Why Does My Ipod Nano Only Work When Plugged In Help N't Un But Screen Is Still On R

I have left it plugged into ac power overnight, and in the morning it shows it's complete, but when i unplug it, the screen goes dark and the device loses power. If you charge the battery while syncing or using ipod nano, it might take longer to charge Ive had my ipod nano 4th gen for a while now, more than 5 years, and it hasnt been charged in a long time and i found it and decided to plug it in and charge it and when i do it turns on and shows the screen that its charging, the only problem is that the only way i can use it is if its plugged in, and as soon as its unplugged it dies

Is this battery supposed to be swollen? The computer will not hold

How can i fix this?

Mine has the same problem, unfortunetly

You can either replece the battery yourself (there are alot of guides on the internet and video tutorials on youtube, but it's a quite dificult and risky task, only do it if you already have experience soldering/fixing eletronics, especially very small ones like the ipod nano) or try to find a pro or computer fixing store willing to. Before using your ipod portable mp3 player you must charge its battery You can do this through your computer or using a standard wall outlet If your ipod works only when it's plugged in and charging, several possible explanations exist.

But after repair i have same problem, my ipod nano 4st generation only work when plug in, and after searching at google an forum i just get answer to replace new battery Please email if you have different answer because i'm sure my battery still working, My ipod only works when plugged in I always keep my ipod plugged into my doc and it plays fine on there and when it comes off the battery life is great
