Battery, logic board or something else?

Hi everyone,

This one has me stumped, so thanks in advance for having a look at this. I have a 160GB classic 7th gen.

It's had a good life but recently got a little wet, and wouldn't play from the battery. I could plug it in though - it would boot up from scratch but then work okay. I tried to dry it off for a couple of weeks - no cigar. I replaced the battery but had the same result. I replaced the logic board, same result. In doing so I broke the cable connecting the hold switch, which I'll replace, but I can't imagine this is having any bearing on the problem (correct me if I'm wrong!)

In summary - new logic board, new battery, it will only play from being connected to the dock. It will tell me the battery is charging (and some times that it's charged), but won't play from the battery.

ANY thoughts would be welcome! It's a complete mystery to me.

Thanks so much,

Charla
