Mini Ipod Battery Replacement Trouble

Hey guys,
I bought a ipod mini replacement battery from this site:
http://store.l-f-l.com/cgi-bin/cp-app.cgi?pg=prod&ref=EC003
I installed it carefully and everything just like the directions told me to and it looked great. But the only problem is the sound does not work, it works when i place it on one of my ipod music players but you cannot hear anything with it by itself and the headphones, and i know it is not the headphones because i checked it to make sure...
Does anyone know what is wrong or what I should do?

1. You will get back an identical iPod (same generation, same engraving, same color).
2. The new iPod will be blank, so you'll have to put the sngs onto it through iTunes, like getting a new iPod.
I hope this helps!
By the way, it is a lot easier to read your post if you type normally, not in one very long sentence.

How do i get a shipping box for out-of-warranty ipod battery replacement?

i have signed up online to have my ipod battery replaced. the pod is out of warranty. the email reply only tells me to pack it well because apple won't deal with it if it is damaged in shipment. the only instructions i have found in my search at the apple site seem to deal with apple automatically sending the shipping package for in-warranty pods.
can anyone help?
thank you in advance,

Usually, it takes about a week from the moment you
request the box till you have the iPod back.
gee, apple acknowledged my request for a replacement on 0905, but i don't have a box yet.
i called my apple store, and they also said that apple would send me a box.
i just noticed that you said "from the moment you request the box." how do i request a box? i have only "ordered" the replacement battery -- apple terms it an "apple product replacement request."
i guess i am impatient, but i'm beginning to feel that i am in the middle of a kafka novel.
chris, can you think of anything else?
thanks.

IPod Battery Replacement Service Chan

As of 7.8.05, Apple changed its iPod battery replacement service charge from $99 to $59.
Darn.....now i feel some regret from getting a Zen Micro, seeing as how the only reason i bought it was cuz its battery was only $40.

There is also a company named iPodResQ that for $64 will cover the cost of overnight shipping of your iPod, replacement of the battery and then overnight shipping back to you. This is well worth it. Having just bought an iPod one month ago, I don't plan on this service for at least two years or better. With this service you get your original back. If you opt to send it to Apple, they do NOT necessarily send you the same unit back.

IPod Battery Replacement Program

Hi Everyone,
My green iPod mini is now in need of a new battery. I read over the Battery Replacement FAQ, but I'm not sure how the condition of the iPod mini I recieve will be. So I guess I have a few questions.
Has anyone participated in this program that has had success getting a good iPod back?
What do they do with my old iPod?
Do they test it when they get it to see if it needs a new battery?
What do they send with the iPod? Or is it just the iPod itself?
Thanks,
Brian

Personally, I wouldn't recommend sending it to Apple for an out of warranty battery replacement.
You can get a new battery and do it yourself for ~$20.
Go to www.ipodjuice.com.
There are other places also. Google "iPod battery".
What do they do with my old iPod?
They repair it and use it as a replacement.
Do they test it when they get it to see if it needs a new battery?
Yes.
What do they send with the iPod? Or is it just the iPod itself?
Just the iPod.
They charge $$59, plus $6.95 shipping.
If the battery is good or the iPod is bad, they will return your iPod, refund the $59 and keep the shipping.

Apple iPod Battery Replacement Program Experiences.

Hello, as you all know apple offers the battery replacement program for 99 dollars (now sixty something dollars). For any of you that have tried it, can you please tell us all a little about how was your experience? did you get a better ipod or a worse one? a refurbished, used or new? scratched or perfect?
please leave a comment on how your experience was with Apple's battery replacement program even if it is a very small one.

I just received my refurbished iPod back yesterday. It looked like new! The engraving was on the back, just like the unit I sent in.
However, the reason I am on the forums today is that when I plugged it in to charge the new battery before synching, I received the familiar "battery with exclamation point" screen. So now I seem to have a clean, new or refurbished unit with the same old problem. Frustrating to say the least.

Ipod battery replacement

I have a 1st gen 2Gb nano and the battery is well under the 50% and I would like to participate in the battery replacement program. If I take it in to my local store will they give me a 2nd or 3rd generation nano, or would they be able to find a 1st gen.

They won't replace it with a newer model that's for sure.
They'll likely send it away and you'll get another iPod of the same model.
You can do that on-line. Is it out of warranty?

Ipod battery replacement worries

I am having my old battery replaced at an apple store. What are the chances that I will lose my songs??? Appreciate a reply!!! Thank you. Jeff

Are the really replacing the battery in your iPod?
The usually replace your iPod with a refurbished one.
This
Apple - Support - Service Answer Center
says
Will the data on my iPod be preserved?
No, you will receive a replacement iPod that will not contain any of your data and songs. Before obtaining service, it is important to back up your data. Apple is not responsible for the loss of information while servicing your iPod and does not offer any data transfer service.
In any event I would backup the iPod and all media on the iPod

Won't charge after ipod battery replacement

Hi,
I hope you can help me.
Battery replacements for iPod generation 1 (5 GB) and iPod Photo generation 4(?) (60 GB) did not work:
I bought replacement batteries from OWC (MacSales.com). Below is the invoice data from OWC for theses batteries. Since the swapping didn't work the first time, they sent me new batteries for free, but to no avail.
NWTBIPOD1350MPH
Apple iPod Photo 1350mAh High-Cap Battery
S/N: 5818602, replacement for S/N: 5554860
NWTBIPOD2200M12
Apple iPod 1G/2G 2200mAh High-Cap Battery
S/N: 3761061, replacement for S/N: 3761112
Neither the iPod Photo nor the iPod 1G would work after installing new batteries. The batteries were replaced by OWC, but even a new install with the new replacement batteries did not work. Both iPods worked fine after each installment with the batteries as long as there were some power left in the new batteries. As I recall, that would be about 2 hours. After the first complete charge of the batteries, the iPods seemed to work as expected, but after the second charge they both appeared completely dead. The charging was done with the chargers that came with the iPods. This is very odd, and it is hard to tell what the problem may be. I find it strange that this happens to both the 1. and 4. generation of iPods, as they are quite different, and so are the batteries, and the same thing happened after trying to swap batteries twice on both units.
Do you have any ideas as to what it may be that causes this?
If you know how I can get the iPods to work with the new batteries I would appreciate it. It is no option to buy new iPods. Economy doesn't permit it for the moment.
Best regards from
Guttorm Kittelsen
PS. The iPod 1 (5Gb) was bought at Office Line Mac & Carry (now Humac) in Oslo
        The iPod Photo 4 G (60Gb) was bought at the Apple store. (not the App Store)

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. I suspect a hardware problem due to the hotness. If iTunes can't see the iPod then uor only hope if to contact a data recovery company for getting data off the iPod. If you have an iPod backup you can restore another iPod, iPhone or iPad from the backup to get the data that was in the backup

Mini ipod battery issue

I have an old generation mini ipod. Despite the battery being charged full it cuts out and flashes up NO BATTERY POWER REMAINS. PLEASE CONNECT IPOD TO POWER. The battery icon flashes up with exclamation mark then completely shuts down. After leaving a few minutes eventually starts up but battery is empty. After leaving a further few minutes it eventually acknowleges a full battery and starts to work but then will shut down and repeat process.i then have to recharge via plug to get to work again. I realise I have a very old model ipod but can this be fixed without requiring a new battery? Is this a common problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have tried restarting but has not worked.

Hello Paul
The batteries that are in iPods do not last forever, they typically last about 400 times of being charged up and depleted. Check out the articles below for more information about your batteries. The second article will give more insight and answer to questions that you might have.

DIY iPod Battery Replacement on G3

I've had my G3 iPod for a few years now and shockingly the hard drive still works perfectly. But, the battery on the other hand, holds less charge than a candle. I bought a very cheap battery replacement kit online, but the tools included are so cheap they don't do a **** thing. How the **** do I open the iPod? Is there a good guide on the internet? I've seen a couple but they really don't go into any detail with photos and what not about how to really get the iPod opened up.

see if these help

Ipod battery replacement program question

Once I return my battery-heating ipod nano (first gen), what ipod will it be replaced with? Thanks, just curious.

The current model.

Contact for Ipod Battery Replacement (UK)

I sent my ipod to get a new battery over a month ago and when I check online all it says is 'unit received'. I've emailed them twice but get an automated 'we are busier than usual and will reply to you asap' email and still haven't heard back from them. The contact number in the book that you receive is not a valid phone number 0870 0876 0753.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get in contact with them, thanks.

I have a dilemma.
I bought my iPod from a well known highstreet chain with a 3 year coverplan. It is about 11 months old.
They have said that they will replace it but will just swap it for the new 5G model.
Ordinarily this would suit me fine, however I have no USB2 so therefore it won't work with my Firewire eMac. I need an iPod photo as a replacement.
I spoke to Apple who confirmed it is covered as in warranty and that they would replace it for free. (BTW out of warranty would cost £40 + £29 postage)
If I send it to Apple I think it would invalidate my Coverplan and if anything else goes wrong during that time I wouldn't be covered.
What to do!?!

Ancient iPod Battery Replacement?

I have an ancient (1st generation? 2002) 10 gig iPod that I just resurrected for my daughter to use. Is it possible to replace the old battery with a new, more efficient one? I am in the process of trying to charge this one up but I doubt it will hold a charge as long as our newer iPods.
TIA,

IPod Battery/Power Trouble...Please Help

I have had my iPod for about 3 years (so it's like a 2nd or 3rd gen.) anyway, when I have it connected to the power adapter it will turn on. But when I unplug the power cord or try to connect it to my computer it will not turn on. I have charged it overnight and it doesn't show up as being completely charged. I have reset it and still no power. Any ideas?

Suggestions for new battery replacement for 1st gen Ipod?

Hello all,
I recently acquired my brother's 1st gen Ipod mini. I love the thing. As with others, I think I'm having troubles with battery life. I have played songs on it for around 2 hours today. At 1.5 hours of playtime, the battery life indicator was nearly empty (NOTE: I have read this article: http://www.vsa.cape.com/~danh/ipod.htm and I understand the "lying" battery life indicator). A half hour after this, the unit shut itself off: the battery's charge had been depleted.
I have been looking at ebay and there is one company selling a battery for under 10 dollars with shipping. They seem to be fairly reputable, claiming to be a top supplier of Ipod products and that the batteries it sells are superior to the ones that originally came with the 1st gen mini Ipods. They claim the batteries they are selling are " Internal Li-Polymer Apple Mini iPod Battery
- 600 mAh (High Capacity)
- 3.7 V "
I have ALSO seen a replacement battery for the Ipod mini claiming the following:
" Voltage: 3.7V 550mAh "
Yet another claims:
...our battery which is made and tested to the highest international standard gives you a capacity of 650 mAh which is 50% more than the original Apple battery. The original Apple iPod part number is EC003. This is a brand new high-quality generic (non-OEM) battery."
My question is has anyone replaced the battery on their 1st gen mini Ipod? What voltage and mAh readings should I get for the battery I buy?
-Phillip

Anyone correct me if i'm wrong here but AFAIK:
Ok, the main thing to look for is the 3.7v rating. the mAh refers to milli-Amp hours, i.e. the amount of charge the battery can hold, not the current it outputs.
As long as it's 3.7v, it's cool. And the bigger the mAh, the better.
Good luck in your replacement.
