Need serious help with my ipod

Question

My ipod 5th generation 30GB always displays the charged symbol even when its not plugged in. the ipod works fine but the screen is always on displaying this symbol. this eats my battery life.

I have tried resetting, restoring and updating but its still the same thing. I need help please!!

Answer 1

my ipod mini has this same problem....i havent been able to find a solution...i even restored it a couple of timess...i think its something wrong with the motherboard which makes the ipod think that it is connected to a power source all the time

the only way to use this ipod is to continue to charge it after it loses charge, or get a new ipod

Answer 2

put the ipod into disk mode and restore from there. try restoring on a different computer or a different user on the current computer. if this issue persists, i would believe you are having a hardware error which runs about 136 bucks for apple to fix
