My iPod only works docked in Apple Hi-Fi

I send it to Apple and they have return it saying that it's damaged by liquid (?). I don't know how liquid has arrived to it, but the more strange thing is that it works fine docked in my Apple Hi-Fi speakers but when I undocked it my iPod it's death. Can anybody help me to repair it or tell me what's the problem?
Thank you

Sounds like it got wet.... It doesn't take much moisture to damage small electronics. And, depending on what parts got wet and what got corroded, you can see all sorts of different problems. In you case, it might be that the battery charging circuitry got fried.

Ipod only works in fm transmitter

my ipod only works when plugged into the fm transmitter. Once i remove it, it turns off and i can't get it to turn back on. It also isn't being recognized when i plug into computer everything from my itunes is still there but the ipod won't even turn on. When plugged into the transmitter the apple first comes on then the menu.When i turn it off everything on the screen slowly fades away. HELP!! thanks

This exact thing happened to my first gen touch. Sadly, I don't have good news for you. First side of the earphone jack stopped working. A few weeks later the headphone jack wouldn't work at all. (Using the docking slot along the bottom still worked fine the whole time, just as you said.) Unfortunately it's not possible to replace the headphone jack without replacing other major components inside the touch so it's very expensive to repair. I could not fix the problem and had to buy a new touch.

My iPod only works when plugged into a wall socket!

Anyone know why my iPOD only works when plugged into a wall outlet? I tried it on the Bose docking station and also my MacBook and it won't work!
Any ideas??

Sounds like a dead battery. You can have Apple swap out the battery for a flat fee or you can send it to a third party service center to have them do the same for job a little less.

"my ipod only works when its charged."
Then it sounds like a battery problem.
Try these.
My iPod won't turn on.
iPod has no power and appears frozen.
iPod battery doesn't charge.
If none of the above help, then it may be an issue that requires service.
You can arrange online service here.
Service request.
Or if an Apple store is near you, take it there and have them check your iPod.

My ipod only goes to the apple screen and freezes then turns off after about a minute. Is this fixable?

Try a system reset. It's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

IPod only works in iHome docking station - nothing else (USB, power outlet, other docking stations)

This just started last week after I'd loaded some songs to my iPod from my laptop and it wouldn't play or display anything.
My iPod Classic only works when connected to iHome docking station and then it seems to work fine. It won't work when connected to another docking station, to laptop through USB or to power outlet. I restored while it was on iHome docking station but that didn't seem to correct anything. When I've tried to restore off the iHome, the screen flickers endlessly and nothing appears.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Long live the Classic! (Hopefully)

Volume control problem with 30GB iPod 3G, Universal Dock, and Apple Remote

I just hooked up my 30GB iPod 3G to the Universal Doc and tried the my new Apple remote. The only buttons on the remote that work in controlling my iPod while on the dock are the play/pause and the skip forward and back buttons.
For some reason the volume up and down buttons don't adjust the volume on my iPod while it's on the dock. Any ideas? Shouldn't the volume up and down work? Or do they only work on the newer iPods?
Any info appreciated.

btabz,
Thanks for your response. No the iPod doesn't respond at all--the volume display doesn't come up or change.
When I press the play/pause or either skip forward or back on the remote, the iPod, while on the dock, lights up and responds to the command as it should. But when I press volume up or down on the remote the iPod does not respond at all.
According to Apple's store info on the remote, the volume up/down controls should work. I am wondering if maybe it doesn't work with the 3Gs for some reason. But if that is the case, Apple should indicate that. It is kind of frustrating to not be able to adjust the volume.
Thanks,

Ipod only works in one ear. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

My first generation ipod touch only works in one headphone. I've tried 10 different pairs of headphones but with all of them the sound only plays in the left ear. It works in both speakers when i plug it into the speaker that connects to its wider slot (the opening on the ipod next to where the headphones are plugged in) but when i use a cord that connects to the headphone slot that lets me play my ipod on my cars speakers it only works on the left side speaker.
I don't know what's wrong with it and i really need your help, so PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!

My ipod only works 1meter away from router

My ipod touch only works 1meter away from my BT Hub, how far should the wifi signal reach? my PC works at least14meters away, please help!

Does it perform the same with other networks?
1 meter is too short . Is the PC 4 or 14 meters? 4 meters is too short too
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:

If still problem with all networks then make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Help! My iMessage doesn't work on my new iPhone 5s, I've changed my sim twice, but iMessage only works with my Apple ID.

Recently got a new iPhone 5s and the iMessage doesn't work. I tried the sim in another phone and it didn't work either so I put a completely new sim in my iPhone and iMessage doesn't work. It will only work when I use my Apple ID for received messages. I don't know what to do. I have reset everything and it still doesn't work. My software is up to date. Please help!

ACTIVATING FACETIME AND IMESSAGES
Activating Facetime and Imessages on your phone requires the ability to send SMS messages and depending upon where you are that might be an international SMS. Check with your carrier to see if your plan supports sending of international SMS messages. If you are having trouble activating Facetime or Imessages turn them both off on your device and reset the device (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost)). Wait for the device to restart and wait a minute and turn Facetime and imessage back on and wait for activation. If that does not fix things read the following articles:

IPod only works while plugged into computer!

Help! My 2Gb iPod nano went through the washing machine, and after a few days of drying out, it only works while plugged into the computer. As soon as I take it out, the screen goes blank. I can access all my music, podcasts and photos while it's plugged in. I have tried the 5 Rs to no avail. Anybody have any ideas?

I also sent my nano through the wash and I found that if you get an ac adapter and plug it in for a few hours you will have battery life. This made me very happy however I have noticed that I can not turn the ipod off unless the hold button is on. Battery life is also not as long but long enough for me. Hope this helps

My ipod only works on my docking station. Any help would be great!

I have a 4GB ipod I got in Dec. and I got a docking station in May and I use them all the time. Well I left my ipod plugged into the docking station for a couple days, and it works fine on it, but when I tried to connect my ipod to my computer,it just blinked with an apple and a line over and over again. I tried turning it on to listen with my headphones and I got absolutely nothing, it did not turn on at all. I have tried everything that apple.com provided and nothing has worked so far, so anybody that might know how to fix this, please help!
Thanx

Hi Blane756,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has steps for a different issue, a gray screen at startup, that I think would still be worth trying for your freezing issues:
