Q: Using 30-pin Non-Apple Charger with iPT 4???

Hello, so long story short all of my Apple chargers have torn and no longer charge. I have an alarm clock charging dock and another third-party charger. I tested both with my father's iPT 2, but none of them charge my iPT 4. Is there any workaround that I can use to charge it? Thanks!

iPod touch, iOS 6.1.6, 4th generation

A:

- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic. From your description it seems you have a hardware problem with your iPod. Likely the dock connector but could be something else

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

    Well, yesterday I just got an old iPhone 3G portable charger and it works- when the iPod is completely off. I'm considering just getting something newer; after all, I believe the 4 came out in September 2010. Thanks anyway!
