I have an iPod mini 2G, but the battery indicator always has a lightning bolt over it, even though it's not plugged in. When I let it sit for a while the screen changes to saying "Charged" and a battery with the lightning bolt over it, as if it was charging.
Is this a good question?

Hi
It is usually 1 of 2 things
1)a dirty charge port:have a look under a strong light for any dirt and debris,if any are found try and carefully remove it with something thin like a sewing needle or some fine tipped tweasers,just anything thin
After that carefully clean it with a toothbrush and some isopropyl alcohol
Or
2)it could be a bad battery,this is quite common due to the iPods age as battery’s degrade with age and these battery’s will be around 20 years old so it’s not rare to see battery isssues
Here’s a battery replacement guide
If the above doesn’t work you could be looking at a logicboard issue which could be solved however the microsoldering side of things isn’t the easiest for everyone so if you want to try it make sure you are comfortable with it
Hopefully this helps
Any questions please ask
Thanks:-)

It turns out that all I had to do was to plug my iPod into my windows PC and the plug it out without ejecting. If anyone knows why this is, please let me know.
