80G iPod Video Rebooting
elkhedewi:
I was using 3.5.1 when the problem started, and I upgraded to 3.6 but that didn't fix it
AvatharV:
Same here.. version 3.6 of Rockbox.
The only thing I have been able to find on my iPod is that my hard drive seems to be failing. I don't see how this could be an issue, but it is the only thing that is out of the norm here.
And it is still rebooting, but not all the time. Sometimes it will be rebooting for days.. then it acts normal for a while.
solomonella:
tried every trick i could think of but it still keeps on rebooting :(
--------------
i just reverted to the previous 3.5.1 and that didn't have the reboot problem so i'ma stick with this for a while..
dreamlayers:
Here is my blog post on a problem I had: Video iPod won't charge via USB, won't turn off from Rockbox. Basically, the USB power circuitry in the iPod was defective, and it was feeding power back to the USB power input. This power made the iPod think that a USB cable was detected.
foe:
My ipod (5 80g video) refused to charge for a while. It would boot into charge mode (on cable connection) and quickly restart, each time getting less and less far into the process, shorter time between resets. I concluded from this that the battery was near dead and the cable wasn't providing power or the charging circuit wasn't recognising it.
I neglected to fix this and months later tried to charge it (with a different cable, I still haven't tested the (possibly faulty) other one) and all was well, but the run time is quite deficient.
Which of these is most likely?:
battery deteriorated from being stored with no charge?
battery shorted somewhere so it drains quicker than usual? I never had the false connection recognition that is discussed here...
charging logic prematurely deciding the battery is charged, and rockbox misrepresenting the charge?
