My pc doesn't recognized the iPod, nor itunes.

Otherwise it works fine. It charges, I can play the music in it... but I cannot add more music because when I plug in, the pc says that an usb device is not working properly.

I have try with different pcs and different cables with the same result.

I have try to reset the iPod too.

Which can be the problem?

This sounds like an unusual mishap, I would of recommended deleting and re-installing itunes or trying different cables like Mayer recommended, but if you say you have tried different PC's and cables, then it sounds like an issue with your iPod and you say you have tried to reset it already so I'm out of recommendations. I'm sure one of the iPod experts in here will recommend other trouble-shooting methods.

Thanks

Yes, I have tried with 3 different cables (all apple originals) and nothing. And I have 2 iPods, and the cables work fine with the other.

I fear it could be the logic board :(
