The title was an experiment in psychology; the topic is really quite boring and I don't have pics.
My iPod 4th gen decided to stop charging via USB. When I plug her in, she will oscillate between the large, dead battery icon and trying to boot up - which fails after a few seconds.
This seems to have occured suddenly since my battery would usually last at least 3-4 hours. Do you think this is a dead battery problem or a deciding-not-to-charge-via-usb anymore problem?
Technical notes: The battery does not warm up when trying to be charged. The debug menu states 'CHGRING' when I have the usb cable connected and also detects when it's removed. I have tried multiple cables, multiple usb ports and multiple computers to no avail.
See I'm tossing up whether I should be buying a new battery or a firewire cable off ebay to fix the problem (I will report back with the solution of course).
Please advise.
