iPod mini, wants to be wall-charged, but won't react.
Howdy all,
ok,
so i updated my friend's mini and of course it wants to be plugged into a wall charger. No big deal, as I have one. But it doesn't recognise the wall-charger (and no, the wall-charger definitely isn't faulty).
the real downer is that the computer won't recognise it while the iPod requests to be wall-charged, so i can't restore it, or update it.
anyone got any ideas?
i know the battery on this mini is really pokey, and im thinking about replacing it, but i dont know if it will then recognise the wall-charger.
thanks for reading, i'll continue trawling the forums and the net for a solution, but in the meantime, if you can help, please speak up = )

But ive thought of a better way to summarise the problem
My computer won't recognise the iPod until it has been wall-charged, and the iPod won't recognise the wall charger
Jeez, im in a bit of a pickle. The iPod is now in a state of the living dead, it can turn on, but it can't do anything. And it's not mine, it's a friend's (i borrowed it while my Shuffle was being serviced).
Im no iPod newbie, but this has me stumped!

Try going through the steps recommended by Apple:

No, see you're forgetting that the computer doesn't recognise the iPod. The iPod wants to be wall-charged, but doesn't recognise the wall charger. So i can only perform the first R (restarting the iPod, which just brings up the Apple logo, and then the wall-charge icon).
I can't update, reformat or restore the iPod if the computer doesnt recognise it.
thanks for the suggestion though = )
