Hello community - i replaced the battery in my ipod classic, old style /thick. All went well but still no life. It is old and I thought the drive was ok - never a problem with it, I thought. The old battery # was 616-0232. New one is the same. What gives? It the drive toast? Thanks for any help. Paul / Michigan

Bought both batteries from iFixit. Neither ipod is yt to work. ☹️ Do I need new drives?

Where did you buy the new battery from?
