There is no telling what exactly went wrong, but it sure is fun seeing how they cram the guts in such tiny spaces. ;-) Sarah spent the afternoon doing an “autopsy” on her iPod.

Those hard drives are tiny and I dont think you can buy them through normal channels. If you cant force it into disk mode, maybe the hard drive decided to quit working?

The screen is grayed out and when a reset is done you can see a partial apple logo, and then it goes to a pixellated and splotchy picture of a sick iPod. I can't force it into disk mode...so based on the <a href="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61771" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">info at Apple</a>, it looks to be a hardware issue.

I thought you could get it replace by Apple for something like $59. I also seen replacement batteries on the net. If its the battery maybe its fixable. Unless its another issue all together.
