[00:29:33] copper: what's the impedance of these IEMs? [00:30:05] I'm wondering if this might be a problem with the codec's charge pumps not supplying enough power on the negative rail [01:48:53] *** Quits: TheSeven (~quassel@rockbox/developer/TheSeven) (Ping timeout: 252 seconds) [01:50:36] *** Joins: TheSeven (~quassel@rockbox/developer/TheSeven) [02:43:14] <[Saint]> copper: No I/O noise w/ SSD-ified Video, with or without the amp. Neither on my IEMs or the quite picky POS headphones I have. [02:44:36] <[Saint]> It would be interesting to introduce some form of shielding between the adapter plate and the card, in your case, but I wouldn't ask you to do so. [02:47:52] <[Saint]> The UE18s are 21Ohm, and the massive crappy headphones I have are 250Ohm if I remember rightly.

I'm up to http://freemyipod.org/wiki/EmCORE_Installation/iPodClassic/UMSboot and Windows is asking that my iPod's HDD should be formatted, would this be ok? [08:21:50] otherwise I don't think I can select the drive in the Rockbox Utility [08:22:23] you can't use the Rockbox utility to install emCORE [08:22:35] and no, don't let windows format the "drive" [08:22:45] *** Quits: [Saint] (~saint@rockbox/staff/saint) (Remote host closed the connection) [08:23:10] I thought emCORE was already installed and through that, I had to install Rockbox, going by the wiki [08:23:38] *** Quits: krnlyng (~liar@83.175.90.24) (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) [08:23:41] did you copy the ubi file yet? [08:23:46] yeah [08:24:01] at what step are you exactly? [08:24:11] " In the configuration dialog, select your iPod's location, then tick the Show disabled targets checkbox " [08:25:18] did you see emcore on the ipod format the HDD? [08:25:31] yes [08:25:58] I don't know why Windows would ask you to format it then [08:26:09] I don't think it's "seeing" it right [08:26:12] is it possible to format through emCORE again? [08:26:17] yes [08:26:23] in the tools menu [08:26:35] *** Joins: [Saint] (~saint@rockbox/staff/saint) [08:26:43] I'm in Rockbox right now, how do I get out? >_> [08:26:54] long press play [08:27:07] aight, shutting down [08:27:48] ok in Tools [08:27:53] but I don't think reformatting will help [08:27:56] :( [08:27:58] though at this point, it won't hurt [08:28:03] yea [08:28:08] Reformat data partition? [08:28:11] yup [08:28:23] all these No [08:28:39] it's to avoid accidental formatting [08:28:46] there's a "yes" in the middle [08:28:57] yeah, found it humerous lol [08:29:34] oh nice [08:29:38] can access the drive via windows [08:29:46] really? weird [08:29:50] Alright, back on track! [08:30:16] so, you reformatted and booted Rockbox and connected the iPod via USB again? [08:30:23] yes [08:30:26] kay [08:30:32] well, there you go :) [08:30:52] Thank you very much for the help, I appreciate it.

I see "emCORE v0.2.3 r859", followed by the briefest flash of "Loading emCORE..." and that's it. I don't think I can get to recovery mode in that time, can I? Any help would be greatly appreciated. [13:29:28] empty battery? [13:29:52] plug the iPod into a USB charger on a wall socket [13:29:57] No. High 90%, I'm sure. Was full before database gen. [13:30:26] I think that happened to me too a while ago, but I can't remember how I fixed it [13:30:36] I plugged into my PC, and it just does that cycling. It won't do it now unless it is plugged in, in fact. [13:30:41] though I think my battery was completely discharged [13:30:56] it won't do it when not plugged in? [13:30:59] what does it do then? [13:31:37] H'm... Maybe I'm wrong about the battery then... It did for a few minutes, then the time between power on's started to increase till it was seemingly dead. Until I plugged it in. [13:33:07] It's also making a disturbing ticking noise at each start-up (plugged in now)... Like morse code or something. :-P [13:35:22] Actually, scratch that last bit. It's silent. (I'm conflating things in my panic here...) [13:36:34] breathe! [13:36:49] it's going to be alright [13:36:52] Seriously! *sigh* [13:37:15] Didn't realize this thing was like a limb till now. ;-) [13:37:30] I know what you mean [13:38:09] anyway, you shouldn't discharge the iPod completely, if you can help it [13:38:42] I've read that it's best to charge it when it's at about 50% [13:38:56] and if you're not going to use it for a long time, best to leave it when it's at 70% [13:39:05] those numbers sound completely made up though [13:39:19] take it with a grain of salt [13:39:25] The visual of the battery, up to let's say a minute before the power cycle, was high. Hardly anything gone. ... But, yeah, gotcha. [13:39:35] which theme? [13:40:44] The other thing I'm wondering about... I accidentally slide the hold on during that first reboot. That couldn't have started the cascade of power cycles, I'm assuming... [13:40:48] Default theme [13:41:11] there's a setting that works with some themes: Settings → Theme Settings → Status/Scrollbar → Battery Display → Numeric [13:41:37] should work with the default theme, cabbiev2, among others [13:41:51] At least I *think* it's the default. If I changed it, it was years ago. Gold on charcoal. Is that the one? [13:41:58] sounds like it [13:42:22] Ah, gotcha. I keep that in mind, once it's up and running again... *fingers crossed* [13:43:12] https://outpost.fr/tmp/LN4.png/ [13:43:25] the battery reads "100" in the top left corner [13:43:28] 100% [13:43:48] Ah, I see. And, yeah, that's my theme too. [13:44:01] that's cabbiev2, the default theme [13:44:12] Gotcha [19:08:47] *** Quits: STeeF (~STeeF@office.hostnetbv.nl) (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
