iPod not charging/connecting to pc(dead battery)

Bought a secondhand iPod shuffle 2 with a dead battery. It would not connect to my MacBook or win11 pc, show itself in finder, iTunes, Apple Music, or Apple Devices (app on windows). I tried soldering a nano 6's battery onto it, which have the same voltage and wattage, just to see if it would work, and it did boot up, all the switches on the bottom worked, the headphone jack output audio, the LEDs lit up (green only), but it still won't connect.

I checked the headphone jack and found that all the contacts are connected to the motherboard, but it simply refuses to connect. Another Shuffle 2 I bought half a year ago connected to pc and showed the files in finder despite having no battery soldered on at all. Is there a way to force reset it other than simply turning it off(entering disk mode like other iPods)or is this caused by something else?

I assume you have already confirmed the charger dock/cable is working.

Here is a workaround to reset the Shuffle in this case: restoring it with a Linux disk management program, from another matching Shuffle. I suspect the problem is due to a corrupted filesystem/media.

This method worked for mine, which wouldn't show up in my file manager:

Connect the working Shuffle to a Linux PC (a live distro should work too), and use the built-in disk management utility to make a disk image of the Shuffle. You can use command-line tools or a GUI program - the Disks utility in Linux Mint 22.2 worked great for me. Whichever tool you use should make a file the same size as the storage on the Shuffle. You can reuse this file for other matching Shuffles if you want.

Next, plug in the Shuffle that needs restoring. Hopefully a Linux system should find it eventually (it could take a few minutes; a blinking orange light on the Shuffle is a good sign).

The disk manager should identify it as a 1 GB )or 2 GB) drive (don't worry if the partition type is listed as Unknown, so long as it exists). You can now clone the disk image of the working Shuffle onto the broken one. Linux might ask for superuser privileges, passwords for a sudo account, etc. to write the disk image to the Shuffle - this is normal.

When finished, the reformatted Shuffle should behave like an exact clone of the working one you restored it from.

I already gave up on shuffle 2s when I bought a second one with a new charging cable and found that the second one was broken as well:( but thanks a lot! If I ever come across a working shuffle 2 I'll try your method.
