switch on and then off.

Now it's stuck on FW DETECT : 0
There's no Firewire to plug in, so I can't test this.

Hello there. I have tried out a solution you your little problem here which was posted by Chi. You see, (HP) is abbreviated for Headphones, which is dumb but oh well, and it worked when my Headphones were plugged in and then unplugged.
