Shooter Grrl Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Hey guys, I'm having serious issues with my ipod and hopefully someone here can help me fix it The battery is dead, but won't charge and none of my computers recognize it when I plug it into the usb port. I left it plugged in at home and overnight and it didn't take the charge. Anyone have ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Cheely Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Did you try charging it with the wall charger? I had a problem with my previous Ipod and that fixed it. I've also had to plug it in after updating the firmware... I hate to be without my music (no stereo in the car). Hope you get it fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRe Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Have you tried resetting it??? Here's a couple of (seemingly) useful pages on the Apple support site: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61705 (reset) http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60942 (troubleshooting one that won't turn on) http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/ (service request) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you get it fixed Try surviving a 4.5 hour flight without it Dave - I did try all of that - I do not have a wall charger - the 5gens only come with the USB cables.

XRe Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Unfortunately, sounds like it has to go back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 If it won't accept a charge and the computer won't recognise it then the only common denominators are the interface on the iPod or the cable itself. Are you able to try a different cable ? If that does not work then the interface may be the problem. In which case it will need to go back for repair.

Thomas Moore Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 your contacts could be worn on either the cable or the port. do you have another port to try as well as another cable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooter Grrl Posted July 5, 2006 Author Share Posted July 5, 2006 We do have 2 cables, I tried both. I also tried 3 different ports on my main computer and took it to work this morning and that one didn't recognize it either. I'm going to try updating all the software and see what that does. The good news is - I used my AmEx to pay for it so I have it covered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
