店舗での修理はめんどくさいんで自分で修理する方法も教えてくださると幸いです。

ちなみに、日本仕様のやつなので、技適マークが保持されたまんま修理が行える方法が知りたいです。

また、故障の原因は、軽度の水没である可能性があります。これらの情報を配慮した上での修理方法を教えてくださると幸いです。

あ、そういえば、画面を強く押すと画面がついたりつかなっかったりします。

When I plug it in it will charge, but not connect, it doesn't show up in iTunes, explorer, disk manager or device manager. The iPod is otherwise fully functional.

Things I've tried:

Hard Reset (both when connected and not)

Disk Mode

Original Apple cable, and aftermarket cables (charges on all, won't connect)

Uninstalling iTunes

Restarting computer with iPod attached

Uninstalling all USB drivers and restarting

Plugged into Windows 7/10 and OSX, no change.

I even tried connecting it to an android phone with an adapter .

Reset iPod settings

I am pulling (what little is left) of my hair out with this! I have come to the end of the internet and I've run out of options, the only thing left to assume is that it's a hardware issue but it was literally working, then sat on a desk for a bit, then stopped working, nothing happened in between and it never had any issues before.

Any insight is appreciated, even solidarity if you are experiencing the same thing. It's just so frustrating, at least if it showed some sign of connectivity I would have a glimmer of hope, but I have nothing to go on if I can't even try to access the device.

SIGH.

Thanks,

I think the major problem would be to have it connect to a Wi-Fi network.

Maybe a possible solution is to make the iPod be a piggyback of a mobile phone where you have Spotify, but idk.

Problem is Spotify won’t let you sync your iPod when you connect it to your pc so there’s no way to download your entire Spotify library to your iPod.

I found there are some programs that claim to be able to do it, but they have two major problems:

1 - you have to select each song and drag it onto the program;

2 - they are quite expensive (30-40$) whereas most iPod mods can be done with less expense.

Big thanks to anyone who’ll answer!

Please advise where I can purchase one. I've seen them on this site and amazon with various pricing.

Please advise. Thanks

(I removed the insulating tape and swapped out the battery wires just in case they are damaged, pretty sure the battery works but the issues mentioned below are still there after I removed it.)

No matter what I choose, the iPod would then reboot back to the main page and refuses to be recognized as an iPod when I plug it in to my Macbook. The iPod tab in finder would freeze up and show a loading icon even after I unplugged it. The iPod also crashes and reboots every time i scroll the clickwheel and press buttons after the macbook "restored" it.

I rebooted the Macbook and plugged the iPod in again, and this time it is recognized by Finder as a corrupted iPod and prompted me to restore it, which led to the warning mentioned before.

Swapping on a new clickwheel solved the crashing issue, but the iPod still refuses to be recognized by Finder as a working iPod and prompted me to restore it.

I tried to format it into Windows and restore it using Apple Devices App, but all I got was an error code and nothing else. I tried formatting it into Apple Extended OS, ExFAT, basically every option Disk Utility offers, and wiped the disk clean a couple times, but it still behaves the same as before. Force restarting by pressing down select and menu didn't work, and it won't enter disk mode either.

I have never encountered a similar issue with MacOS 15, and this isn't the only iPod that MacOS failed to restore. My nano 6 is also having similar issues after I restored it, and only by formatting it into Windows format and restoring using Apple Devices did it properly restore.

Is there another way I can restore it? Or should I do something with the MacBook itself? Thanks in advance.

The Hold switch works and the lock icon turns on/off.

Holding Menu and Select to hard reset works, but doesn't fix the problem. Holding Menu and Pause/Play to enter Disk Mode doesn't work.

I let my iPod die and tested each button individually to see if it powered on, and it did for the menu, back, and select buttons, but not for play/pause or next.

Because most of the buttons register, I think it's a software issue, and have been trying to do a clean install of the OS, or switch to Rockbox, but I've plugged it into both a Windows computer and a Chromebook with two different cables, and tested all USB ports, and it won't register in iTunes or file explorer. It also doesn't show up in Device Manager or Disk Manager, so I can't update any drivers.

I'm comfortable opening my device, and I modded a full size iPod a few years ago to expand the storage, so recommendations for physical fixes would also be appreciated.

It was an iPod I got off of Facebook marketplace a while back and the buttons didn't work when I received it, but at the time I was able to transfer music to it through iTunes.

Any ideas on what to try?
