I have a old 3rd gen iPod. The battery is most likely dead and it won't turn on even if I have it plugged in via USB cable. Is it still worth trying to replace the battery?
Esta é uma boa pergunta?

Dmitry Podkuiko, absolutely. those are great iPods and I like the sound a lot better than the one from my Touch. Anyhow, follow this guide to change the battery and I would also suggest to get a Firewire charger. The iPod 3rd Gen does not charge through USB but needs Firewire connection. This model only syncs through USB. Hope this helps, good luck.

Thank You, This was very helpful, Even if you plug in the Ipod 3rd Gen via USB it will show a 0.1 volt drop but will not charge the device. The only method to charge is Firewire ! Thanks Again!!!

Are you using the proper charger? Gen 3 iPod only charges from a firewire cable. It will sync with usb but not charge.
Hello,
I’ve not test replaced battery but charging it with FireWire. When completed I connect to pc via usb - 30 pin.
When syncing the battery charge drops completely and syncing stops.
Is this an battery issue?
