  • it charges because they put 2 volts on the data lines in the newer models. the new devices from apple (itouch, iphone, and ipad) all require for the data ports to be working in order to allow for charging. If you attempt to make the old minty boost models work with say an ipod touch, you'll just heat up the batterys because the ipod isn't allowing for charge.

  • what resistor did you use to be able to charge the touch?? was it the brown black yellow n gold or the brown green orange n gold

    you can ducktape the inside, also you want to make sure that the circuit board must not touch the tin cause of the solder will circuit it all out.

  • Hey, do you use anything to insulate the inside of your Altoids tin so it doesn't cause the circuit to short? If so, what and where do you place it? I think I shorted mine out, it won't work anymore. The iPod says it's connected to something, but it doesn't charge.
