Cant turn my Ipod on.

<< < (2/3) > >>

Sanek:
I have the same problem now!

Any fix to this? This is a brand new 5.5g 30GB ipod video...

GodEater:
BigBambi's post *is* the fix.

AlexP:
24 hours is probably a little overkill, but it needs a good long charge (from the wall adapter to ensure sufficient current).

Thanx, fixed it!

In my case, I don't believe it had anything to do with battery life as having read about the shorter battery life under rockbox, I watched the battery indicator pretty carefully. I shut down Rockbox when battery was at around 50%.

GodEater's instructions solved it for me without charging the ipod:

--- Quote from: GodEater on September 05, 2007, 03:47:13 AM ---Charge your ipod for a LONG time - at *least* two hours before you try anything else.

*Then* do a hard reset by doing the following :

Hold switch to on.
Hold switch to off.
Press and hold both MENU and SELECT for at least 30 seconds, or until your ipod restarts.

After boot, the battery was still around 50% under Apple's Firmware (thats the one I booted just to be on the safe side).

Chronon:
You can find similar reports from people using unmodded Apple firmware on Apple's forums.
