iPod Classic 6th/7th gen is just like a PS Vita, they are finicky with chargers, most people just recommend sticking with the original. However, they both need a charger that provides 5V - 1A. Anything more than 1A, It does NOT work. You may have luck with older smart phone/tablet usb chargers, even the Vita charger could help. Good luck champ!
@@saoloannathan9011 I am not too sure what you could do with the ipod classic itself but u could make essentially a step down voltage thing that converts any 5v charger into providing just 5V, 1A to the ipod classic. It will sit in-between the ipod classic and charger, think of it as acting as a "pass-through". This item will help, www.pololu.com/product/2831, however there is cheaper alternatives on ebay. The easiest way imo is to just find a smartphone charger, i don't know your complete situation but maybe you could ask around, friends and family if there got a old usb charger lying around. Good Luck!
Maybe in US, also 5 gen dac is different from 7 gen, if you plan on listening to lossless def 6/7 gen, but for average user that on cheap earbuds doesn’t sound as good as the 5 gen, its like the 5 gen have a smooth filter on the music to sound “better” which I don’t like it. In the end its personal taste
@@MA-xd9zl there's no filter on the music it's just a different DAC and mostly it's not true. DACs can sound slightly different but usually not. The gen 6/7 actually have more 'transparent' aka better, more accurate DACs. People just like the 5 because the DAC is worse aka it sounds allegedly slightly warmer. I've owned both types at times and the difference doesn't matter IF you can even tell (most can't)
@@escapetherace1943 I know, I said filter just to explain how it sounds, cause it doesn’t sound as clear as the 6/7 gen, the dac on the 5 also adds a lot of grain to it. I have both and will probably end up selling the 5.5.
@@MA-xd9zl I have always thought cleaner sounding dacs were better and if you want color to the sound to EQ it or use a particular set of headphones. I think a lot of earbuds in the early 2000s had very little bass response and perhaps the 5.5 got a reputation for sounding better, but I own a 5.5 and a nano with the colder dac and honestly I don't care which one I use
@@escapetherace1943 indeed, I had the 6 gen but decided to get back to iPods and got a couple more to mod etc, and with that got a pair of kiwi cadenzas which seemed a good deal for the price and sound quality and with that it’s clear the difference in sound, with the 7 is like I’m in the studio listening to them play the song, while the 5 maybe I’d compare to being in a small venue concert. So for Iem definitely the 6/7gen but for the car etc the 5 sounds a lot alike.
Moonlit market has the Ultimate MOD for Ipod! USB C that can also send and recieve data after a small modis made, Better codec with Blu Tooth and ohter goodies to pimp you Ipod out!

@@ThatsSoM0 is there anything to fix this other than buying a new charger?

milliamp per hour?
well it claims "3000mah" but i am not too sure on how accurate that bit of text is on the ol battery ;) 🤣😂
Why pay 100 usd for a mainboard when getting an actual ipod 7th gen is cheaper.

No need to modify it for Bluetooth, there many Bluetooth adapters you can get...
