I'm a sobbing fucking mess over this little hunk of plastic and metal. I got an iPod Classic a few years ago after my original Nano was stolen during a break-in. After a brief accident today, it's stopped working. It was running fine right after, however. Now, it won't do anything but sit on the Apple logo, or go into disk mode. The piece isn't showing up in my iTunes, and the computer can't do a hard-reset.

I'm just sitting here, crying, after trying every one of the supposed 'fix' methods. I managed to get it up and running for 15 seconds, before it crashed again. I can't afford to buy another one, either.. But music is my driving force in life. Without it, I can't make it through my day.
