scott sever 8 years ago	my problem is, the part at the bottom of the ipod where you would stick the charger is jammed. I can stick the charger in, but no charge. screen does not come on. any one have any helpful info to fix this?
C Hermano 9 years ago	No doubt the tech taking apart the iPod Touch could do with a rusty snow shovel. I tried it using a putty knife like he did and destroyed the touch screen logic board connector. Wrong tool unless you've done it many times. Very poorly done.
Powerbook Medic 9 years ago	@emily - what happens when you connect it to iTunes and try to restore it to factory defaults? If it fails or is not detected by your computer, it is most likely a damaged logic board.
emily 9 years ago	my iPod touch with model number a1318 was submerged in water several years back. It can still turn on and screen touch sensitivity still works, it just says iPod disabled and to connect to iTunes. Can it be fixed several years later?
Fausto Pruiett 9 years ago	Very interesting info!Perfect just what I was looking for!
Michal 10 years ago	My Ipod A1318 doesnt turn spear off when I put headset jack in. I mean bouth are playing music so every one can listen to the music from the Ipod even I m wearing the head set. Any advises plz?
pitso 10 years ago	my ipot after reseting dont ent to ply or to conect using itunes
Powerbook Medic 10 years ago	@Nick - it shouldn't be too hard. I haven't known batteries to move on their own or bite. So just get a cage and throw it in there.

angela 11 years ago	My ipod 3is stuck on the screen to hook up to itunes after my son reset it???
Kaylin 11 years ago	Thanks I'll try it
Powerbook Medic 11 years ago	@Kaylin - I would see if you can plug it up to your computer, see if iTunes recognizes, and restore it. If you can't, we've at least ruled out a software issue, and it is most likely the logic board.
Kaylin 11 years ago	Hey, I have a iPod touch model no. A1318 and all it does is a grey screen...it makes noises and says voice over on, and voice over off... that's all! What can I do to fix it?
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@Randi - i would try putting the ipod into DFU mode and see if you can restore it through iTunes. This will delete all of your music, so make sure you have it all backed up.
Randi 12 years ago	Hi, I tried to download the update a month ago and all i get is the apple sign going on and off every 5 seconds or so. can you tell me what is wrong. it is a 3rd gen 32GB. thank you
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@chris - major issues like that typically end up being the logic board.
chris 12 years ago	hi, my 3rd gen wifi is not working at all does not seem to have it just wondering what part to get it use to work but stoped dont have a clue? thanks chris
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@stan - sounds like it'll probably end up being a logic board issue.
stan 12 years ago	Ipod touch 3rd generation. Screen is white. And I have tried the restart by holding menu and top but button and restore in itunes and then when I do the restart again the screen stays off until I leave it for long time orr plug into charger, not sure what part to order? Thanks Stan
joe 12 years ago	my ipod touch 3rd gen 64gb is having an issue with the backlight. i broke the screen had it replaced then this problem started, if i push the lower left corner in it turn on sometimes, i had the lcd replaced, after it worked fine for a bit. it went out again, and now also when its in lock mode sometimes i have to do a reset to get it to turn on. please help
Toni 12 years ago	My grandson drooled on my iPod touch 3rd gen. I wiped the drool off and put it on a docking station. Later I found the touch screen wasn't working but after a few tries it started to work. I can plug it into my iMac and sync but the wifi does not work now. It does not recognize any network. Did a restore but nothing. I'm thinking this is a hardware problem. Can you help please. Thank you
Catherine 12 years ago	Thank you for the reply, I hope the ipod Touch 3rd Gen logic board will be in stock soon. =) I'm interested in getting it
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@ Catherine - You'll likely need to replace the logic board.
Catherine 12 years ago	Hi, I think my Ipod Touch short circuit-ed while I was charging it, not it won't turn on and Apple won't repair it. What could I replace in order for my Ipod Touch to work again?
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@ShaqJ - I would try DFU mode if you haven't yet and do a restore. You can find out how to do that with a simple google search. If that doesn't work, you most likely need a new logic board.
ShaqJ 12 years ago	My ipod 3g touch stopped working 2 years ago. The only thing it does is stay on the screen with apple on it. The computer doesn"t even recognize it. It also goes the screen when the battery is dead then it like charges for a little the apple just pops back up and thats it. Please help me!
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@bryon - the headphone module is soldered onto the logic board.
bryon 12 years ago	my headphone jack needed replacement, it looked as if it was glued to the board so I carefully pulled it off. I have a new one I'm trying to put in but I don't know how to attach it. Can I just use superglue or do I have to solder or what? Plz help!
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@pritchjf - it depends on the extent of the damage. it may just need a new touch panel, but it could be more severe and need a logic board
pritchjf 12 years ago	My daughters ipod touch got wet. It comes on but the touch screen does not work. What do you think can be done for it.
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@Shaun - yes, there shouldn't be a difference between logic boards internationally.
Shaunjo076 12 years ago	I have a UK version of the IPOD 3rd Gen 32gb. Would this Logic board be compatable. Thanks
Wileykid 13 years ago	My ipod touch 3g was completely submerged in water for about 2 secs. I got it out of the water and it worked fine until I tried to charge it and the computer and ipod wouldn't register it had been plugged in. it ran out of battery power and never turned on again. That was a year ago i'm pretty sure it's dry now but it still won't sync... please help.
Powerbook Medic 13 years ago	@JUNI - most likely. the connector on the logic board could be damaged.
jUNI 13 years ago	My A1318 is not responding to touch I replaced the Lcd and Digitizer screen, restored the device and it still is not working. It turns on fine. The home , volume and sleep button work perfectly, even the speakers. Is it just the digitizer connector ? How do i fix? please help.

Jason 13 years ago	I wouldnt feel comfortable using all metal tools
preetham 13 years ago	i like this software
Powerbook Medic 13 years ago	@Shafeeq - you'll need to give us a little more detail. I'd suggest submitting a quote request to the repairs department using the Send-in Repair link above.
Shafeeq 13 years ago	Ipod lock pls resolve problem
Powerbook Medic 14 years ago	@joe - if the dock connector is damaged, you'll need a new logic board which are very pricey.
