iPod 5,5 (80Gb) doesn´t switch on anymore

I said before that i can hear a click sound from the ipod connector, i think that it is the hard disk.
so that is the reason that I am saying that I am 100% sure that the battery is not empty, because in case of an empty battery i will not hear a click inside the ipod.

So please, can anybody really help me, no one has a problem with the ipod80 gb.

I forgot to say that i had the same problem with  my first ipod80gd, I was able to get a new replacement from apple warranty and I used again the rockbox in my new ipod full charged, that is the reason i think is a rockbox bug

GodEater:
Would you please just stop arguing with us and CHARGE your ipod?

It's very unlikely you've run the battery down low enough to get no activity at all - so what you're hearing is very likely the iPod trying to power up, and then shutting down again when it doesn't get enough voltage.

It's most definitely NOT a Rockbox bug as if it won't power on - no code of ours can possibly be running.

don´t worry,
 i am trying to be positive and solve a problem, for sure your are  the expert and i am only the end user ??? ;D

I am charging my ipod with the usb in a laptop ibm lenovo R60, usb 2.0, two hours and nothing is happening.

let´s try put everything together:
1.- I am using rockbox in my ipod 5g 80gb since juni without any problem
2.- with the version r13733-070629 start having this switch on problem, I can sure that the ipod is 100% charged but not reaction to MENU+SELECT
3.- last week I changed my ipod for a new one from the apple store (warranty) and I tried again the same rockbox version in the new ipod, next day i had the same problem, the day before was the ipod conected to the pc , so battery was 100% charged.


anybody with the same problem? how can i discharge my ipod faster? I still hear clicks inside the ipod, it is like the hard disk looping, perhaps i can stop it once the battery is empty

and really guys....i was the whole weekend charging the ipod, this morning again and nothing happens...and please, don´t ask me to charge it with a wall charger

I have to say that i can not live with my ipod without the rockbox...

thanks

Llorean:
So, since Rockbox doesn't handle the bootup, are you *sure* your computer didn't stop giving enough charge?

That's a clear possible solution, your USB port stopped providing as much power, due to some failure, and so now you can't charge the iPod as well as you should be able to.

As you've been told, Rockbox doesn't control bootup, and Rockbox can't prevent Menu+Select, so despite the correlation of "I installed this version of Rockbox" and "Problems started happening", there's a distinct unlikeliness that Rockbox is the problem. As I've pointed out, there are other correlations to bear in mind.

And a click click click is almost exactly the sound one would hear from an iPod without enough power to spin up a disk, but trying anyway, as was said earlier.

killo777:
ok,

thanks,
the thing is that i was trying to charge from differents computers, at home and at the office (this morning) and before i never had this problem.....

so it means, i need a wall charger? no so easy to get.....uhm....or any idea or program where i can check if my usb port is giving out mA?
in any case, i check my usb cable with another ipod and i can say that it is ok, so my usb cable is not broken.

I will try to see what can i do
