Lock sign on device does not go away even though "hold" switch is off

The screen of my iPod (5th Gen 80GB late 2006 model) is frozen. The lock sign is permanently displayed even though the 'HOLD' switch is off. I have tried to reboot, but the wheel does not respond. I even did a restore but even that didnt work.

Can someone help, please?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

If it is, replace the headphone jack/ hold switch. Use this guide for that.
