Hello, I have an iPod mini here that has had its battery replaced. And now after working for a week has died. It is not the battery because even while charging nothing shows on screen. The hard drive and lcd is securly plugged in. Any suggestions?
okay, let me stop you there. minis dont have hard drives... are you sure the battery is securly plugged in? and do you know how to check?
yes the battery is plugged in. I put it all together again and I got the battery very low icon and then it disappeared. the mini has a hard drive. if not explain what these are
Put it on the charger for 6+hours then connect it to your computer. If it dosent turn on when you connect it to your computer reset it (menu and center for 2 seconds) while it is pluged into the computer
ok well heres the thing, I plug it into the pc to charge and i get the very low battery icon. then she charges a bit then it turns off. any reason to that?
what ever, its a hard drive. well i plugged her in this morning and it showed me a sad face *poop* any way to fix it? I mean buying a new HARD DRIVE(Preferable cheap)(Link?) Or is it more than the hard drive?
ITS A COMPACT FLASH MICRODRIVE!!! and yeah, there is a way to fix it... i seen it somewhere, just cant remember where... sorry. ill try to find out
okay... i couldn't find the exact site, but i've been doing some googling... try the following methods: 1. the 5 R list -- 1) reset (menu + centre)... 2) retry (with a different USB or firewire)... 3) restart (your comp. and ensure you have all of the newest software installed)... 4) reinstall (itunes)... 5) restore (need to plug into comp. ¦¬() 2. forcing it into disc mode -- hold menu + centre and then as soon as the screen changes, hold on play + centre (NOTE** your ipod must be connected to the comp.) 3. this may seem a bit crazy but... drop it on the floor (port side down) 4. cry 'coz you need to get it serviced... or buy a new iPod. thats all for now... tell me if anything worked
erm... yeah... why not? the sad face just means that there is a hardware error, so it could be the drive, but it could also be the cable for the battery is not plugged in correctly
did you try anything from above? and just out of interest, did you change the battery or somebody else? - if somebody else, please specify
so, umm... repetition means "no" to my question then? did you try any of these: okay... i couldn't find the exact site, but i've been doing some googling... try the following methods: 1. the 5 R list -- 1) reset (menu + centre)... 2) retry (with a different USB or firewire)... 3) restart (your comp. and ensure you have all of the newest software installed)... 4) reinstall (itunes)... 5) restore (need to plug into comp. ¦¬() 2. forcing it into disc mode -- hold menu + centre and then as soon as the screen changes, hold on play + centre (NOTE** your ipod must be connected to the comp.) 3. this may seem a bit crazy but... drop it on the floor (port side down) 4. cry 'coz you need to get it serviced... or buy a new iPod.
