iPod 5,5 (80Gb) doesn´t switch on anymore
GodEater:
If your battery is truly as dead as it sounds it may take as long as 42 hours of charging to get it back into a working state. You can keep taking it back to Apple every time you do this - but it seems a little silly to me.
bascule:
iPods do this. Please listen to the advice and see my similar experience here:

Well. You shouldn't accuse people unless you are really sure -- I read the whole topic. And the symptoms you describe are exactly what happens when the battery is *completely* flat. Unless you have a real hardware issue (which is highly unlikely if you just got the Ipod) it *is* the battery. A couple of people already told you that you need to charge the Ipod, but you seem to desperately searching for another issue by repeating your arguments. This doesn't change the fact that these are definitely the symptoms for a completely flat battery, and it doesn't change that this doesn't have anything to do with Rockbox. Do you call it "respect for people" if you continue to ignore the advice (and even explanations)?
I'm really sorry for you getting angry because someone is a bit more directly in telling you what to do. Maybe I should stop watching this thread and trying to be helpful ...
killo777:
yeah, i am sorry too, because your comment was not helpful
i am always trying to be helpful aswell, if you read the thread you can see that i was charging the ipod, i will tell you more....i was charging for a long time with differents options (different usb cable, different wall charger...) so you can see that i was using the hints from all of you.....that is not the point....the point is that i am than more than 3 days only charging my device ....and then..... come a new comment to me that i have to charge the ipod....so it makes me feel like i am stupid, that i have to go to take english classes or that anybody takes me seriourly
anyway, was so sad yesterday to see any support beside to be charging the ipod that i went to changed for a second time in a week to an apple store.....what a shame.... they still have it, i hope to get a new one....
I love the rockbox but guys..... my living is doing test software (i am a tesing software engineer) for a big company..... i am know what i am doing.....so believe me....the battery was really, really really charged.....
so please, bluebrother, don´t take me wrong but your comment was out of place after my hard trying charing the ipod from differents ways.....
and yeah,.... i am trying always to support with ideas.....
we can stop
Llorean:
All you described were attempts at short charges, and then failure. You never once stated that you attempted a prolonged (20+ hour) charge, treating the battery as if it were completely depleted.
As we are not psychic, how could we possibly know you had done something you never told us you did?
Being a software tester yourself, surely you know the value of accurately describing your actions to those attempting to understand what is happening. As well, surely you understand the fact that since Rockbox is not running when your problem is happening (since it's during boot, and after hard reset) that whatever problem you're having is either hardware in nature, or due to a flaw in the Apple firmware. Since the Apple firmware seems to work for most people, the most logical conclusion is that it's a hardware issue. Following that, the symptoms you describe match almost exactly a disk without enough power to spin up: you yourself even said it sounds like the disk is catching. This leads to the assumption that something is preventing the disk from spinning up, and a likely cause is failure of the device to charge properly.
So, let me ask this explicitly: Have you charged your player from a *known good* source (one that charges other iPods) for a full charge period (24 or so hours)?
