Default Toasted IPOD - Coincidence??

Last week I completed the installation of my DNX5120 into my 96CE. Everything worked great! These devices are so cool. I left my IPOD connected (via the proper cable) all week, but did not use it. I installed my backup camera today and I programmed a new start-up screen requiring several on/off cycles until I got it right. My IPOD will not work and neither the DNX5120 nor my computer will recognize it when I plug it in. Coincidence...or did I do something bonehead? The IPOD is about 3 years old and was rarely used before now, so the battery would drain down often. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Well, I just kept messing with it and it started up. Don't know why or what happened. The battery wasn't low enough to shut it down. Just glad it's back. Saved some money.

I used to have an ipod interface with my 06 tahoe and that happened on a regular basis if I left the iPod connected when I shut the vehicle off. I would then have use the reset feature of the iPod to get it going again. Never figured out why though. Sounds familiar.
