iPod video 5 keep rebooting

wodz:
The symptoms you describe match pretty well to worn out battery. Li-ions/lipos behave like this - the voltage is ok as long as you don't start draining current (and spinning up hdd takes a lot of current) then it drops drastically.

It was full when I started the procedure and never disconnected the USB cable from the iPod I don't understand why the battery drops to zero. But lets just assume that's true, why the battery is not charging anymore I left it on the charger for over 24 hrs.

Ok, I opened up the iPod and disconnected the hard drive and hooked up the USB cable it loads triangle mark next to iPod icon with apple website on the bottom (because no HDD detected offcourse) and then shuts down saying the battery is very low, and keeps doing the same cycle over and over, But when the USB cable is not connected it just cycles between apple logo and apple website with triangle next to iPod icon and in few seconds goes blank and when I hit the center button it does the same cycle and never displays battery very low message tried that several times the battery never died. I connected the USB cable again and it displayed apple logo and battery very low message, I will leave it connected for few hours without hard drive and see how it goes.

It didn't charge anything its been displaying very low battery for the whole time, I didn't see the need to go longer than this, I connected the hard drive back and after several tries I was able to defeat the low battery warning message and put it in disc mode iTunes detected it and displays everything as normal, but I went ahead and restored again and after reboot goes back to the same cycle apple logo and very low battery warning, I still have the iPod cracked open if anyone wants to give me a suggestion before I toss it the trash can.

latreche34:
I managed to get it into disc mode again showing battery logo on top right corner full black with spark logo attached to it I will leave it for a while like this see if it clears the battery state detection error and report back.
