iPod Shuffle 2nd generation status light

I understand that this device is extremely old, but I figured this was the best place to go to for help.


My shuffle has a red light when I turn it on (via the switch of course) and it turns off a couple seconds later. When I put it on the charging dock the yellow light comes on for a couple of seconds before shutting off. I want to clarify that it does the red light after I take it off the charger.


EDIT: I also want to mention that I can see all my music when I plug it into my computer, and when plugged into my computer it has a solid yellow light.


I had it on the charger for 24 hours (at least) and it still did the red light. Is my shuffle finally dead after 16 years?

If I'm understanding you correctly it appears that the battery is almost end of life. I say almost because if it was completely dead the indicator wouldn't light. If it helps at all here's a link to a Gen 2 manual. https://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/0/MA197/en_US/iPod_shuffle_Features_Guide.pdf


Edit: I don't know if Apple still services them or not but you could call an Apple store and ask them if the battery can still be replaced.
