[QUOTE="Flaps45, post: 96957"] OK guys I'm a little desperate here, I own a 3rd gen. 40gb Ipod. About a month ago I left it on my jacket's pocket at my brother's house, went on vacation and when I went back to pick it up and turned it on the iPod makes a really loud noise, similar to the one of a hard drive in distress, never heard my iPod sound like this before, on top of that, won't play or find any songs, sometimes I get lucky and after trying will eventually play one song and then when the song is over will keep skiping songs again while this funky sound keeps on coming out from the inside, sometimes will just give up and freeze on me. Two days ago after reading forums I decided to try and reset the settings from factory and format the thing using the iPod updater but when is about 50% done stops and then a message saying "Unable to write on media" appears. My warranty is expired and never had any problemns with my iPod before. I suspect that the hard drive is toasted, do you guys agree????. If this is the case any word on where to buy a replacement hard drive?. Thanks a lot for all the help and input you guys can provide. [/QUOTE]
