OK, at my wits end! I've always hated Apple products. Bought by people scared of technology and getting their hands dirty.

So it's in DFU mode. Stuck in DFU mode. In fact I cant switch it off. If I attach it to a charger it switches on and won't charge because it is on. Hold the power button and off goes the screen for a few seconds and on it comes again.

So I plug it into the laptop and it runs through the process but every time the big apple and the update bar appear after a few seconds it switches itself off and the iTunes shows and unknown error (9).
Not that I'm pedantic but how can you give an unknown error a number? If you don't know what it is how do you know which number to give it!

Any other ideas? The pad just sits there in DFU mode, screen on until the battery is flat. Plug it into its charger and then the screen comes on after a few seconds and wont take a charge.
