5G video,  Replaced new battery,still wont charge,here's what ive done

My english isnt very well, hope u understand most of it. If you are impatient with my story you could just scroll down to the bottom,
Ok, so, my 60gb 5g ipod video is about 2yrs old. The drain battery thing starts happening a year ago.
With a full charge(as the screen said), once it's unplug from power source, it dies within 1 mins. so, i bought a new battery on ebay(hang on dont say the battery is bad, keep reading) put it in. That slightly improved, with makes it play for about 2hrs with a full charge. Not long after the replacement of this new battery, the ipod starts draining,and die quick again.
I decided to give it one more chance, and got a more expensive battery from ebay again.
after i replaced the battery, plug it into charge, it already says fully charged. At first i thought maybe it comes charged. so i unplug it. but the battery meter reads low, with like maybe 5% left.
That's when i realize, the problem is not the battery but the ipod.
I've read hundreds and hundreds of thread online. doesn't really help. I did all those reset
, disk mode and restore. The ipod still thinks the battery is charged and wont let juice pass on to the battery. At last, I've found a 13.1.2.1 firmware, and downgraded it from a 1.3, and see how it goes. Sadly, nothing changed.
@@@@@@@@@@   IF you are impatient, JUST read this part @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
I took the NEW battery out, found a 3.7v charger, and charge it externally / manually.
put it back in, the battery meter( the one of right top corner, while unplug) reads a 80% charge)
so, this proves that the battery is 100% GOOD ! when i plug it in, the ipod still thinks the battery is charged and wont charge it.
Here's my conclusion. There's a problem with the motherboard/mainboard, either the chip that prohibits battery from over charging is out, or there is something wrong with the socket.
My solution(which I haven't done yet) is drill a hole on the back plate close the the battery location, Charge it from the outside, with wires directly connect to the battery(if u rip those plastic tape carefully, u would see the +/- connectors).
Cost: 3.7v charged, should be less than $15 or just find a unused cell phone charged.
       or just mod your ipod wall charged.
       Connectors between the wires to the battery and the external charger could be find it
      Wal-mart, Ace, and many other store. for Wal-Mart they are usually in the Auto  section. Should be around $5
So, the whole fix for mine is just $10, since i mod my own ipod charged. and the $5 tips at a auto shop for the guy that drill the hole for me.
This saves me $90 from buying a used 60gb ipod from ebay, and around $300-$400 from a new one at apple.
After all, I post this because i dislike the way apple treat their costumers, they simply wants you to buy a new one instead of helping you. I've read lots and lots of stories about how people are unhappy, upset and even angry with apple. I'm one of the millions.

by the way, replacing the motherboard cost about $55 if u do it yourself, which i would rather buy a new one if thats the case.
and sorry that i didnt do a proof reading, of which lots of error in my post.

  • New battery still wont run

    Just was given a Macbook by a friend. Macbook runs FINE when plugged in, but will not run with battery. Most obvious thought in MY mind was battery.  Purchased brand new apple battery and installed and it STILL wont run on battery power . Tried that reset thing( removing battery and holding on button down 5 secs)  that was posted and still no results.   WHAT GIVES?

    If you bought the iPhone from an authorized store/vendor, you should have taken the iPhone to them or any other Apple Store for evaluation under warranty.
    Once it has been opened by non-Apple entity, Apple will not do anything for this.

  • New battery still drains while not in use

    A few months ago I noticed a battery performance issue on my 1 gen nano (quickly discharged, drained while not in use). I bought it the day they were available in stores (which was in 2005) so assumed I just needed to replace the battery. I installed a new battery and fully charged it with the ac adapter. However, I'm still having the same problem. After some troubleshooting, I found that it played for 5 hours on a continuous loop with no EQ and backscreen light off. The battery was fully drained. I again recharged in with the ac adapter to make sure the battery meter was recalibrated. After it was fully charged again I placed it on my desk and didn't use it. However after another 5 hours or so it was drained again. This is my second purchased battery so I doubt it's the battery. I have restored the nano numerous times. Any thoughts as why a new battery would drain while not in use? Could this be a hardware issue? Thanks in advance!!

    You either have an alarm set in clock or calendar which is causing it to play while you think it is off or you have a logic board short. I'd bet on the latter. You can have it diagnosed at http://www.iresq.com for $9 or Google for other 3rd party repair sites.

  • New battery won't charge

    Hi, using an alu pbook 1.67 15"
    A week or so back I thought my power cable had died. The indicator light stopped coming on. Just before buying a new one, I tried it again and it did start working again, although the battery no longer charged. As it was one of the duff recall replacement batteries I decided to buy a new one (think I've had it too long to complain to apple about bad recall). I inserted the new battery this morning (which turned out not to be a genuine one - thanks ebay seller) and my pbook worked fine off just battery poewr for a few hours.
    When it died, I plugged the cable in but this new battery will not charge - status is 0% "battery is not charging". I've reset pram and pmu but still problem exists.
    Pbook runs fine on battery alone - could it be that the cable is the cause of the problem - i.e. it works well enough to power but not well enough to charge the battery?

    Hi Bgreg, many thanks for your response. I've just tried a different, known to be working adapter and still no charge.
    There is prob a good 5mm of play in the power plug at the dc-in socket, so may well be the source of the prob (with this new cable the amber charge light stays constant while wiggling, my old charger flashed dark orange/amber).
    I'll get to an apple shop and ask to try a working battery (do they charge for quick favours?) then will look into the dc-in card.
    Thanks again,
    M

  • New Battery // Still doesnt work.

    A few weeks ago I noticed I my battery only had around an hour of battery life when unplugged. I read around the internet and got a new battery-- I had had that battery for around 3 years and figured it was dying. No big deal. Got a new one
    the problem is with this new battery, when fully charged, still only gets 50 minutes of battery life.
    Whats the deal? I recalibrated the battery (letting it die, then recharging it after 5 hours)
    What gives? I'm going to need more than 50 minutes of battery life.

    I have just ordered and received a new battery from the UK Apple store for a Macbook pro (2006).
    Straight from the box, I get one hour max out of the new battery despite a 99% charge (5546). The old battery that it replaced could do the same on approx 50% charge. The silver lining is that the MBP now doesnt shutdown without warning. Good deal/bad deal - you choose!!
    There seems to be generic problems with Apple replacement batteries for MBPs, which given the history, is something that Apple might be expected to have sorted after 3 years for the MBP.

  • My iphone 3gs is charging on the wall charger but wont charge on the pc, have cleaned it, yet it can sync and update with itunes easily, but it still wont charge, have tried several cables as well same effect.

    my iphone 3gs is charging on the wall charger but wont charge on the pc, have cleaned it, yet it can sync and update with itunes easily, but it still wont charge, have tried several cables as well same effect.

    1) authorize iTunes on your wife's user account for her iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect the device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred her purchases in the previous step, your content will be in her library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.

  • HT201407 during a update of apple my iphone 3GS crashed an now the operating system wont load up..ive tried to reset the phone to the factory settings it took 4 hours an completed but my iphone still wont come on..what can i do to fix the problem? please

    during a update of apple my iphone 3GS crashed an now the operating system wont load up..ive tried to reset the phone to the factory settings using itunes it took 4 hours and completed but my phone still wont come on..what can i do to fix the problem? please help #

    In trying to include what information all that I could I should have specified I DON'T KNOW THAT IT WAS DEFINATELY JAILBROKEN when I took it to the apple store they told me there's no way for them to tell if it was jail broken or not. I'm only going by what ppl have told me COULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO THE PHONE. With that said the only thing I know for sure is that the apple tech at the Genius Bar told me that someone took control of my root menu in February & I've had no control of my phone since. I asked him how to regain control & how he knew his exact words were "oh that is out of our scope of capabilities here at this level & you would need an apple engineer to fix it". I said ok then how do I get an apple eng then? He laughed & said you can't!!!! To which I was furious I came home & called apple requesting to speak w/the fraud dept to file a report they said we don't have a fraud dept!! So after a 45 mn phone call again I left w/no answers.
    @TJBUSMC1973-
    I DON'T HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO SPEND HIRING AN ATTORNEY & Although I appreciate your suggestion I fail to how an attorney would be able to facilitate in any way since there's no suspect. I cannot prove that it's him doing it so I certainly can't pursue legal action w/no proof & no money. :'((
    Again I thank you for your advice but I don't think that will help.
    I was looking more for a TECHNICAL way to avoid this happening w/a new phone should I buy one or trying to get them out of my phone now! Such as installing some kind of software protection?? Someway to clear out the entire phone (other than factory reset which was done 10 x's w/no success, etc. if this person got in then there HAS TO BE A WAY OF GETTING HIM OUT, right????

    Same problem for me.
    1. Cannot connect to wifi as icloud password pop up keeps appearing.
    2. tried deleting account. UNable to do so.
    3. tried resetting password by logging into apple id through desktop as mentioned in one of the responses in another thread. Unfortunately the apple id to be reset is the same as being prompted by icloud and hence unable to reset the same.
    Feel like breaking the **** ipad into bits. Stupid of apple to let such a bug in and not offer support !!

  • I keep hearing that I can't email videos from iPhoto because they are too big. What I don't understand is that I was able to send videos via email in the past. Why?

    I keep hearing that I can't email videos from iphoto because they are too big. What I don't understand is that I have emailed videos via email in the past. Why is that?

    Look at your settings iPhoto>Preferences>Accounts
    and make changes here or add your email account if not in the list
    One thing to look at for sure is the SMTP sever name, I think by default it fills it in as smtp.me.com  or some such,  which may not be your email outgoing server.
