My bose docking station doesnt charge my i pod also when its plugged into the wall my remote doesnt work and still doesnt charge

Sounds like the uplink got damaged did it get bent? or crushed when trying to put ipod on dock?
uplink is the metal connector on the dock

Hello, The problem is that some of the pins onteh docking connector are shorting to others. Shorting the supply on you ipod. Don't do it!

Diagnostic videos and spares for the Bose SoundDock. There are several builds of the Bose SoundDock Original that look identical from the outside. If you visit invebo.com and enter your dock serial number you get access to the resources that tell you which version the dock's internal hardware you have in your dock, diagnostic and self repair videos and what kits you should buy to fix or upgrade to charge or Bluetooth wireless streaming. All spares are supplied on a no-risk 'buy and try' basis.

The problem could be your dock resetting if itis a type B build. I suggest you visit www.invebo.com and enter your dock serial number. (Several builds of Sounddock look identical butthe internal hardware is different) You get access to diagnostic and repair videos and it tells you what pods and phones your dock is compatible with. Also there is a diagnostic video that helps you decide what's wrong and kits and detailed instruction videos that lets you fix the problem yourself. If your dock connector is faulty than you can fit the charge upgrade or upgrade to Bluetooth on a Bose SoundDock Original for less that the cost of a repair. All kits you get a new docking connector of the later, tougher design included in the kit.

Easy, I had this problem too. The reason it isn't playing is because its not in all the way. I was getting very frustrated with this, so I kept trying to push it onto the dock to get it all the way down.
Solution:
1. Play a song on your ipod/iphone so you can hear it through the device.
2. Connect your ipod/iphone to the docking station(Bose) so that you hear the chime(This lets you know its charging).
3. Pick up the docking station and firmly press the ipod/iphone down on the connector.
4. Keep pressing it and wiggling around until you hear the music begin to play through the docking station.
It may take a few tries, but you will get it.
Hope this helped!

different ipod generations have different shapes for their chargers i mean the angle of the ipod is different when u buy an ipod it comes with a white piece that has an eccentric hole in the middle put this down b4 putting the ipod in it may work now but u may have broken the usb access port for the bose

You need to reset your ipod. You can go online to find out how to do this. I had to do it with mine and then it worked perfectly.

ipod classic will be charge by running itunes programs... now it you dont use itunes, you cannot charge it,...

The new SoundDock II charges your new iPod touch and is fully compatible all iPods and the iPhone 3G. Also the SoundDock Portable will do this. But..
Better news-> Call Bose. They can upgrade the 30-pin connector to charge via USB-only and function with the remote as well. $99. This will make your iPod touch 100% compatible and somewhat future-proof your SoundDock. If the SoundDock was purchased within 90 days (at full retail price), they will do the upgrade for a smaller fee or even free I think.. (new 1 year warranty given with repair/mod) btw- This is an Apple issue, not a Bose issue. All 3rd party iPod connection devices had to make this change at some point.

If it's over 5 years old, it won't work. Sorry budd

wall or computer charge it
