So I just found my old iPod in my cousin's boat (it was in the ice chest). Thought it still works, but whether I plug it in to the wall charger, onto my dock, or my computers, it'll stay on that screen. But somehow when I went to WalMart the other day and put it on one of the docking station, it turned on! Can someone help me with this problem ?
iPod classic, I forgot the OS Version :P, 80G
Leave it charging for at least 2 hours, as the screen would be alive after 30 minutes of charging.
Then Reset it
Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs
Send it in to Apple Store for a battery replacement, if it is under warranty or to 3rd Party service centre, there nothing we can suggest here to rejuvenate the dead battery.
If you dont have the battery replaced, it may leak and the battery liquid will damage the iPod circuitry, if it hasn't done so yet.
It's been charging for at least 16 hours 😟
Update : I found a wall charger that turns on the iPod, but as soon as I disconnect the cable, it turns off. I know the battery is shot but somehow the backlight isn't working. That wall charger is the only thing that turns on the iPod, nothing else will. The version of the iPod is 1.1.2.
My iPod Classic stays on "Charging, please wait..." mode :(
