IPod 3rd genneration battery not holding charge. Can I replace battery?

I have been told that I can buy a newer generation iPod for the price of a replacement battery? My current iPod has a personalised back cover (was a gift for my wife) so can I replace and ask for personalised cover?

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $79. They do not fix yours. The will redue the engraving but you have to sent the iPod in to Apple
Will the custom laser engraving on my iPod be preserved?
If your original iPod was personalized by Apple and you arrange service through Apple, you will be asked if you want your replacement iPod to be personalized with the same text. iPod personalization is not available in all countries or through the Express Replacement Service. If your original iPod was custom laser engraved by another company, your replacement iPod will not be personalized.

A third-party place like the following will replace the battery for less. Google for more.

Replace the battery yourself if you are up to it. Y can purchase a replacement battery for about $10

Ipod 3rd Gen won't hold charge

I got a 3rd generation Ipod used for my sister for christmas, but it is having problems that I'm worried about.
First of all, it won't charge through the usb cord hooked up to the computer. It does recognize it in ITUNES but it won't charge. I hooked it up to a wall charger, and it charges fine but it won't hold a charge for more than 10 minutes!!! Any help?

3rd generation iPods don't charge over USB.
If the wall charger is USB, it won't charge the iPod either.
You will need to purchase a Firewire wall charger.

HT1477 Ipod Shuffle Gen 4. Not holding charge.

So my Ipod isnt holding its Charge. I just got a new Gen 4 Shuffle for Christmas. And it keeps on not holding charge. I had it on charger Saturday, my computerdid not go to sleep. Had a green light. Turn it on today, and its flashing red. What is going on?

Hello shadowknightpaladin
If you are using the new layout and selecting your iPod shuffle to setup syncing, the battery charge should be right underneath your iPod shuffle name. Also you can see a charge if you bring the Sidebar back, then you can see it next the iPod shuffle name. Don’t forget that you can look at your iPod shuffle to see your charge status.

TA44551 My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work.

My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work. I tried to restore it again and charged it in three different locations with different cables. etc but nothing. Suggestions?

- After charging for 1/2 hour or so, does iTunes see the iPod? If yes, restore the iPod from backup.
- If no, se if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make it visible so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:

Battery shows charging but stuck on 28% and does not hold charge

i am using HP DV6-6107tx, i got a new extended battery from anker which seemed to be running fine untill it discharged while i was playing watch dogs.
now my laptop wouldn't power on just on the battery, everything works fine if it is on charging, but the battery does not hold charge and my system powers off immediately on removing AC adapter. the battery shows "28% Charging" but does not increase or decrease the percentage even after hours of charging both while system is on and off.
i checked the battery in battery test from HP Support Assistant and it says that the battery status is ok, now i have tried the below methods with no luck :
power off and press power button methods.
uninstall and reinstall battery from device manager methods.
battery check from HP Assistant.
updating Bios to F.1b method.
updating the HP Support Assistant.
and all the other methods i could think of or read on HP's site.
can anyone guide me as to what is the issue here ? i don't have another machine to test my battery on, the charging lights are fine except that the light does not change color which it did on full charging the battery. i did try on 2 different adapters.
now if it were a motherboard or IC issue, would it not have said 'not charging' in windows ? in my case it says charging.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, M_Bilal
Welcome to the HP Forums.
That you for provided such a detailed post with what you've already completed, for the issue with your battery. I will try to guide you further.
I would like to provide you further documents for troubleshooting, but you've essentially completed what I have for this issue. The only step left, would be to test the battery.
You can do this with another battery, or in another notebook. I know you mention another machine, but if you know someone who does or someone who has a compatible battery. This would test that. You could even see if a local computer shop could test it.
The reason for this, is if the battery is the problem, it's much easier and more affordable replacement. Also, you mention it being new, might have warranty.
The other possible cause to the issue you've touched on, that would be the system board. Testing the above, would just confirm if this is the problem or not. From there you could decide on what you'd like to do.
I know, there really aren't many suggestions here, but I hope this can provide you with the next step.
Let me know how things go, with the route you choose to troubleshoot.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
I worked on behalf of HP.

8830 Battery does not hold charge

8830 does not hold charge even after 12 hours of charging. I cannot find new battery in any store, I have tried Verizon, Best Buy, and Radio Shack. Any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have seen the batteries at BestBuy, perhaps not yours.
You can buy another same battery at another carrier, Tmobile or ATT as well.
Get the 88XX - Green (lime) (C-X2) - 900mAh <<--is that the color of your present battery?

Nov 2008 Battery - now not holding charge - is this grounds for a free one

As the tile suggests I dug my receipt out and I replaced my original battery with a new one for $170 in Nov 2008. Now the battery is cutting out at various stages ( 10, 20, 30 even 50% )and not holding charge despite attempts to calibrate, reset PVRAM etc etc etc.
Is this grounds for a replacement or just the natural life of the battery ?

Seems the battery life "range" on my iPhone 4 is eroding and not holding charge, unlike when I first bought it. I have "turned off" apps running in background...

Have you tried basics? restart, reset, restore.

My Center button on my Ipod 3rd generation is not working? What do i do it still goes up and down just doesnt select anything.

My Center button on my Ipod 3rd generation is not working? What do i do it still goes up and down just doesnt select anything.

What I had to was backup my device's data to either iCloud or iTunes. Once it was backed up I erased all of my settings as if my iPad just came out of the box. You set it up again and it will asked you to either start as new, back up from iTunes, or back up from ICloud. If you want to see if everything works you can set up as new, otherwise just pick the choice depending on where you backed up your information. Eventually it will restore all of your information and your iMessage and FaceTime should be working. It worked for me, if you'd like more/better instructions let me know!!

IPad not holding charge

Please help it shows that it's charging but battery keeps going down

Do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.
If it continues to not hold charge take the iPad and charger to an Apple store genius bar and have the technicians test it.
