iPod is having problems booting
I recently got a couple iPod Classics off of craigslist (I like tinkering) and I seemed to have put life back into one of them. I know that there is a problem, I'm just trying to determine if it is the Logic Board or the HDD.
When the HDD is installed right side up: I plug the iPod into a outlet or my computer and the screen flickers, the apple logo is dark, and then fades to black.
When I install the HDD upside-down: the iPod's brightness is at 100% and it looks like it is starting to boot with the apple logo. However, after about 30 seconds or so it gives me a red x with the web address to apples support site.
Something that is worth noting is that one of the three devices batteries was NOT an original and I believe it exploded as well. One of the units does not respond at all so I'm assuming it goes to that one, but if this information helps someone I don't want to leave it out.
Thank you!
Ian
Это хороший вопрос?
Have you made sure that you a. have the right HDD cable and b. that the cable is properly installed?
