60 GB iPod won't recharge

Hello, I have a 5th generation, about 13 months old, and the battery appeared to go on it. I purchased a replacement battery and installed it. the iPod worked fine fo a day. The battery drained and I plugged it in to re-charge, the icon displayed and I unhooked it 4 hours later. battery still showed dead, purchaes a wall charger. Plugged it in, showed it was re-charging (icon displayed), when the charger was done. The battery still hadn't re-charged. have no idea what's wrong...any help out there.

Appreciate your assistance, unfortunately, when I opened the iPod back up, the small part that connects the battery ribbon to the motherboard fell off, so i can't say for sure if it would have worked but come to think of it, that piece already seemed loose when I originally opened it up. Perhaps, that's why my stock battery stopped charging in the first place. Not sure if the iPod is fixable now. Thanks again.

Probably, when you replaced the battery, you didn't properly inserted its contact to the board connector, so just open the ipod again and re-install it, make sure it's all the way down into connector

Dead not connect charging

If the rechargeable battery is more than 3 - 4 years old then the battery could be worn out. Rechargeable batteries have a finite number of charge and discharge cycles and will lose their charge capacity over time, i.e. won't charge to 100% and gradually the charge reduces until the battery won't charge up at all. OR The battery shows a 100% charge but when the adapter is disconnected the battery drops off to zero capacity in a very short time. If the battery drops to an unacceptable charge level then the battery needs to be replaced. Rechargeable batteries will fail if stored in a discharged state for long periods.

The 5th Generation iPod (iPod video) were made and sold in 2005. Batteries inside iPods tend to last 2 to 3 years (4 if you hardly use them). It could be time to replace the battery inside your iPod.

Replacing the battery in an Ipod

Yes, you can disassemble a 5th gen and replace your battery, HD, screen, just about any part you wish. What you will need is an "iTool" You can google it or try here Ipodbatterydepot
Or, if you're feeling adventurous you can use some small tools and watch the video - How to disassemble your 5th gen iPod

Once you start dis assembly of the unit you will see almost all of it(besides 6 small screws under the hard drive) un-snaps and snaps back into place again. Hopefully someone will find the vid and info as helpful as I did.

I-Pod wheel broken?

To reset an iPod with a Click Wheel, including:

iPod nano (3rd generation)
iPod classic
iPod (5th generation)
iPod nano (2nd generation)
iPod nano
iPod with color display (iPod photo)
iPod (Click Wheel)
iPod mini
iPod mini (2nd generation)

Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 8 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.

Tip: If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep.
