Ipod touch fully drained now wont turn on? please help
So today i woke up and saw my ipod touch had 10%battery left. i let it keep playing and the battery fully drained, since it was morning i had to go somewhere so i left it without connecting it to my usb. when i got back home and i connected it to my usb nothing happened the screen did not turn on to show the charge level, still i feel the ipod geting warm when its connected so that means its charhing right? so do i have to wait till its fully charged so i can see the screen?
Hold down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the slider to turn it off and wait for the Apple logo then let go. You might have to try this a few times before it revives.
Well so far nothing yet, and unfortunately i dont have a wall charger. Is there a certain amount of time i should be holding the two buttons, and in about how many tries should it come back to life (ipod)
First off, make sure you let it charge for at least 30 minutes and that the computer did not go to sleep during that time.
Should be about 6 - 10 seconds before the off slider appears. I'd give it at least 6 or 7 tries, but again, make sure it has at least 30 minutes of continuous power and an hour might even be better in your case. I'd also invest in a wall charger.
Well i did give it sometime to charge when i got home but ill take your advice and give it 30 or an hour to charge. After that ill retry the hard reset and see if it worked then. Yes true i should invest in a wall charger I often find myselfot near a usb hub to charge my Ipod touch and I dont like being kept from listening to my music.
Hi appleuser2718.... I am curious, is your ipod touch working now? My ipod has done the same thing. I hadn't used it in awhile & i turned it on and there was 10% of battery remaining. I plugged it into my usb for about 2 hours & if didn't charge. The charging icon popped up on my screen though unlike yours, than it disappeared and won't turn on. I tried my wall charger, my car charger and my docking station. I'm just wondering if this may be a common occurence with the ipod touch. Good luck anyways, I'm gonna keep trying everything for mine.
Unfortunately no mine hasnt turned on yet. I actually let mine die completely and so far i havnt been able to get the screen to turn on. so far when i connect it it just warms up so that means its charging but i tried the hard reset and it wont turn on, hopefully i just need to keep trying the hard reset.
So does yours show up on your Computer?
Yep i forgot to give that bit of info, and i was afraid itd come to that. So about how much would it cost to get it serviced?, (i dont have warranty) oh and could i get it serviced at a local best buy?
Oh yes! I barely found out it had a one year warranty. Well i did some research yesterday and decided im goign to take it to the apple store in san francisco. Do you think theyll give me a free replacement?
