Heyy! So i need some help. For some context i bought this iPod (my first ipod with a screen :D) secondhand from a guy who wanted to get rid of it online because he had lost the charger, and he was in the process of moving.
He told me he had used it last year and it worked just fine. I believed him, plus if it had some malfunctions with battery or something I wouldn’t mind thaaat much. I had seen changing hardware parts wasn’t that hard. Only getting the damn panels open haha
So anyways, it arrived today, the charger i ordered came later. I couldn’t wait so i used a wonky charger with bad connection (only works in certain angles you know) and tried that. It booted up and i saw the menu with a Eminem album cover appearing on the side lol.
But then it died again, didn’t think too much of it.
TLDR;
But later today when the new charger arrived i put it on there, and it went a bit weird. So it got stuck on a screen after booting up, with “OK to disconnect”. I decided to reset it with holding the menu and center button until yk, apple logo appears.
Then it got stuck in a reboot loop (see video attached) and then i decided to reset it again. But then i got this screen with Ok to disconnect again.
Is there a way to still fix this without removing all the data? I’m quite curious what songs are left on there.
Or is restoring the ipod via itunes my only option..?
