Starting the iPod Diagnostic Mode[photopress:nano_1.jpg,full,alignright] <\/strong><\/p>\n

In order to access the inbuilt Diagnostic menu on the Nano, you need to press a combination of keys immediately after restarting it.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Toggle the Hold switch to Hold, the off again.<\/li>\n
  2. Press and hold Menu<\/strong> and Select<\/strong> (the centre button) for at least 6 secs, or until the Apple logo appears! – for iPod 1G to 3G press Menu <\/strong>and Play<\/strong> – hereafter referred to as the ‘Reset Method’<\/li>\n
  3. As soon as the Apple Logo appears, press and hold |<<<\/strong> and Select<\/strong> – For iPod 1G to 3G press |<<, >>| <\/strong>and Select<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Navigating the Diagnostic Menu<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Once you are in Diagnostic Mode, use the >>|<\/strong> and |<<<\/strong> buttons to navigate the menus. In most cases Menu<\/strong> will go back one menu, and Select<\/strong> will select the menu option. You can exit the menu at any time by selecting Power, Reset<\/strong><\/em> or by pressing Menu <\/strong>and Select<\/strong> (Menu <\/strong>and Play<\/strong> for 1G to 3G) to reset it.<\/p>\n
