Replaced battery and it still goes dead sitting on desk-slide to off.
I bought a replacement battery from iFixit, installed it and the iPod still goes dead sitting on the desk after 6 days.
Is this a good question?

Bear in mind that there is no hardware off setting with this device. It uses what is called soft-off. In other words, power is still being consumed waiting for a press of the on/off button which is often referred to as the sleep/wake button because technically it doesn't turn it off. Think of it like standby in a brown goods device such as a TV. Uses less power, but still some.

Is that turned off like "slide to turn off", or just with the screen off?
