does the hard reset work?

press and hold the menu and the select button until the ipod restarts - this should take around 6-10 seconds.

i kow that sounds stupid - but many faulty ipod click wheels are still able to reset the ipod.

but to be honest, i had a few ipods with this issue - if they were able to reset - the ipod was faulty -and if they didn't do the reset - most likely the click wheel was faulty and needed to be replaced.

so, if the reset works - it's not a click wheel issue - if not - it is! (most likely - that depends on a few other things - like droppings, fluid damages and so on)
