What [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1814|light pattern] does the iPod show ?
since resetting isn't more than switching the shuffle off and after 5 seconds on - i won't get deeper into that point. maybe you should [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1481|restore] it with itunes. it's always problematic to tell something on a device that isn't capable of showing anything more than a light pattern. ah and by the way - the colored texts are links, you can click on them
