Help !!!

(1/1)

Ballbearingman:
I have just installed Rockbox on my 4th generation I-Pod this morning.
At first, it worked fine, after some "getting used" to the Rockbox functions I was able to get the I-Pod playing.
But then, when re-inserting the headphone cable, it suddenly indicated a "battery low" warning and then switched off (although I am certain the battery was fully loaded).
Any attempt to start the I-Pod again failed, I also tried to plug it in, in order to re-load the battery, but without success.
Has anybody had the same experience, and if so, did you find a solution to the problem ?
Although this looks like a hardware problem, it seems a bit strange that this happens shortly after installing Rockbox, so maybe there is a simple solution ???

AlexP:
Please search the forums, this has been asked so many times I've lost count.

Also, please rename the thread to something descriptive.

Plug it in to the wall for a good long time (many hours), then attempt to reset it.  There is a bug in the Apple OF that means occasionally it won't start with a fairly low battery.  You don't see this with the OF, as it never shuts down the ipod, just sleeps it, whereas rockbox properly shuts it down.
