Ipod Touch Reset Problems

Hi.

Ipod Touch (3rd Gen I think) has been untouched for a couple of months since I got an iPhone 🙂.

Now trying to poer up and it won't. Can't do a reset either.

Press button to turn on and it shows the low battery symbol. Charged t it for 30 mins and plug it into PC and the iPod display shows the charing symbol then changes to the Apple symbol. This stays on for 20 - 30 secs and goes out. iPod does not show on iTunes. If I unplug the iPod and try to reset (home & power button) it just shows the low battery symbol again.

iPod worked perfectly before I stopped using it.

Any ideas ??

Thanks

Johnn

Not Charge

- See:

iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting

- Try another cable

- Try another charging source

- Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar

and

Try:

- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Hi.

Thanks for the info.

Went down the DFU route and itunes recognised the iPod.

Going through the software download now via iTunes.

Happy Days ! !🙂
