iPod Reset Utility now supports 2nd gen Shuffles

I've had a dead 1.gen laying around for months, but I never knew there was a utility to fix it. Gotta get home fast now and check this out!

Hey, great job with losing the links, TUAW! (grrr...)

Here are those references:

Hey ella - Looks like you may have a hardware issue at work, as described at the "iPod displays a sad iPod icon" page. You can try to restore the mini via iTunes, but if that doesn't work, it appears you'll need to set up a service request

BTW: If anyone has problems with their iPod, start at the iPod service page, to find solutions or next steps to be taken.

is there one of these for regular ipods? my mini has been making little sad ipod faces at me since that one fateful night I charged it by plugging it into the wall socket a couple of months ago.

Wow, it worked! My stalled Shuffle (the "Wrigley's" model) is back on road! Thank you!

Jonathan: Blogetic license. You may call them whatever you like, but I can't help thinking of sticks of gum when I see 1st gen shuffles.

Since when did shuffles get these corny nicknames?
