iPod stuck in 'Restoring "iPod" ...' then fails. Help!

I’m guessing the hard drive is dead but wanted to include the situation info here to see if anyone knew better?

Initially:

  • iPod wouldn’t charge
  • Wasn’t recognised by itunes/disk utility

Later:

  • Got it to charge - think it just took a good while
  • Reset/disk mode: iPod became recognised by disk utility. Tried to erase with disk utility failed though this made iTunes recognise the iPod again.
  • iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes.
  • 1st restore lead to: info: software v 1.1.2
  • ‘error 1429’
  • ‘iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the iPod.’
  • 2nd restore lead to iPod stuck in 'Restoring "ipod" ...'
  • Clearlying wasn’t working after an hour, force quit iTunes, reset iPod, Apple logo and the white progress bar looks like its trying to restore then fails. Connect back to itunes then again: ''‘iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the iPod.’''
  • 3rd restore ‘“iPod” could not be restored because it is busy’
  • 4th restore: restore progress bar goes very fast in iTunes, iPod produces loud clicking goes from ‘synchronising’ to ‘connected’
  • then ‘could not be restored because the updater software was busy’
  • iPod restarts again with Apple logo and the white progress bar looks like its trying to restore then fails just before its complete.

It’s being a real tease! Is there anything that can be done or is it a solid indicator that the hard drive needs replacing?

If so was thinking of one of these: https://www.iflash.xyz/store/iflash-solo...

My iPod: 6th Gen 80GbMB029 / MB147 128Gb / ~50000 Tracks

Is there any way of knowing whether the battery needs replacing?

If I’m going to open the iPod it makes sense to change it as well?
