iPod Nano 6th Generation: Why does my Nano keep turning itself off?

Sat, 24 Jul 2021 11:34:37 -0700

I have the 6th generation Nano, and it keeps turning itself off after playing music for about 2 minutes. Battery shows it's charged and good to go. I turn it back on and resume the song that was playing and it goes for about 2 minutes and turns off again. I have looked on Apple's website and others for answer to this problem but have not seen any questions pertaining to this problem. Any ideas?

iPod Nano 6th Generation: tried to replace the screen but now iPod doesn't work

Sun, 20 Mar 2016 15:06:47 -0700

Hi, i wonder if you could help me... I changed my cracked screen (my ipod worked even though the screen was broken) but then when I assembled the ipod ( I did everything like in the manual) but it doesn't work, nor does my computer recognize it anymore. Would you happen to know what might be the problem? Have I unintentionally somehow damaged it?

iPod Nano 6th Generation: New nano refuses to switch on, even when plugged into computer. Why?

Sat, 01 Aug 2015 11:29:03 -0700

Brand new- 5/oct/2010. It was working fine the day before. It doesn't switch on even when it's plugged into the computer. iTunes says that there's an unknown fault (1437). I think that it's either the battery or something worse. Help?

iPod Nano 6th Generation: Backlight Not Working, Possibly From Humidity

Sun, 18 Mar 2018 13:58:54 -0700

I recently traded in my Ipod Nano 1st generation for a 6th generation one through Apple. It worked great for a few weeks, no problems. But one day the backlight randomly quit working. I can still see the menu items and such on the screen, and everything works fine EXCEPT FOR THE BACKLIGHT. I have to have it under a very bright light at just the right angle to be able to see anything that's on the screen. I tried taking the screen off and disconnecting the cables and putting everything back together, but to no avail. Still no backlight. I also tried putting it in a bag of rice for about a month, because I had taken the Ipod into the bathroom with me when I showered once and left it on the counter, I believe it got some humidity damage. Inside the headphone jack the circle that says if it was damaged by water is half orange half white, indicating it does have water damage. Is my only solution to replace the entire screen? I don't really have $70 laying around...any help is appreciated.

iPod Nano 6th Generation: Why do my songs only play for 45 seconds?

Fri, 23 Dec 2011 17:05:01 -0700

Ever since the last time I synced with my computer my songs will only play for about 40 seconds, then go off. I have to hit the button to bring the screen back up, it is on the "Play" screen. I can hit the play arrow and the song begins playing again from the exact spot that it stopped. I have tried re-syncing it without any improvement.

iPod Nano 6th Generation: iPod Nano 6th Generation LCD Adhesive Recommendation?

Sun, 19 Mar 2017 03:49:35 -0700

Hi all,

I just replaced an LCD on my nano. Looks good. Works fine. Only problem I am experiencing it with the adhesive. I bought the custom precut adhesives from ebay but they seem a bit too narrow. When placed on the ipod they seem to sit a little below in the recessed area so the LCD doesn't make enough contact with it to stick.

Anyone have any adhesive recommendations?

Thanks!
