Reply » Report Abuse Judge it! Phyliciamaiden Las Vegas, NV #190 Oct 4, 2010 My ipod also has the red x on the screen when plugged into a wall adapter. When I plug it into my computer via usb cord it says "charging! please wait" but i left it to "charge" for 3 days and when i unhook it, the screen is black. So I plug it into my wall adapter and i press the menu and center button then the apple logo comes on then i push the center and the prev button before the apple goes away. Then my ipod goes into this testing mode and there is a page named "holdswitch detect=1" wait for Hold Key on Menu to continue. It is stuck on that how do i get it to work? Please help!

Ipod classic 6th generation 160gb I assumed my hard drive died, so I purchased a new hard drive. I followed the guide on here and after putting http://www.topix.com/forum/gadgets/ipod/T1RBA1SD8AS3BFJFD/p10 everything back together, the red X appears. The ipod will not go into disk mode. When I run a test on the hard drive in diagnostic mode, it says "error diag halt." The hard drive does not make any sounds when the ipod turns on. I connected the old hard drive and it doesn't make any sounds either. Is it possible that I damaged the hard drive cable?

Its hard to tell, if its the cable or logic board. But as the cable is not that expensive, i would give it a try and buy a new cable. Good Luck! Was this answer helpful?

I've tried to reset it (Holding down Menu and Select button, then holding down the play/pause button and select button) but it just continued on to the red X. That doesn't work at all. I've tried to set it into disc mode but that doesn't work either.

The OS will automatically be on there. If not, it'll download automatically through iTunes. The same case happens if the replacement hard drive has an older version of the firmware. share|improve this answer answered Jul 22 '15 at 2:21 DDPWNAGE 2211211 add a comment| Your Answer draft saved draft discarded Sign up or log in Sign up using Google Sign up using Facebook Sign up using Email and Password Post as a guest Name Email Post as a guest Name Email discard By posting your answer, you agree to the privacy policy and terms of service.
