Battery replaced with a new one but still not showing a full charge?
My iPod Nano 5th generation was not turning on so I took it to a 3rd party vendor to get it fixed. They replaced the battery for a new one. Now, when I charge it for a long time (over 24 hours), it stays on when it's unplugged but it's only showing a charge of between 25-50% so it's not staying fully charged.
What's the deal? Is it unfixable?

Are you using it with a Mac or PC?

I am using it with a PC. But I have tried charging it several different places...in two spots with wall adapters and on the computer.

I'd give the battery a few cycles... charge it as much as it will go and then drain it until the device turns off a few times...

Thanks Alex. I might try that but not sure that will work. I just didn't want to have to take it to the 3rd party vendor again. I called them and they told me to bring it back (they have a 90 day policy to where they will refund if they can't fix it). Didn't really want to have to take it back there again but not sure your option will work. I can at least give it a shot though.

So update: I took it back to the 3rd party vendor. They just emailed me saying it's "unrepairable". I called them and they said the guy that made the note isn't around so they couldn't give me more information than that. Just frustrated...
