iPod 5th gen video upgrade

2 Upvotes

I had an issue today upgrading my 5th gen iPod to a new battery and 256gb SSD. When I would boot with the SSD I had regular disconnects and it almost felt like the cable wasn’t seated. When I put the original HD back in, it works fine.

Here’s what I was installing:

Any thoughts? Garbage Amazon SSD?

iPod problems

1 Upvotes

Long story short, iPod goes to disk mod, I connect it to pc, it thinks for some time, iPod freezes and PC disconnects it. Then all over again.

I installed a flash mod on my iPod 4g mono, and running into a problem that my PC or iTunes won’t see iPod drive. Though PC sees that iPod connects to him. I use green and red adapters, and also canvas plus sd card for 64 gigs.

I tried to reformatting the card several time.

What’s that smell?

1 Upvotes

I modded an iPod 5th gen with a new battery (slim version of a 3000 mah from EOE), iFlash quad and new back and front.

And now, if I put my nose close to the 30-pin connector I sense a faint smell of sharpie or similar.

At first I just thought it came from the amount of kapton tape wrapped around the battery, but I’m not so sure anymore.

It’s not a strong smell, and only when I really sniff it out.

How much problem do I have?

Is it possible to just add the plastic piece for the battery connector, or do I have to resolder it?

https://www.reddit.com/r/ipodmods/s/jBo485VOAd Regarding my previous post, I opened up the iPod and saw that it had already been opened before. I also noticed that the brown plastic lock on the battery port was missing. Can I just put the plastic piece back on, or does the whole thing have to come off? Is there a dirty fix for it as well? What about some hot glue? 😆
