iPod 5th Video battery charging problem

Flag Reply by Fenrir Jun 26 @ 2:39 PM

Hi,

First of all, Ie would like to thank the team for all the work they've accomplished.

Now let's talk shop:

I had to open my iPod in order to change the headphone jack and hold switch part, therefore I had to disconnect the battery (it does not seem to me that I made some damage either to the battery nor to the orange ruber band connecting part).

However since I made this reparation, I have encountered the following problem:

the iPod can't be charged by using either the usual electrical adaptater nor my Bose speakers, but it can be charged by connecting the iPod to my computer.

The weird thing is that the Bose speakers won't charge the iPod, but I can still use the Bose speakers in order to listen some music.

Ergo, the questions are:

Could the logic board be damaged (it seems however that there is no physical damage)?

or could it be the battery or the part of the iPod used to connect it that may be damaged ?

By advance, thanks to answering my post.

Well the Logic Board may be damaged because sometimes you can connect the ipod to a computer o speakers and you´ll be able to synchronize or listen via speakers. Sometimes this issue happens cause there is a bad connection of the battery, Have you tried reseting the battery??

If you reset the battery and the problem persists maybe the battery connector is damaged, if you have another battery to try your ipod you can see if you have a battery problem.

If you try all of those tests and the problem persists then the logic board is probably damaged even if you don´t see physical damage. Sometimes ESD (electrostatic discharge) damages bards and circuits.

Good Luck!!!

Well thanks for the help...

So, i've exhausted the battery and tried to charge it, however the thing is that it still doesn't work:

the apple logo appears: it flashes and, of course disappears, and then the attention-low-battery logo starts flashing until i disconnect the iPod of the bose speakers or the electrical adaptater.

But i noticed that the hard drive don't start running and since i do not have another battery, i can't not test the battery connector.....

So, do you think that my logic board is damaged ?

thanks for answering my post.

One thing keeps bothering me: does anyone know why the battery connector divided itself in four paths instead of two, or sometimes three, as in any standard electrical network ?
