Hello, for a few days I haven't been able to use my nice iPod 4g.

It charges fine when I plug it into my Sony Dream Machine Dock, but when I plug it into the computer via USB, it will not charge, and when I use the USB with my wall adapter, it still wont charge.

Even worse, I have a tethered jailbreak, therefore I need to plug it into the computer to boot up.

-I have tried 2 different USB cables, and 2 different computers.
-I've tried a soft reset (holding the home+power button for 6 sec)
-And I've even called Apple, and they don't know either.

It gets weirder, when I plug it into the computer, it comes up with the dead battery indicator. So it is being recognized, but not charging...?

Any ideas? I don't want to replace my battery.. ):

Thanks in advance.

NEVER MIND! FIXED IT!
It just started working??? lol

The funny thing is, after 1 week of it not working, I just plugged it into the computer 5 min ago, and it looked to be doing the same thing, however eventually it began to boot up!!! Weird, a few days earlier I left it in for almost an hour and it did not charge.
Perhaps there was dust in the ports.
