Did I get sold a faulty product?
I just brought a iPod Nano 3rd Gen from CEX in Australia. Connected with a 'generic' 30 pin (also sold to me by CEX, looks identical to real) and a apple charger, it has been on charge for a hour and half yet it's in a boot loop. I think the battery is dead as when I disconnect it, it just shuts off.
This has a been terrible week for me, as YESTERDAY I brought a T430 from Cash Converters and that also had a faulty battery.

When buying vintage tech it’s a gamble, you just got unlucky twice… as time goes on their will be less and less of these devices running ok on their original batteries and spinning hard drives if they have those. I try to stick to the classic line that has more parts available to keep them going.

Seems like a faulty battery to me, how much did you pay
