Thing is, since 2 days ago, all of the USB ports seem to have packed up for some reason.
I plug in an external HDD (the one with all my itunes library & moozik on & get a "not recognised" message.
If I re-start, I can get the thing to show for a few minutes & then "boof" gone
![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)
I tried synching my pod the that evening & it won't turn off now.
OS is XP pro sp2 & I have been all over the MS site for support or updates & the thing's still shagged.
Anyone got any bright ideas other than throw the lappy off the balcony?
