iPod Shuffle 2nd Generation: Not turning on, despite full charge

Sat, 24 Jul 2021 14:30:26 -0700

My iPod has no issue connecting to my computer, connecting to iTunes, syncing, and charging. However, when I unplug it from the computer it no longer works. No matter what I do, there is no status light, no sound, nothing. The power switch definitely works, as the charging light is responding to input from the power switch.

iPod Shuffle 3rd Generation: Volume very low from shuffle. Used to be fine...

Tue, 14 May 2019 05:49:51 -0700

Hello, refound my shuffle after about a year and charged it up, plugged in the headphone and now I can't increase volume, I can barely hear the music.

Never had a problem before so thought fault lay with the headphones, bought a new pair and issue still there.

Any ideas…..?

iPod Shuffle 4th Generation: I washed my Shuffle in the laundry... is there any hope?

Tue, 25 Dec 2018 15:24:17 -0700

Being the idiot I am, I washed my Shuffle. In the laundry machine. With detergent. While it was still on. And I didn't even notice I had washed it (as in: it was still on) until about an hour after the wash cycle ended.

I left it alone to dry for a week in the open air, but it responds to nothing. What else can I do to save my Shuffle, if saveable?

iPod Shuffle 2nd Generation: How do I fix/repair the power jack for my iPod?

Sun, 07 Dec 2014 19:45:26 -0700

Hi, when I connect my ipod to a docking station (which is connected to my laptop), it will not charge, or be recognised either by my pc or by itunes.

== Other Info

I have one Apple docking stn, but the jack broke off (it was in my bag), however it still works to an extent, in that, when I plug in the ipod, the ipod flashes orange for about 4 blinks (sometimes erratically), but then isn't recognised at all by the computer.

I own another docking stn, I think its just a generic make. This one lights up when you plug it into the pc, and usually when I plug my ipod in, the computer recognises a USB device but nothing more than that.

Thanks in advance, hope someone can help. :)

iPod Shuffle 2nd Generation: Battery voltage circuit check, whats the circuit on the battery side?

Tue, 26 Oct 2010 23:39:28 -0700

I have an iPod Shuffle 2G torn down to the open circuit and am checking voltages before spending the money replacing the battery. I want to make sure it isn't something else wrong with the Shuffle.

Between the battery and the main logic circuit board, there is an intermediary circuit (part of the battery assembly). I get a reading off of the battery directly before this board, but not when reading off of the other side of it (on the logic circuit board side). What is this intermediary board for? And why is it not passing voltage through?

Part numbers:

Left black chip on intermediary board:
M 6093 W7L1
Right black chip on intermediary board:
8410100 B01-0
