Risks relating to iPod charging from wall socket.

SilleeString:
My question is why someone would leave their ipod plugged in for that long anyway?  ???

But if you hold menu, as I've done to charge the ipod sans computer, you'll be totally fine..

you might have an old ipod with a dead battery that you keep plugged in for your home stereo etc..

SilleeString:
True but in that case you'd be aware if it were rebooting non-stop.  To keep plugged in in that case while not in use just doesn't make sense to me

Llorean:
The other thing is, if you have it plugged into a home stereo, either A) you're in Rockbox (in which case this doesn't happen) or B) You only ever use retail (which means why do you have Rockbox installed?)

While this thread is a valid concern, it came about through the user's carelessness and the fact that he'd modified his retail firmware to sleep very early.

By the time Rockbox is actually released, I'm fairly certain either it will have its own USB mode, or it will be able to tell the difference between a power charger and an actual USB connection, and reboot or charge depending on which it is.

well i cant tell you what  happened i was asleep when i woke up i didnt know what was in it , its only in the late after noon when i put it on its dc/dc chip became hot while playing songs with rock box , it could also be that i had just updated .rockbox folder the previous day so , i dont know real cause , but dc/dc chip was spoilt due to continuous rebooting plus there is no option to default boot apple f/w which would have saved it , why cant be multiple option menu given through rockbox developers ,



i am sorry that i just fiddled with my little ipod (my baby) i shouldn't have put rockbox in first place (my mistake) , everything was going fine
