does anyone remember the key combination to reset one of the 1st models of the ipod video? damn thing won't shut off.

Ummmmm.... How about toggling the hold switch on and off, and then holding the Menu and Select (center) buttons for 6-10 seconds?

It took me not much more than that 6-10 seconds to find that information (to confirm that there's not something different about the 1G video iPods) on Apple's support site...

No it didn't, and maybe my post was harsh. But lots of people just forget that Apple has all this sort of basic stuff waiting for them. So I sort of used your post as an example, and I'm sorry it came across as a negative post.
