I just got a ipod 30gb,when i connect it to my laptop it says usb device not recognized but when i connect anotther mp3 it works it also charges on my ps3 somebody help me wtf

If you are using the same usb cable and did try another mp3 player then it works,it seems charging terminal of you ipod doesn't responding,it might be corroded or might some charging pins are missing,broken or not align located at the bottom.

Please Do this basic steps.

* Clean the charging slot with the use of dry toothbrush,gently brush the entire area of the connector so this will contact the both interface. never use wet toothbrush cause might got short circuit.

* Check all pins in the slot if it is complete or intact. if one or two pins are missing or broken, it takes malfunction to system and connection. You can use magnifying lens to be able to see all pins clearly.

* If the charging slot is totally broken,just advising you to bring it to the apple service center near you for the parts replacement.
