It can't be a corrupt hard drive as the SSD is freshly formatted. I should've googled this though, lotta information out there, thanks.
Could also be incompatibility with the SSD...

Neh this is not the first time I put this thing together. It's an 840 EVO, I know it should work.
Unfortunately it won't go into disk mode so I'm kinda fearing this is the end of it.

Only if the pads were not lifted off the board
From 'frowny face' I am guessing its a 5th or 5.5 gen? So the 5/5.5 equivalent of the red-cross error?
When you say 'freshly formatted', how was it formatted (in or outside the ipod, and with AOMEI or something else?) and with what format? (and 5 or 5.5 gen?)
You might have already given this info earlier, but its far too much effort for me to hit the 'back' button!
What pads? The connector seems to be just pulled off (the small wires stayed in place until I tried to put it back on them and connector doesn't look broken - just without the silver wires on it). So in theory if I buy a new connector like this one and find someone that can solder it back on, I should be fine?
Here's a pic of the connector:
The solder pads on the board where you solder the connector to. I just looked at the pic you posted yesterday and it appears the pads are still there.
I'll give it a shot. Thanks guys! hopefully all is not yet lost.
Like you said, the connector may be still good so you should try to solder it back to the board before you buy a new connector. Just make sure you get an iron with a very fine pencil tip, something like 0.2mm. I never needed to solder that connector to the board but from that video it appears very doable even by an average Joe. Make sure you don't bridge any pads when you are soldering. Before you try to solder the connector back to the board, tin those pins a little bit that way all you need to do is pretty much just to touch the pin and pad with the hot iron and you are done. If you put too much solder on the tip you may risk bridging the pads if not experienced.
Good luck, and you have nothing to lose as long as you keep the GF.

I recommend a PNY 128gb sd card in a Tarkan adaptor.
