Hey you guys.
I have an iPod Classic 120 GB.[br]
Some while ago I connected it via an AUX cable to a mixing desk to play some music. When I wanted to put the iPod down on the casing of the mixing desk, sparks started flying. Also the music at that moment was very much disrupted. [br]
[br]
The problem causing this, was a disconnected ground cable in the power supply plug of the mixing desk.[br]
[br]
After that incident, the iPod just worked fine and I could hear music the whole day long. But when I wanted to charge the iPod, after the battery ran out of power, it showed no sign of turning on. I gave it a whole day connected to a power supply, but still nothing happend.[br]
[br]
Now I already tried some things:[br]
1) I tried a new battery, which got me so far as that the display turned on, but it was only a white window. I gave it some time and nothing happened until the battery had no power left. When I wanted to charge the iPod now, it did not even turn the display on. So same as with the old battery.[br]
[br]
2) I recently checked the capacitors around the IC Chips 338SO445 and 338SO394. Some of the capacitors seemed to have a short circuit. So after replacing both chips, some of the faulty capacitors did not show a short circuit anymore. But still nothing changed when trying to charge the iPod. [br]
At the moment there is still one capacitor that is short circuiting (but I do not know how to determine what kind of replacement I need for it). Also there are some capacitors which do not seem grounded at all. Can that be a thing or is it actually a fault?[br]
[br]
At the moment I don’t not know how to further determine the problem(s) of the iPod. So any help or ideas would be much appreciated. [br]
[br]
Also it would be nice to know, how to find a suitable replacement for the short circuited capacitor. And what both of the replaced chips function/job are on the logic board.[br]
[br]
Thank you very much for your help in advance.[br]
