I just found my old 3rd gen iPod and wanted to use it again.
I have the dreadful apple logo and folder with exclamation mark flashing after pluging it in the firewire charger.
I tried the diagnostic mode, and it doesn't seem to pass the HDD scan, I launched it and it stayed all lit up with just HDD scan on the screen for a while and started heating up. It's been 30 min and the test isn't over yet... but I remember when I stopped using my ipod 4 years ago I had issues with the battery.
Prior to the hdd scan I ran the A 2 D test for the battery but never got this type of reply which I found online when looking for the diagnostic mode. my ipod was charging during the test.

Do you have any ideas what the issue could be?
I'd like it to work again but I am ready to replace one component so do you think the issue is battery related or the hdd?
