Hi friends,
I was wondering if someone might be able to help me discern if the circuit board is dead or if something else may be the culprit.
So I went to completely change out the guts of an ipod (except for the circuit board and LCD) and all worked well, booted up, but soon, I got the ipod logo with the apple website underneath. I detached and reattached everything, tried reconnecting the original hard drive, tried 2 different batteries, still the same result.
But there are some interesting things that have me convinced I didn't brick my ipod.
1. I can still put my ipod in Disk Mode and charge it using an outlet charger
2. I can put my ipod into DFU Mode (where it says you must reformat this with itunes), but as soon as I plug in a USB computer plugged to my computer, the letters begin to fade, the ipod reboots and I get the apple website logo
3. At times, it gets stuck in the battery recharge loop
4. I hear the hard drive spinning when I turn it on
Am I in denial here, or is there a way I can salvage the situation?
I had that problem when i damaged the battery connector, one of the pins was torn out.
