Hello,
I’m the new owner of a 1st Gen iPod with 5GB storage. But it has a problem.
When I connect the iPod to the Power-Adapter with the FireWire-Cable, the iPod restarts and after the restart it shows a checkmark and say „OK to disconnect“. My working iPod (also 1st gen, 5GB) doesn’t restart, it just shows a charging battery-meter and keeps on playing the music.
When the iPod is charging in the "OK to disconnect"-Mode the rear panel/ the battery is getting very hot.
When I connect the iPod to my Macbook Pro (using a 400 to 800 FireWire-Adapter), the iPod restarts (that is normal!) and after the restart it shows the a checkmark and say „OK to disconnect“. My working iPod shows less than 1 second „OK to disconnect“ and then quickly says „Do not disconnect“.
A full charged battery (1 tried 2 new ones) looses the whole charge after 1 day!
The Disk Mode doesn’t work either! I tried different cables and computers.
The FireWire port is working correctly, all 6 pins are properly soldered. I guess there is a defect at the motherboard, but I down’t know how to find out!
Can someone help me?
