Ipod doc recharge

simmey

I have a JBL ipod doc and it doesn't recharge my ipod when docked, does anyone know if I'm doing something wrong?

lucylucky

Is it meant to?

Daft question I know but some docks don't

simmey

Yes it is supposed to recharge, I've just reread the spec

Odd indeed then.

Are you able to try another ipod to see if that gets charged?

simmey

Yes, tried 2 ipods, got a nano and touch, it isn't charging either.

Do you get an error message on the iPod screen which says something like "Charging not possible with this accessory"?

If so, there's nothing you can do. Apple changed the pin layout of the dock connector a while ago and some older docks (and older iPod speaker systems etc) won't charge newer iPods.

Is it a mains unit that can run on batteries as well? I have a logitech that will only charge the phone when it's plugged in.

simmey

I'm not getting an error message on either ipod and it is mains or battery, it doesn't charge on mains or battery. It charged in the shop when I went to buy it, they let me try them all out before I bought.

If it worked in the shop and now doesn't I would take it back pronto - sounds like a genuine fault
