Kalshane, it may be like What's-His-Face (Will, from Will and Grace) being in a BNL video, just briefly, because he's a fan of the group.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Anyone here use TiVo in conjunction with cable's On Demand? How do you work it?
I've recorded On Demand stuff by putting the Tivo on Ch 1 and manually recording whatever I Demand. I don't know of a way to program it, but I've set it up and then gone to bed or out.
Havin recorded FF and REW sho up through the Tivo is weird.
I think FAQWife's iPod has died. A few months ago, it started freezing up periodically, which a reboot would cure. More recently, it would only start up if it was plugged in to the computer. Now it won't start up at all. I thought that maybe that battery had died, but I brought it in to the genius bar today and the "genius" said that if it was just the battery, it would still start up when plugged in.
So -- any suggestions? The "genius" said a repair by Apple would cost $280. Should we just spring for a new one? It's not even 2 years old!
I'm afraid that would be my only suggestion.
If it's out of warranty, I think you're pretty much resigned to buying a new one. A friend of mine went through 2 iPods in Iraq. The first he was able to ship back to Apple and get replaced for free because it was still under warranty. The second was considered to be under the warranty of the first one, so by the time it died they wanted some exorbitant amount of money to fix it, so he had to wait until he got back to the States and buy a new one.
So -- any suggestions?
Did you or the Apple guy try restoring it with the software updater?

Can't restore it if it won't power up, right? It isn't recognized when I attach it to my or FAQWife's PC. I tried a couple of different cables too.
Did anyone try the magic key combination that forces it into disk mode? Sometimes that will work even if it can't boot all the way into being a music player.
I'd expect the genius would have tried that, but you never know.
Jon,
you are sure the other cords are working? I got a bad power cord from Apple. Couldn't ever exchange it.
