Se empurrar ou der um jeito forçando a entrada dos phones o sinal vai dando um pouco mas se largar a entrada só dá num. Terá arranjo? terei de comprar um novo após 4 anos? Ele não caiu nem nada. Não dá par abrir e arranjar, será mau contacto? Agradecia uma ajuda. Obrigado

When I plug it in it will charge, but not connect, it doesn't show up in iTunes, explorer, disk manager or device manager. The iPod is otherwise fully functional.

Things I've tried:

Hard Reset (both when connected and not)

Disk Mode

Original Apple cable, and aftermarket cables (charges on all, won't connect)

Uninstalling iTunes

Restarting computer with iPod attached

Uninstalling all USB drivers and restarting

Plugged into Windows 7/10 and OSX, no change.

I even tried connecting it to an android phone with an adapter .

Reset iPod settings

I am pulling (what little is left) of my hair out with this! I have come to the end of the internet and I've run out of options, the only thing left to assume is that it's a hardware issue but it was literally working, then sat on a desk for a bit, then stopped working, nothing happened in between and it never had any issues before.

Any insight is appreciated, even solidarity if you are experiencing the same thing. It's just so frustrating, at least if it showed some sign of connectivity I would have a glimmer of hope, but I have nothing to go on if I can't even try to access the device.

SIGH.

Thanks,

I think the major problem would be to have it connect to a Wi-Fi network.

Maybe a possible solution is to make the iPod be a piggyback of a mobile phone where you have Spotify, but idk.

Problem is Spotify won’t let you sync your iPod when you connect it to your pc so there’s no way to download your entire Spotify library to your iPod.

I found there are some programs that claim to be able to do it, but they have two major problems:

1 - you have to select each song and drag it onto the program;

2 - they are quite expensive (30-40$) whereas most iPod mods can be done with less expense.

Big thanks to anyone who’ll answer!

I found out that the charge port had bent pins at the data transfer outs. I had someone help me to replace it and the ipod worked fine for about a month, even the battery it came with was holding a charge for a long time.

Now out of nowhere it won't charge anymore. Neither on Wall or Computer USB. When I connect it to my PC, I get a windows notification saying that there was a power surge at the port because the device is drawing too much power and telling me to disconnect it immediately.

I tested different cables and even replaced the battery with a new one. So I can safely rule out those two things.

I can't imagine it being the charge port again since I just replaced it, unless the soldering wasn't perfect and something became disconnected.

What could the problem be? And what components could I test for voltage on the logic board to see where the problem could be, starting from the pins on the charge port? There are no schematics available I think so I don't know where the electricity runs through. I know there is like a fuse and an IC for controlling the flow but I'm also not sure which one it is.
