I have an Apple Nano 2GB black classic (silver back and sides with black front and square edges). The screen just started partially blanking out - not black but no image through the lower 2/3rds of the screen - about a 1/4" swath.

Just reset the 8GB nano by holding the center and menu buttons at the same time for about 6 seconds. It usually works for me with my iPod classic 120GB.

You can follow this link it will give the details of ipod screen lock http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1350

It probably hangs on you, right? I get that problem on my silver 3rd gen nano when i jog. What i do is press the menu button and the middle circle button at the same time, and it'll restart the whole thing. Make sure you unlock it (bottom next to charger port, make sure it's white, not red) first. You'll see the apple screen as it starts back up and it'll go to the main menu. I run a lot so maybe it got jarred or something on mine. I hope that's all it is, or it might be a static problem. That I'm not helpful with. :| Good luck.

OH and it won't delete your songs so no worries on that.

please help me my apple ipod same 1gb black is driver recomedtion please send his correct driver

Reboot your Ipod by holding down on the center button while holding down on the menu button.

This should reboot your IPod.

If that doesn't work plug your Ipod into Itunes and restore your software back to factory settings. Make sure that battery if fully charged as well.

Greetings,
There is no way to update your old Nano to play video. There is no video processing chip, and the screen is not of a high enough resolution. My second generation ipod with a black and white screen also shows the option for music videos, its just due to the iTunes software.
Take Care

more info will be helpful,

or frozen?

If your iPod nano is not responding, try to manually reset it. The instructions are in the manual; but I have typed them below for your reference: Slide the Hold switch to HOLD and back again. Then press the Menu and Center buttons at the same time for about 6 Seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Hope this fixes your problem.
