I never did that. - I gave the iPod to my daughter who has it attached to a Logitech Audiostation, so that it can be managed with the remote control of that device. Works like a charm.

Will play hooked to a different player but I still can't control which songs play. I would do the solder thing, but my Ipod reacts when I move the hold button so it does seem to be doing something.

I pulled the back off, then found that I didn't need to take anything else off, so I poke a screwdriver in and ripped the hold mechanism out, then shoved the fattest bit of tin-foil I could fit into the gap, and voila, it now works fie, but without the hold function. No need to remove the battery or undo any screws. I used the tin-foil method on mine!!

By reading the comments above, i guess i'll just buy some soldering iron to fix that hold button thing. It seems like it is the only solution. But i'm pretty sure some shops would repair it. Apple can repair it, but the price is so expensive you could buy a brand new nano.
