To reset iPod mini, iPod mini (Second Generation), iPod photo, and iPod (Click Wheel)
Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
Tip: If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
[note: this is the tip that got it unfrozen for me]
If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep.

Mate have you tried the Ipod Slap if its stuck... Im not joking.
I had one that kept displaying the sick Ipod symbol... looked the problem up on internerd and advised the following;
Turn Ipod over so silver bit is facing you
Raise hand and slap ipod
It has worked fine ever since.
Apparently the hard drive head can become misaligned and by slapping it puts it back in the right position...
