Se empurrar ou der um jeito forçando a entrada dos phones o sinal vai dando um pouco mas se largar a entrada só dá num. Terá arranjo? terei de comprar um novo após 4 anos? Ele não caiu nem nada. Não dá par abrir e arranjar, será mau contacto? Agradecia uma ajuda. Obrigado

Stuck on a iPod Classic 7th Gen with iFlash Quad build. Would appreciate any help.

Setup:

- iPod Classic 7th Gen

- iFlash Quad

- 256GB + 512GB Samsung EVO Select MicroSD cards (both on confirmed compatibility list)

- New 3600mah battery

Background:

PC crashed and soft locked during first restore attempt. Powered down computer, disconnected the iPod and rebooted. After that the iPod wouldn't boot — stuck asking to restore. I have manual and auto tested the iPod through diagnostic mode. All internals and hardware are recognised by the system and functional.

What I've tried:

- Reseated SD cards - ipod identifies all 768GB, both cards detected.

- Completed iFlash SDXC prep guide, cards formatted to FAT32.

- Tried restoring on Windows with iTunes 12.13 and 12.8 — restore completes fully, success message shows, iPod reboots to Apple logo then immediately drops back into recovery mode. Loops every time.

- Tried restoring on Mac via Finder — restore froze completely for 5+ hours with zero progress.

Any ideas what's causing the restore loop or the Mac freeze. I suspect it is software issue rather than hardware, but otherwise am lost.

Thanks for taking the time to read! Best wishes :)

The message says..

"The ipod could not be restored because the firmware file is not compatible".

I tried restarting the computer and changing out cables but it still won't work.

Is there any other way to fix this or get my songs loaded onto my ipod for free?

Thanks

But it charges fine via USB and wall

Already cleaned dock, tested multiple cables, did the 5 Rs, tested 3 different laptops (mac, linux, windows 11).

Ipod will fully charge via USB and wall but won't get detected as USB device.

I don't know what could be the problem.

I'm guessing logic board or something on the 30 pin but would be weird if only the data pin is faulty while charge seems to work fine.

One thing that's interesting though. In diagnostics mode in the accessory test, it only shows FWRPWR and not USBPWR or USB_Detect that seems to appear on other devices.

1:Please Wait. Very Low Battery

2:Black screen with apple emblem

3:www.apple.com/support/ipod

I have tried to reseat the battery cable more then 4 times with the same result each time.

I have had the ipod charging all day, so over 8 hours.

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Ipod Fans and Old Tech Resurrectionist,

It took apart an iPod 5th Gen A1136 but during the process I lost track of the fine mesh ground horribly pictured with this question. The ground mesh is the same type that is adhered to the top of the charge port at the bottom of the logic board.

Not sure why there is a second ground (not counting the click wheel ground) when the faceplate is plastic on this model but this is probably why I am not an engineer. I would like to return this very small part to it’s original home in the case without buying another unopened iPod to study.

Any assistance where this second ground mesh is placed is greatly appreciated. I am finding nothing on the internet about these spongy fine wire mesh grounding strap? Thingy?

Sincerely,

Leo

I recently bought an iPod Classic 7th gen off eBay, everything works just fine except for the clickwheel buttons and center button. It scrolls perfectly, but when I try to press the buttons to the next song or the menu, etc. It doesn’t do anything.

I have already replaced the click wheel itself, but the problem persists. What could it be?

While replacing the clickwheel I made sure that I could hear the click, and I did. Buttons click fine, but don’t actually do anything, sometimes they work if I press them ridiculously hard but sometimes not even that works.
