What's broken now? Apple screen loop

I replaced the logic board, hard drive cable, battery, and the hard drive with an SD card adapter. It restored and in disk mode was able to load music back on no problem. When I exit disk mode and try to use the iPod, it goes to the apple screen, turns off, and goes back to the apple screen, then turns off... over and over.

I don't really know what else I can replace, but figure someone here probably knows more than I do! The SD card reader is the iFlash Solo and the SD card is a 64GB card referenced as working on my model on the iFlash site.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Any ideas? I've tried opening the thing up and rechecking connections, but the issue persists - no backlight apple logo loop. I put it in disk mode to get it to stop while I "restore" from iTunes, then it starts the boot loop again. I've even tried using the old battery again, the old hard drive... tempted to try the old logic board again, but I know that wasn't working.

When using the SD reader (iFlash SOLO), the first reboot when plugged into a computer only displays "Please Wait. Very Low Battery." Using the original HD it boots up, but the HD is dying (noisy and it crashes after loading music).

After much diagnosis and parts swapping, I figured it out. The SD card got jacked up in formatting. Formatted it on a PC instead of Mac, then reinstalled and it all works!
