30 gig video 5th generation ipod

  • The ipod only works when connected to the wall charger (that I bought from Apple), it shuts down as soon as I unplug it, even after attempting to recharge it for several hours.
  • When using it (powered using the wall charger that is), I can still listen to music no problem, but the display on the screen scrolls slowly, and wraps around. Note: I tried to replace the battery, but nothing changed. However it was a cheapo I bought off ebay.

Try replacing the battery again with a nice one from iFixit.
