I accidentally let the ipod die and didn’t charge it for a long time and now when I plug it in, the “charging” symbol pops up (the dead battery with a lightning bolt under it) but no matter how long i leave it plugged in for, it doesn’t charge the battery. I have tried different cords, plugged into an outlet and my computer and nothing has helped. It doesn’t show up on my computer at all. There doesnt seem to be anything wrong with the charging slot. I have also tried holding the top and home button down but that doesn’t do anything either :[ The warranty is expired…
It could be dead friend, but just a few questions When you said u tried a different cord, did you also try a different charging block? Did you try multiple USB ports on your PC and still get no change? Has this iPod been heavily used, meaning dropped multiple times, maybe slight water spill on it, anything like that? When you say you accidentally let it die on you, what did you mean, is this a problem you have had before and knew not to let it die? Because I have and iPhone and iPod and both of them die on me daily with no issues at all bringing them back so that’s why I’m leaning toward bad battery or something else not apparent or conveyed to us in this question I think the best guess would be either the cord, the block, or the battery in the iPod are bad, the PC wont detect it because it is not actually on to communicate with the PC, and it is not uncommon for a machine to not turn on because of one bad part being connected to the board, so if you have tested different cord, different block, and all USB ports, then the only thing left I can think of trying is a new battery for it
