Q: I have a iPod classic 80GB (2008) which no longer plays or connects to iTunes

My iPod worked faultlessly until recently when it suddenly began having difficulties connecting to iTunes and the wall charger. I managed to reset the iPod and it worked as usual for 2 days but then it decided to revert back to not working. When connected to the computer, the screen flickers with an Apple logo every 2 seconds but there is no other connectivity. Pressing the iPod central button and Menu together brings up the logo for a few seconds but makes no difference. I have changed connectors with no difference.

 

Now it is completely dead unless i connect it to a radio with an iPod dock. Then it works as normal and states it is fully charged! I can navigate the Menu and select songs. However, as I can't connect to iTunes I can't add any new songs and I can't take it anywhere with me.

 

It has been well taken care of since new and lives in a protected cover. What is wrong and How do I fix?
