Use the Five Rs to restore the iPod. You will lose the data that is currently on it if you restore but you can always re-sync the data to the iPod.

<p>When you buy an iPod, the device comes with cables that
connect the charging device to the computer. When the iPod battery is low, you
can recharge by plugging into your desktop or laptop. But sometimes, when you
connect your iPod to your computer, the battery charger. According to Apple's
site, some problems may prevent your iPod from charging properly. <br />
<p><br />
<p>1. Connect your iPod USB charging cable only one USB port on
the computer itself. External port devices, such as a USB hub, do not provide
enough power to recharge your iPod. <br />
<p><br />
<p>2. Connect the iPod firewire charging only one firewire port
on your computer. Like USB, Firewire ports are not enough of a load to the
battery of your iPod. <br />
<p><br />
<p>3. Disconnect the computer from sleep when the computer set
to sleep after a certain time. An iPod can only load on a computer that is
connected and not in sleep mode. To enable sleep mode on most computers, you
can move the mouse or press the power button once. Hold the power button, which
usually turns off the computer. <br />
<p><br />
<p>4. Turn the iPod off and on when the unit is frozen. A
frozen iPod is not charging. If the unit is still frozen when you turn it on
again, restart the iPod by pressing the "Hold" switch to
"On" and then back to "Off" and press and hold a
"Menu" and "Select" buttons simultaneously or " Start
"and" Menu "button. Hold the buttons until the Apple logo
appears on the screen. <br />
<p><br />
<p>5. Set the system up-to-iPod charger so that when using a
Windows 2000 computer. In preparation for the system to load the iPod device to
the unit with the charging cable, launch iTunes and "iPod" in the
left pane to "Settings" tab to go, check the box next to "Enable
Disk use", and click the "Apply" button. Once the configuration is in
place, the iPod will charge as normal. <br />
You should try to reset the firmware by pressing on the menu button and the enter(center) button at the same time for couple seconds until the apple appears on the screen
reconnect your ipod and with itunes try for any firmware updates
once it's done disconnect your ipod with itunes and after that with the windows option in the taskbar.
Good luck
Have you already attempted to force the iPod into disc mode before connecting the iPod to your computer? If not I would recommend doing now. If you can get the iPod to connect to your computer at this point you will want to restore it using the latest version of iTunes.
Toggle the Hold switch on and off.
(Set it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons for at least 6 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
When the Apple logo appears, release the Menu and Select buttons and immediately press and hold the Select and the Play/Pause buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.
Connect the iPod to your computer; the screen on the iPod will change and say "Do not disconnect"
If you are having difficulty putting the iPod model into disk mode, set it on a flat surface. Make sure that the finger pressing the Select button is not touching the Click Wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Play/Pause button toward the outside of the Click Wheel and not near the center.
If you are still unable to put your iPod with a Click Wheel into Disk Mode, use one finger from one hand to press the Select button, and one finger from the other hand to press the Play/Pause button.
What you have to do is connect the IPod to your computer and open up ITunes.
Click on your IPod icon then click on RESTORE IPod.
If the IPod does not connect or keep connection then hold down Menu and the center (click) button for about 5-15 seconds til it reboots.
If it doesn't respond at first keep trying.
My wife had one doing that for over a year and could not Restore it on her PC til she gave it to me and after about an hour on my Mac it finally Restored and it's been good since then.
If you can try it on a Mac, you might loose all your music , but it will be Alive again for free.
Good Luck and be Patient.
Try resetting the ipod while its connected to the computer by holding both the menu and center button at the same time for 6-10 seconds until you see an apple appear on the screen. You may need to repeat the reset. If this fails your looking at a hardware issue most likely. Good Luck.
Try doing this: Toggle the hold switch and put it back in the off position. Then press and hold the center button and the menu button simultaneously for ten seconds and the apple symbol should come up on the screen. Then it should work like normal. Hope this helps!
If your screen is black it may be frozen. If so, hold the menu button and the center button below it at the same time. If, this still doesnt work try connecting your iPod to a computer then disconnecting it. Also make sure the battery is charged.
You need to reset your ipod. Flip the hold switch on then off, then press select button and menu button at same time. Hold for 10 seconds or so. Ipod should shut off and reboot to apple screen. If this doesn't work first time try again. This should solve any stuck screen problems. Mine was stuck on pioneer screen and this operation fixed it.
