Hi all,
I have a 2-3 year old 4th generation imod, and it is dying.
Problems:
1) it doesn't seem to charge, but discharge, oddly, when plugged into the power. There is no sign of charging and when i plug it out the bar goes red (backwards) rather than forwards. Similarly, when I plug it into a computer source (have tried a few), I get 'USB Device not recognised'.
2) this doesn't happen all the time, but erratically. sometimes it charges properly, and sometimes the computer recognises it. I have managed to charge it during these periods, but increasingly, I've been finding it hard to get lucky
3) at all times I cannot charge the ipod through the adaptor and play music at the same time. If I try that it will just reboot, and even if it was initially at full capacity it goes red.
Anyone knows what might be the problem? Or do you know someone who might know? what should I do? I've emailed Vinnie 1-2 weeks ago but he hasn't replied...
any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
