Player is shutting down

<< < (2/2)

theone:
I should have my new battery any day now...and will let you guys know.

theone:
...or maybe not; still waiting on the damn thing.

Edit: just got it today...but "it" wasn't what it was supposed to be. I ordered a 2200mAh and received a 1600mAh, so more time will pass before I actually get to do it :(

arrow224:
This happens to me as well. Using Kosh's Experimental Build 2.9.25. I know it is not supported, but it doesn't seem to matter.
[EDIT]: Not sure if it helps, but I was manually updating Tagcache, as I had put on some new albums. I let it be, and ~5 minutes later, it was off.

I can't even get back into the original firmware. I get to the 1.29k.... LOADING.... part, and it shuts down.

Where can I get a new (and better?) battery in Melbourne, Australia?

theone:
Well, the battery was the problem. The player never shut off on me (however I did have to do a paper clip reset once when it froze). The battery level indicator didn't even come close to half-way within the 2 hours I had it playing non-stop.

So, if this happens to you, a new battery is what you need. I bought a cheap $11 one off eBay (all you need is a 1st/2nd gen iPod battery...not forgetting to reverse the polarity [just make sure that the positive wire is on the left side of the molex connector...as you can see in the picture above on the left, the iPods have the positive on the right]).

ps: it's such a relief not having to carry the AC adapter around eveywhere!

theone:
Update:

still goin' strong with no auto-shutoff problems...
