I once had a similar problem. Ended up building my own cable using a usb one, see here http://pinouts.ru/PortableDevices/ipod_pinout.shtml On 30/08/2010, Brian Munyao Longwe <blongwe@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi peeps,

I'm trying to find a firewire charger/sync cable for a 1st generation iPod. Only need to borrow it for a few minutes to 'kickstart' my seemingly dead iPod. Apparently it can't charge with the new USB iPod/iPhone cables, something about a slightly different pin configuration. Anyone have one of these?

Mblayo
