iPod displays battery symbol & lightning bolt?
XX-RACH-XX asked:
My iPod classic wount turn on. When i do plug into my mac or into the mains adapter it does nothing until i reset it, at which point it will display a battery symbol with a lightning bolt at one end which disapears after a couple of minutes. I gather this means it’s very low on charge and is in a kind of ‘warm-up’ mode but i’ve left it plugged into both my mac and adapter for several hours and still nothing.
Is the battery screwed & if so, will I have to rip the disk out and put it in a caddy to back up my data as I have no backup and want my music/photos off it.

The lightning bolt just means it’s charging. Usually when it’s fully charged it changes to a little plug to show that it’s still plugged in, but if the lightning bolt never goes away then it’s probably toast.
