was constant apple logo.. now dead?

10 gb first gen

my ipod was first havingi a problem where if wouold freeze when i selected anything.. so i decieded to restore my ipod..

i did that normaly.. until the time where it said to disconnect then get the firewire cord on the screen to reconnect..

when i recconected it never reconized the ipod...

so i decieded to hold down menu and play to try to reset that way.. then hung on the apple logo...

so i forced into firewire mode.. then ran the update again.. same thing.. but after that i pluged into the AC adapter.. then the apple logo was on and the status bar up reflashing firmware was on too.. then it hung there till it turned off..

now it is completely dead.. it is pluged into the ac adapter and now i can't even get the apple logo.. and no responce when pluged into the my pc

If you can't get it to restore something is definitely wrong with it. Since the firmware can't finish the install it's not in good shape. The only thing I would tell you to try would be another restore, but it sounds like you've done that.

Might want to let it sit for 24 hours. Believe it or not, I've seen that fix things.

No, let is sit unplugged. You don't want it to be connected to any power source. You're hoping for the battery to die down...

i was assuming it was already died down if it wouldn't turn on
