Try troubleshooting your ipod to see if it will restart.

Toggle Hold on and off a few times, leave to off then hold down select and menu. Eventually you should see something going on if it worked.

Edit: jomal beat me too it

I hate when people post that
because theres always a better answer

when he unpluged your ipod im assumming it was when you where installing the bootloader otherwise nothing would have happened


try this for me
hold menu+center.
your ipod should reboot
after you reboot put hold on
If it Boots apple OS then that means your bootloader was successfully installed all you need to do is copy your .rockbox folder into there

If not you need to restore your origional bootloader
you can do this by wrighting any bin file to your ipod via ipodwizard

if you want original frimware you can get it here
Code:
http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/
select the one for you ipod
download it
change the file extension to .zip
extract the bin file using winzip
load it to your ipod
