Luis 5 years ago	When my iPod turn on the little apple comes and the it spins and instead of the apple it appears alike a skull instead of the apple and from there it won't do anything it stays like that what can I do to resolve that
Powerbook Medic 9 years ago	@Jazz - if it won't sync up to the computer, there isn't much you can do. Any music on there should still be on your computer or redownloadable from the music store.
Jazz 9 years ago	When I plug my iPod into the computer it lights up and shows the apple but then blacks out. It will not show up at all on my mac or PC and I've tried many restoring processes. Please do you know of there's any way possible to get my music off of the logic board? I've tried many restoring software's and still nothing. I just want the data of music.

Powerbook Medic 11 years ago	@ramadhani - we offer a repair service if you want to send it in to us for a free diagnosis.
ramadhani 11 years ago	my ipod usb device is don't want to work
Powerbook Medic 11 years ago	@John - sometimes you can solder it back, but in most situations it requires a new logic board.
John 11 years ago	The gold clip that works in sync with the power button was laying inside when I took it apart. "The one on the logic board". Is there a way to fix this ?
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@CRB - unfortunately the dock connector is soldered onto the logic board on this model, so you'll just need to decide if it is cost effective to repair or replace.
CRB 12 years ago	My son slobbered on the end of my first gen iPod. I tried drying it out, but when I plug it up, it still doesn't charge. For some reason the charging end does get warm to the touch, but it ipod will not turn on. Any suggestions? Should I just buy a new one? It was not completely submerged in slobber, it just got on the end where you charge it.
Coinage 12 years ago	Best Ipod repair guide on the web.Hands down. Thank you for your help!
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@Ian - I would try a different USB port and cable first. After that, it is most likely the logic board.
Ian 12 years ago	@powerbook Medic I need some help in here please. one day, the itouch 1g, stopped turning on. i've charged it full. when i plug it to the pc, it shows that message "usb device not recognized". i've opened the ipod but i don't know what to do now.
manul 12 years ago	when i switch on it stops at the itunes logo and shows a cable
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@Ray - it is best if you at least loosen the board, but we recommend taking it out.
Ray 12 years ago	Can the headphone jack be replaced without taking the entire unit apart or does the lower logic board have to come apart?
angie 12 years ago	home button not working
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@SL8 - it can be just a loose cable, so check that first. otherwise its usually the LCD or rarely the logic board.
SL8 12 years ago	white screen... what to replace?
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@vickey - we'd have to see what is wrong with it. you can send it to us for a free diagnosis if you don't know what needs to be replaced.
vickey 12 years ago	i just bought a used 1st gen ipod apple tells me it will cost $60 dollars to do update so my daughter can play games is this true? i have dont an itunes account and all and still cant get it to do anything .
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@wiguy - all you can do is replace the logic board at that point.
wiguy 12 years ago	My iPod is in disable mode and will not sync and will not go into dfu mode what can I do?
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@Dan - try to go into DFU mode and restore it from there. just google it and it should provide guides on how to get it there.
Dan 12 years ago	Hi I have a brand new ipod john lennon version itouch that during the first 30 seconds of the restore process shuts off the itouch, turns it on to show a bright apple, the progress bar under the apple spins for 1/2 second and then everything goes dim and the bar freezes. I tried this with multiple restore versions (on PC) Any ideas?
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@jayem - unfortunately yes.
jayem 12 years ago	Do I have to replace the logic board if there is fault with the power / data socket. My Ipod won't charge - if I gently push the plug towards or away from the Ipod then it shows the 'charging' or the 'plug charger in' signs but they don't stay on.
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@92 Buick - yes you can put a 16GB logic board into an 8GB. You can't however put a different generation one into an older generation. (i.e. you can't put a 2nd gen touch board into a 1st gen)
92 Buick 12 years ago	can you put a 16gb in a 8gb ipod? will this make it hold more? also can you put a newer logic board in an old ipod?
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@tate - that is typically going to be an issue with the wireless antenna. it may be disconnected or damaged.
tate 12 years ago	my ipod will not sync with wireless unless im very close to routier and i mean on top of it and even then its not getting good signal help please
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@sanjida - it should show something on the screen when you plug it up to the computer. if it doesn't show anything or sync up, it is probably a logic board issue.
sanjida 12 years ago	My ipod switched off automaticially and now it doesnt switch on again.
DH 12 years ago	Well done, thanks!
Jim-Dan-Di 12 years ago	After searching for how to disassemble an IPOD TOUCH 32GB 1st generation and actually viewing a couple which showed how to open the box it came in and remove the IPOD and it's contents I was elated to find your professional site and quality video demonstration of how to disassemble the IPOD. I give you a 5 STAR rating!!!
Powerbook Medic 13 years ago	@Ade - we sell the logic boards with the battery in case people aren't up to soldering. If you do want to just replace the battery though, it does require a soldering iron.
Ade Weiss 13 years ago	Best servicing video I've ever seen -- no short-cuts or "jump over" setps. BUT, it should not end yet-- at least state if the replacement of the battery requires disconnecting the old leads and soldering the new battery leads on. Thanks
tom 13 years ago	My ipod touch 1st gen lcd screen does not respond. The home and power button work but it doesn't respond to the touch. Any suggestions.....
bahamagirl5@yahoo.com 13 years ago	Very nice and detailed video! Thanks!
Powerbook Medic 13 years ago	@Dan - yes, we call it the On/Off switch and it should be in the part list to the right.
Dan 13 years ago	I'm having a issue took off the back and then a little piece came off. Couldn't find it but now I realize it was the power button attached to the board. Now it doesn't power on an off until I plug it in. Do you have that part?
Dave 13 years ago	Louder please!!!!
rebecca 13 years ago	thank you ill see if i can afford it :P
Powerbook Medic 13 years ago	@rebecca - it may be a logic board issue, you may want to send it in for diagnosis.

Fahad 13 years ago	thank you
Powerbook Medic 13 years ago	@kay - you can't really repair the battery, just replace it.

Powerbook Medic 13 years ago	@crash - usually that is going to be a problem with the logic board. You may want to have it professionally diagnosed at this point.

june huerte 14 years ago	my i ipod dont'z open.. hung it over
Powerbook Medic 14 years ago	@Merl - there is a small silver button mechanism under the home button that has probably slid out of place and just needs to be adjusted and possibly secured with tape.
Meri 14 years ago	my ipod 1G 3.1.3 's home button is jam and don't click when i press it but it is working.Is there any way to fix it.
mike 14 years ago	Thank you.
Powerbook Medic 14 years ago	@mike - unfortunately no. Replacement logic boards cost almost as much as a new iPod.
mike 14 years ago	i had my ipod touch 32gb down the water. i think the mother board is spoilt. do you have any replacement?
Powerbook Medic 14 years ago	@jokk - you'll need to sync it up to your computer and restore it.
jokk 14 years ago	my son had my A1213 and deleted everything from it, i've tried resetting it, and when the apple logo appears it freezes. is there a way to reboot files?
Powerbook Medic 14 years ago	@julie - you pretty much just go in reverse of the video.
Powerbook Medic 14 years ago	@colin - if you've tried a new LCD and the backlight still doesn't work, it'll be the logic board unfortunately. Make sure, however, you are connecting it well. You can partially connect it and the backlight may not work.
julie 14 years ago	now that i know how to take off a broken screen how do you put on a new one while puttting together the rest of the ipod
colin 14 years ago	where is the light powerd from because the lcd is not broke but no libht dosent work how can you mend it with out buying a new board thanks for your answers
