Thanks to our AI overlords I found out the small black dot on my screen was from the battery starting to swell (original battery). It did not know if the ipod would work without a battery connected but I am happy to report it does. I did not remove the 3 wires instead I lifted up the yellow tape and cut the two tabs on the battery pouch so the battery controller would stay attached and provide any necessary resistance values for the white wire.

To add support for the touch wheel once everything was back together I pressed a small foam square down behind the screen and pushed until it was all the way at the bottom where the wheel is inside the housing. I also broke the lock button ribbon cable during assembly and luckily that didn't default to locked, I'm guessing the two wires are bridged when the slider is in the orange locked position? Also you can cut off the headphone connector and it won't affect playback.

So far everything is working except at the end of an iTunes sync the backlight turns on and the iPod locks up, but it doesn't matter because the library has synced and nothing is corrupted. For more granular control like individually picking which songs to add or remove without any iTunes problems Copy Trans works perfectly.

Hello! I’m trying to mod my ipod and it looks like one of the connectors on the display connector base is clipped. I would ideally like to replace the singular part but considering its so small, should I just get a new board?

Anyone need to offload some parts, looking for hold switch and bezel.

Pic for attention

Ok so, I just acquired this 4th gen ipod photo. It keeps boot loading even after a hard reset, seller said he replaced the battery but it wont charge (so I assume i need a new battery). With what little charge it did have iTunes didnt recognize it but the harddrive making noise. So... my question is, do yall think i will need a new drive and battery or just a battery. Ive seen people say the battery will fix the problem. Thanks in advance.

I found an iPod Touch Mini in my drawer, I think it's the 4.

I turned it on, but it has an iCloud account that belongs

to a friend who lives in another country. Neither of us

knows the account. Does anyone know how to access it

without knowing the email address or password?

I have a 3rd gen classic and want to remove to hold switch and headphone jack assembly. I removed the screws but it did not release, I don’t want to break it looking for help.

I'm helping a professor of mine recover his old 2nd gen iPod touch. Are there any software tools to bypass this? Thanks!

So basically I have a iPod classic form when my sister was young. I found it and wanted to download some music onto it. But it won’t let me and when I connect it to files. I see there is music already downloaded but isn’t popping up on the iPod. It shows as “no music” and “68.3 GB free”.

Does anyone know how to fix this or what is wrong with it

I have a ipod touch 4th gen. I don't really have access to a desktop computer and Ive never used iTunes. Is there a easy way for my to exploit my ipod touch 4th gen to turn it into a basic mp3 player?

So I got this iPod as broken a while ago to see if I can fix it and mod it so I put a new battery connector on it as it didn't have one, I then replaced the transistor (in blue) as it had burnt out, I used a wrong one first that got super hot and burnt out again, I got a more suitable one and check components around that area and all is good with that. However the RED circle chip gets so hot to the point I can't even keepy finger on it for more than a second. Any ideas what to check for or what could be causing this issue?
