Chosen Solution

Normally I would fix it myself but my current problem is above my pay grade. The charging port no longer works and removing and replacing isn’t something I have the skillset to do. Could I send my iPod to ifixit it be repaired?

The port is soldered to the logic board and not easily replaceable. See if you can find another one (same model) used which has a bad drive. Then you can swap out your drive for the dead one.
