New Logic Board not recognizing old HD
Recently replaced the logic board but original HD wasn't recognized even though there was indication of significant GB used, referring all photos, videos and music lumped together as 'other'. However, I have been unable to access any of it thru iTunes or in Finder as an extHD(all folders that appear are empty).
Will this always be the case with logic board replacement? Or does one have to use a data recovery service to extract files from HD before 'restoring' it. To circumvent that step and co$t, can one put the iPod in Target mode for a simple transfer dump?
Repair buddy needed, thnx.
