@johnwick90 extremely difficult to do since there are no schematics for the iPod. You can check the 30 pin dock connector wiring and see if that is working properly. Check the battery connector on the board since that is a weak spot on those boards. Make sure it is connected properly etc.

The power management IC

USB port

Battery connector

All of them are fine. I just don't know what's wrong with the board

Check the coils around the power management IC's and battery connector
