Right, I'm trying something new and am wondering if anyone has any faulty/Broken Ipods lying around which they are wishing to sell/pass on etc.
After fixing a couple of Mini's now i am going to have a go at some Mods and repairs and suchlike and am trying to source some models to work/practice on.
If I'm able to retreive the data from the Ipod when fixed i am happy to transfer the files onto disk etc and send those back to you.
Let me know what you have, what problems it has and how much you are after and we can go from there!
Cheers
;D

They're fairly easy to fix... most common issue is the 'click of death' which is just the hard drive dying. I can source hard drives from work for the regular ipods, or for a mini you can just put in a 4Gb CompactFlash card and turn it into a flash-based player. Much cheaper than a hard drive and it almost doubles the battery life. No mods required, just plug it in inside as it's the same connector.

Yes, its the click of death, I was going to try and describe it but youve got it in one!
Its started to work again now though, can you fix it for me and how much would it cost?
Failing that how much for one of those flash thingies? Will the Ipod lose its identity and not be recognised by my PC if I replace the HD?
Thanks for the advice- I thought it was for the bin!
*edit*
Just read your post again and as this is a normal click-wheel pod I guess a flash HD wont fit. Its a 10MG one IIRC

gonna have to be regular HD i think..
I'm more up on Mini's at the moment then the Bigger brother models, hence why i was asking for some cheapy faulty ones to have a go at pulling them apart etc...
Quick search for HD's on ebay should sort it.. the Ipods main detail and OS i thought were stored elsewhere on the Mobo?

Due to some accidental floor slammage from the GF, my IPod is up the fritz. The click wheel is knackered anyway and barely useable but now the hard drive doesn't accept data and randomnly crashes or skips tracks or parts of tracks when playing... It doesn't sound too healthy.

The operating system itself is stored on the drive, but the firmware (the bit that makes it recognised by the computer) is on the board. Hence you can put a new drive in, and it'll work far enough to let you plug it into a pc and put the rest of the software on to make it play songs. Until you do that you get a quite cute 'Sad Ipod' face and the url for apple support on the display  Minis will take CompactFlash cards instead of the microdrive (tried it at work today, made my 4Gb Mini into a 40Mb one!) but big ones need drives. I've got 30's, 40's and 60's at work I think that I can buy but they're cheaper by far on ebay. I think a 60Gb from work is £260!! |
