iPod not taking charge

I have a 5th generation iPod, don't think its touch screen. It wouldn't take charge on cable, but on dock it shows a faint apple symbol. Does this mean it is charging? I called various places and said it may be the battery or charge port. I took it to get repaired and was told they could not change charge port as it was saudered to Motherbroad. Please help!!!

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Are you confident this is an iPod touch or no? I'm confused by the phrasing of your first sentence. Does the device work normally? Does it hold a charge?

Pretty sure he has an IPod touch 5th generation. As he said the store wouldn't repair the charger port as it's soldered to the board which is true.

It's not worth repairing imo caused too many issues myself trying to replace charger port.

Check the charger port for any blockage. If there is use a toothpick or something equivilant to clean it out. If the charger port does not go in fully this can be the issue.

Use your dock or get another cord it sounds like your cord has went bad and yes if you are getting anything on your screen it is charging sometimes it takes a bit if the battery is really dead
