iPod Classic Problem - Won't switch off!
Voodoo Child
07-09-2012
Hi guys,

I've had my iPod classic (80GB) since Summer 2008 without a problem. All of a sudden it suddenly won't switch off? So the battery will run it's self down to nothing and then once I charge it up, it won't go off? It keeps displaying the charging option in the corner too.

I've tried resetting it the manual way and also doing the reboot via iTunes but no avail ... does anybody have any tips?

As it's 4 years old have I missed out on any Apple guarantees? The furthest I can get them to go back is 2009 online ... what happened to a long investment? Technology that is so highly priced such as iPod's should surely have a longer life ... If it is broken and I have to buy a new one it's a horrible cycle as I'll be forced to get an iPod rather than an MP3 player as so much of my music is on iTunes.

"I'll be forced to get an iPod rather than an MP3 player as so much of my music is on iTunes."

Surely you can just copy and paste them to any device all anywhere you want.

And if you are dab hand with a soldering iron, an easy fix is to make your own battery switch.

The potential snag with Ipad is that it has buttons and physical connections. I suppose yourt on/off switch is on the blink. My guies is that you turn it fully off most times you use it, as do I.

Take it in to the Apple shop and get it repaired. My guess is that they will do it on the spot.
