Turn on the iPod. Hold the iPod to your ear with one hand and listen for the clicking sounds that indicate the hard drive is out of alignment. Take the iPod away from your ear.
Hold the iPod in one hand and open the palm of your other hand. Quickly smack the narrow side of the iPod against the palm of your other hand.
Wait a few seconds and smack the iPod again. Repeat this procedure four more times. If the clicking stops after one of the times that you smack the iPod, do not smack the iPod again and instead go on to the next step.
The types of iPods are numerous, but the ones that hold the most songs have a hard drive inside them. The hard drive has moving parts, which can get out of alignment if the iPod is dropped or violently shaken. This causes the hard drive to make noise, display a sad iPod picture and fail to turn on. Fixing the hard drive will protect your investment, save time and money and let you use your iPod again.
