Update: It'll show a red light and then if i turn it off and back on it wont show a light unless i wait a while

Seems like the issue lies within the battery being aged to the point where it can't hold a charge

#

given that you recently found it after a while and assuming you didn't do anything to it repair wise

gentle isle Jan 21, 2023, 10:49 PM

#

Yeah, it's just weird.

#

It can show the red light after it being charged for a while and will keep showing a red light

#

And in iTunes it shows fully charged.

#

i’m just confused cause it wouldn’t do this if it was a batt that couldn’t hold a charge.

#

And iTunes shows this.

#

I’m no expert but iTunes would show it fully charged if the battery was holding all the charge it could right?

gentle isle Jan 22, 2023, 4:34 PM

#

Yeah, i think so.

#

I've tested 3 diffrent headphones.

#

I just think it’s weird that it’ll turn on but not make any sound. Doesn’t make sense. Maybe i just don’t know how to start a song or something? I don’t know. Really hoping it’ll just magically work cause i wanna use it for a trip i’m going on.

#

assuming you have the time for it, apple will replace a 4th gen shuffle battery for 40$

gentle isle Jan 22, 2023, 11:00 PM

#

Huh.

#

That’s expensive.

restive gyro Jan 22, 2023, 11:00 PM

#

there are also 3rd part options out there

#

although its something i haven't looked into that much actually

#

i heard the shuffles are on the same tier of difficulty as many of the ipod nanos to service

#

40$ in Denmark is abt. 280kr. I’m not paying that much for a battery replacement. Might as well get a new one and use the old as prop or sum ig. Thanks for trying to help though.

update 3: it now shows a green light after being charged and turns on every time but still no sound. Im gonna try to clean the headphone jack cause it looks dirty

#

@gentle isle did you ever manage to resolve this? im having the exact same issue

gentle isle May 21, 2023, 7:45 AM

#

Oh

#

Well, it works completely fine now

#

Do you have any music loaded onto it?

surreal fox May 21, 2023, 11:10 AM

#

Yeah

surreal fox May 21, 2023, 12:22 PM

#

Attempted to clean the headphone jack but it didn’t seem to help

gentle isle May 26, 2023, 5:25 AM

#

oh

#

well

#

how did you clean it?

#

i used a q tip with isopropyl alcohol

#

it works perfectly now

#

i’d say give it a fat charge for like 2 hours and see if it works

#

are you using headphones with a microphone?

surreal fox May 26, 2023, 7:18 PM

#

no just regular headphones. i tried some isopropyl but I’ll be a bit more thorough to give it a shot

gentle isle May 29, 2023, 7:53 AM

#

okay

#

does the light turn on?

#

like when you are charging

surreal fox May 30, 2023, 11:00 PM

#

yeah it does, and it stays on when unplugged

gentle isle Jun 2, 2023, 8:45 PM

#

have you tried plugging headphones in, then choosing shuffle? maybe clicking play?

surreal fox Jun 4, 2023, 6:00 PM

#

yeah
