Jun 18, PM in response to Random Hero In response to Random Hero Its mostly the older Ipods that break anyways, there made with a one year warranty cause there only gonna last a year so by the time your Ipod dies the warranty is done.
I dont really read about nanos or shuffles that are gettin messed up cause they have less space on them so they cant get messed up as easy. Reply Helpful Thread reply - more options Link to this Post. Keep in mind that about the only people who who post here have broken iPods.
And that most people who post here are only a very small percentage of iPod owners. Seal the bag or container while you let it sit. Wait 24 hours before removing the iPod. It will take a while for all of the moisture to get sucked out of the iPod.
You want it to be bone dry when you try turning it back on, so give the rice plenty of time to absorb all of the water. The heat from the blower could cause more harm than good. Method 3. Determine if the hard drive is the problem. If your iPod is displaying a folder icon for the error, then it is having difficulties accessing the hard drive.
Oftentimes, this is caused by an ill-fitting hard drive. Luckily, securing the drive is fairly straight-forward. This means there are no moving parts that can fail or connections that can become severed.
There is no practical way to secure or replace an iPod Touch hard drive, as the flash memory unit is built into the circuitry. Toggle the Hold switch on. Make sure that the iPod is turned off and locked with the Hold switch toggled on before opening your iPod. This will ensure that you don't accidentally turn it on while working on it. Remove the back from the iPod. It is recommended that you use a specially-designed opening tool to pry the back off, but you can also use a thin flathead screwdriver.
If you use a screwdriver, you run the risk of scratching the case. Some guides recommend a sturdy plastic guitar pick as a good substitute tool. Insert the tool into the small crack between the metal and plastic parts of the case. Work the opening tool around the edge, gently prying the back off the iPod. Press the tabs inside the shell using your tool to help release the casing.
When the case is open, don't force the two halves apart, as there is a small ribbon cable attaching the front to the logic board. Ensure that the hard drive cables are secure. The large, rectangular metal object in your iPod is the hard drive. Check the cables connecting the hard drive to the rest of the circuitry to make sure that nothing has come loose.
Gently lift the hard drive out of it's housing to reveal the connector cable underneath. It is usually connected to the logic board with black tape. Remove the tape and press the connector firmly into the board.
Replace the tape and the gently replace the hard drive. This loose cable is the source of a significant number of hard drive problems. Fold a business card in half. This will create a square that will be thick enough to apply pressure onto the hard drive.
If you don't have a business card handy, cutting a square out of a cardboard bar coaster will work as well. Place the business card onto the hard drive. Center the folded business card on the hard drive, taking care not to disrupt any of the cables. Replace the backing on the iPod. With the card in place, push the backing onto the iPod. Push it in with care, and ensure that all of the tabs click back into place.
After you replace the backing on the iPod, you will likely need to restore it in order to ensure that nothing corrupt remains. See the first section of this article for detailed instructions. If you are still receiving hard disk errors or hear a clicking sound, then your hard drive most likely needs to be replaced. See the next section for detailed instructions. Method 4. Ensure that there are no other options. This is one of the more difficult repairs to attempt yourself, so make sure that you can't fix the issue using one of the other methods in this article first.
If you've tried everything, you can try replacing your hard drive as a last-ditch effort. If you iPod is making a clicking sound and the "sad iPod" image appears on your screen, then the hard drive most likely needs to be replaced. Replacement hard drives can be ordered online, or you can scavenge a drive out of another iPod that is the same model. Open your iPod.
Follow the steps in the previous method to remove the back from your iPod to expose the hard drive. Lift up the hard drive. Lift the hard drive from the top of the iPod. Don't try to pull it out completely. Remove the rubber bumpers and shock absorber and set them to the side.
Pull the drive out slightly. You will see a cable at the bottom the drive that attaches the drive to the circuitry. Gently work the cable out of the drive, using either your fingers or a screwdriver. Remove the drive. Once the cable has been detached, you should be able to completely remove the drive from the housing. Once you have pulled the drive out, take off the foam cover and put it on your replacement drive.
Put the rubber shock absorbers on it as well. Install the new drive. Insert the new drive in the same direction that the old drive was installed. Gently insert the cable so that the hard drive can send and receive data from the iPod's motherboard. Close up the iPod and ensure that all of the tabs click.
Restore the iPod. With the new hard drive installed, all that is left is to perform a restore on the iPod. See the first method in this article for detailed instructions on restoring the device. Method 5. Obtain a replacement screen. You will need to order a replacement screen for your iPod. Make sure to order the display for the 4th Generation iPod or Photo, or the display will not work. Open the iPod. A set of iPod opening tools is recommended for getting into the seam of the iPod to disengage the tabs.
You can use a thin flat-head screwdriver if you don't have an iPod opening tool. Start by inserting your tool into the seam at the top of the iPod, near the headphone jack. Run the tool to the corner, creating an opening. Leave the tool inserted to keep the gap open. Move the second tool down the seam on both sides, releasing the tabs that hold the casing together. There are two tabs at the bottom near the dock connector. Disconnect the two halves. Once you've separated the halves, gently open the iPod like a book.
You will notice a cable connecting the iPod's logic board to a small board on the other half. This is the headphone connector, and needs to be removed to continue.
Depending upon your type of iPod Touch, Nano, etc. If you just want to help protect the screen from scratches, dust, and other outside elements, you can buy a simple guard that uses a self-adhering method to stick to iPod screens without using any actual substances and leaving behind no residues should you decide to remove it.
Or you can obtain a guard that nestles perfectly over the screen of your device. The guards you find are always the best possible. Some are slightly thicker than others for even more protective power. The majority of the products you will find are dust resistant, waterproof, and even washable so you always have a crystal clear image shining through the protector.
They are all scratch-resistant, so when you accidentally drop your iPod on the ground, the guard will protect the screen from anything that threatens to scratch the screen, saving your iPod from damage and saving you from repairing it.
Protecting your iPod means protecting your investment. One of the big reasons for this fragility is the construction of the iPod Touch 4. It is extremely thin, slippery, has a large glass surface, and the steel frame that holds the glass in place is not very strong.
That weak steel frame is particularly troublesome. Remove any debris from the charging port on the bottom of your device. Another way the iPod touch makes your life easier, which causes the battery to die faster, is how it automatically updates apps.
Instead of requiring you to update apps to the new versions, this feature updates them for you as app updates become available.
