iPod 5.5g No Battery!

<< < (2/2)

doublea71:
Sounds a lot like what happened to my 5.5 today. I was playing music while charging it in an AC outlet and it suddenly switched off. When I switched it back on, it would play for a few seconds then do the same thing. I'm thinking the battery is just old. I'm going to see if I can get a new one tomorrow at a shop that replaced my scroll wheel...

dreamlayers:
Maybe it wasn't really charging. There's a setting for enabling USB charging. Make sure that was correctly set. You can also view details about charging via the debug screen.

By my understanding, even when set to "off" the player will still draw 100mA.

torne:
Yes, but you can exceed 100mA average drawn if the disk spins up often enough, and thus the overall effect will be to discharge, not charge, the battery.

You mentioned you were charging it with an AC outlet; we don't yet detect that kind of charger in Rockbox, which means you need to set this setting to "force" to make it actually charge from that.
