iPod Shuffle 1st Generation: My iPod went through washing machine. Won't play mp3 files.

Tue, 19 Jan 2021 07:53:08 -0700

When I plug it into the Air USB port, its contents are readable and replaceable. But when I install new songs/synch, it won’t play. I’m not sure but does not seem to take a charge. New battery? Logic board? Both?

Thanks!

iPod Shuffle 1st Generation: Why doesn't mine play music or do anything

Sat, 21 Nov 2020 17:17:53 -0700

My 1st gen ipod shuffle 512 mb (not hp just normal) won’t play music when turned on, it just gives me a green light (with headphones plugged in) and i know i have music on it so it should be playing. when plugged into the computer it doesn’t register properly, with a bootex file and iPod_Control being pale white in the menu, showing that it is a copy pasted file. i don’t have itunes because it won’t download properly so i won’t for now (i want to download either 10.6.3 or 11.4 so i can actually use it with ios 6)

iPod Shuffle 1st Generation: Need a replacement hold switch cover - UK

Fri, 23 Aug 2019 01:09:05 -0700

Hi All,

I recently obtained an iPod Shuffle 1st Gen with a bad battery and a missing hold switch cover. I have replace the battery and it works well but am struggling to locate a white plastic hold switch. It looks like ifixit used to sell these but they are now out of stock. I’ve also had no luck on sites such as eBay.

Does anybody have one of these parts spare they could send me?

Thank you,

Oliver

Problem solved! I managed to locate the missing part in the shipping envelope, it must have fallen off while in transit! I thought it was always missing the part but I had it all along…

On the topic of replacement parts though, I’ve only been able to find batteries for these units. Apart from eBay have people had any luck locating spares such as memory boards? - I’m tempted to try upgrading the memory capacity of my model!

thank you, Oliver

iPod Shuffle 1st Generation: iPod doesn't show lights/turn on

Tue, 05 May 2015 17:49:57 -0700

Hi folks!

I've already tried everything to bring my ipod back to life. Restored using iTunes including. The lights doesn't work. It seems dead, even then I can charge using iTunes. It accepts music, recognized by iTunes but when I switch buttons to shuffle it doesn't work, it simply doesn't play music. What can I do? could be battery, motherboard, logic or something related?
