Usually when I boot me up, it gives me a screen like this except that it tells me to update firmware. It hangs like this and gets warm and stuff. When I plug it in, this message appears.
It's several years old, of course, but it has really amazing sound and I'd like to keep it until I got my Clip+.
I don't know what else to post, but if you want more info just ask and I'll fill in the blanks.
