Dan Given thank you so much for your advice ... I was disturbed by the support I got from an iPod technician who said my warranty expired 120 days ago and I should just purchase another iPod but following your advice to toggle the hold and then hold menu and select button for 10 seconds really worked... God Bless superstar thanks a bundle |

@aol.com | For those of you, like me, that the reset hasn't worked for - try ebay. I've just bought a new battery for my mini for £3.99. |

Ipod 3rd GEN Won't Charge
PROBLEM: I just bought a new battery on ebay to replace a dead one that wouldn't hold a charge. I put it in and the iPod worked for a few hours and then went blank. Now all I get is the battery/exclamation point icon when I try to reset the iPod. I read somewhere that the 3G iPod won't charge over USB, so I'm plugged into a wall charger from my wife's iPod mini, but getting no charge. Is there a separate wall charger for the 3G iPod? Also, I'm not sure if I'm getting the thing to reset or not. . .when I push and hold the menu/select buttons I see the battery/exclamation icon and then it disappears like it's out of juice. It's almost like it's turning itself off before it has a chance to reset. Any suggestions?

my iPod won't charge. I changed the battery but still same problem. It works fine on a ipod dock (with charging cradle) but take it off and it dies almost instantly. When it is on the charging cradle it shows the battery charging indicator. It is a 60gb Video 5G model. Help - I'm going crazy!!! |

God damn it. I thought my iPod mini was a goner and haven't used it for 2 years but found it when I was clearing stuff out yesterday and plugged it in to the USB just for fun. Hallelujah it worked but the battery was really bad so I bought a new one. Praise the lord it worked again. For like. 15 minutes. And now it's totally dead and nothing that's been written in this thread works. Damn it. |

I reseted mine and I still can't charge my iPod, I have to hold play down while it charges and if I let go, it disconnects. It's really frustrating, this is the 3rd iPod that does this! |

i had the same problem. my ipod was dead for a long time and every time i plugged it in it would just be blank. after a while i decided to plug it back in giving it one more chance before i threw it away. i plugged it in and waiting a few minutes and it started up. give it some time to get a little charge and then it should come up. |

I must say: I am really really disapointed by all the mac stuff... I had EXACTLY the same problems, was not able to charge it, there was just this annoying symbol for some time and the tech support wasn't able to help me. Fortunately I was able to bing it back to the shop and got my money back... Never again guys... |

Lets See My ipod wont charge for more than 10 seconds. Tried every ones tips nothing works. IF i charge it it will turn on charge for 10 seconds then say the battery is full. I have reset it 100 times. The lighning bolt in the top right corner says full as well but the first second i unplug it the batter symbol shows it to be dead and dies 1 minuet after.
ANY ONE??? HELP??? PLEASE????? |

| That is one of many problems I had with son's video ipod. After countless resets, trying different cables and different computers and wanting to permanently kill it by stomping on it I had to send it in for repair. It received a new hard drive and a new battery but (naturally) lost all music. Glad I bought the extended warranty through Wal-Mart. Very fast repair time!
