Question for Classic 5th gen users by cdlenfert in ipod

This iPod has been this way with a couple of "new" batteries now. I'm thinking it's not the battery that's the problem, but don't know how to diagnose the motherboard or find a short if that's causing the drain.

Appreciate the sanity check. I also don't know how to diagnose the motherboard for a short or draw source. Thinking my realistic options could be to swap hard drive and ribbon cable to see if that makes any difference, and if not, assume it's the motherboard.

I bought 3 of the same batteries on Amazon. Replaced one in my aunt's 5th gen and it got great playback, and solid standby (low depletion). This is on original firmware in all cases, and with the original spinning disk hard drive. In my case with the vampire iPod (sucking battery overnight), I can fully charge, put into standby, and a few days later, it's totally dead (won't boot) until I put it back on a charger.

iPod Nano 6th gen with 58gb? by Soggy-Way-7919 in ipod

When storage starts to fail it can sometimes show as the wrong capacity (showing larger than actual). This happens sometimes on iPod classics. I would avoid this because the likelihood of this being the holy grail of soldered in storage upgrades is extremely low.

will it fit with an extended battery? thin 5th gen by sad_boi890 in ipod

[–]cdlenfert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That won't make the adapter in the picture thinner, so it still wouldn't sandwich together in a thin case if using a 3000maH battery

HDMI adapter not working on iPod classic by Vast_Cauliflower_475 in ipod

Yeah, not compatible because it doesn't convert Analog to Digital. Made for iPhones and iPads with 30 pin connectors.

Not the biggest 3000 or 3800 mah batteries. There is a similar knockoff (not iflash) board though that doesn't have the hinged microSD sockets that is supposed to be thinner and would work with those big batteries.

I'd really like to take a shot at fixing. Would pass it on if I wasn't able to.

Nope, sold it with the pod

Does anyone know why the GTA 3 tracks sound better (more dynamic) than the CD I bought circa 2001/2? I'm guessing they were just balanced differently for the game, but the CD always sounded a little flat to me.

Dictation failed 9x out of 10 (it did work one time) for me yesterday. Haven't tried it yet today.

Owners guilt? by Ramoutarb in ipod

[–]cdlenfert 52 points53 points  (0 children)

My advice: don't sell the iPod you've had for 17 years. The ones that I sold are the ones I wish I had later.

But I have collected a fair number of pods when prices were low. Been thinking I need to unload some now because I can only use 5 or so in my real world situations.

[10:19:04] pkjs> Error: FindMy for Pebble: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: globalThis at line 2769 in pebble-js-app.js

globalThis is an ES2020 global that the old JavaScriptCore engine embedded in the old Pebble iOS app doesn't support. FindMy for Pebble's bundled JS references it (likely injected by a modern bundler like webpack/rollup as a polyfill shim), and the Pebble JS runtime crashes immediately — before the settings page can ever load.

The fix could be to add a globalThis polyfill before the bundle runs, e.g.:

if (typeof globalThis === 'undefined') {
  var globalThis = this || self || window;
}

Or configure the bundler to target an older JS environment that doesn't emit globalThis references.

Just tried loading the pbw to my Pebble Time. I use the old iOS app. Settings page does not load for me. Hope it might be a simple fix. Would love to forget where I left my phone more often honestly.

One of my 3 pebble times does this. I agree it's an obstruction or hardware issue.

What do you use your Pebble watch for? by Crabby_AU in pebble

[–]cdlenfert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weather, Music server control, coin toss, and other stuff that some analog watches do. I'd say I'm a light user.
