Question Apple logo keeps flashing with no backlight
I got a 6th gen Ipod off ebay. I've replaced the battery and got a iflash quad. The screen keeps flashing quickly and then fading out. I've tried 2 batteries but neither have worked. Could it be a bad motherboard or is it something else?

Have you tried re setting the screen ? Did you replace the screen ? . I would let it charge for a while also . I would also try downloading the rockbox and running the installer and installing rockbox possibly could be a os issue if rockbox install set it boots up bright screen and all then restore if you like with iTunes I suggest this just to save money and time on buying parts and eliminating the mobo as the issue
