Re: Ipod Mini Won't Charge
Yea, I had the same problem today actually. I was listening to my iPod while doing some grocery shopping, and paused it while checking out, and then when I tried to play again, nothing happened. I took it out of my jacket pocket and the screen was dead. Got kinda scared after nothing happened after hooking it up to the power adapter. At first I was going to attribute it to me tooling around with the firmware, but that seemed illogical since it had worked flawlessly for some time. A simple reset works wonders. If the rest doesn't do anything, then you panic:p |

Thanks druvak. I was freaking out too. This seems to be a design fault, as like so many others on the forum I had done nothing that should warrant a reset. Hopefully Apple will sort this out for newer models. |

Made it possible to save my wife's little beastie from service. I had tried every combination possible (I thought)... being a troubleshooter.

they almost need to put a warning label on all the ipods -- telling the user to "reset" if failed to recharge or freezing |

Wow thanks! I was panicking. I had just got my ipod and let it run dead. Then it wouldn't charge! Reset really works. Apple should include that on their site or manuals, or something! |

It's listed on the iPod Support Page Basics: Resetting iPod if it appears frozen or doesn't respond |

Thanks so much for this tip. I read that routinely discharging and fully recharging was good for the battery (a practice I'm familiar with for other appliances).
So I let it run down, but my mini was dead as a doornail even after an overnight charge. I Googled and came across this forum and your answer. It works fine now. Thank you again. |
