Ipod won't go past Apple screen and reboots in disk mode after changing battery

<< < (5/6) > >>

Nope, It always shuts off after about 15 seconds. I think I actually mine is actually damaged somehow. Btw I really like that picture, it's almost beautiful, in a weird kind of way ...

problem came back lol and its definitely due to some type of contact or short because I can get the ipod to boot to rockbox quickly when it does work. i dont know how or what i did but it happens after reassembly but none of the steps i took make sense as to how I got it to work. No idea.. once again.. got it to boot to rock box... close the case, snap... go to Files in rockbox.. ipod doesnt respond, restart... connect to itunes to restore. wtffff. It stops working when i put it back together!!!

HigherGround:
Just received the new connector. Replaced it with he old hard drive connector and presto, it works again! Sorry to hear about yours :( Maybe the act of closing it loosens the connector because some of the parts are a bit out of place?

torne:
Is your battery or hard drive perhaps slightly thicker than the stock ones, causing something to get pressed on too hard when you close the case?

kvnknrd:
Well I have two replacements on hand that I can use/test.. and I have an 80gb hard drive so I have the bigger backing plate. What could the battery possibly press against that causes it to reboot though?? The LCD screen? I did notice that the little blue rubber bumpers were having a hard time sitting in place but that seemed normal to me. Plus I tried plugging this in with the battery detached and ipod disassembled (meaning it was pressing up against nothing at all) and I still got the sad ipod face. Is that normal?
