Just got a 30gb black ipod video about 3 weeks ago it was fine and played videos then i tried it today and none of the videos would work it would go to a black screen and just stay there
Yeah, get the iPod updater from here, then when your iPod is plugged in select restore. This will restore it to factory settings. Then just copy all of your music over again and it should work. If it still doesn't then maybe you've damaged the video decoding chip in it.
