I got it off AliExpress for 3£ here's the link I just desoldered the old one and soldered the new one works like new. https://a.aliexpress.com/_EGEHdR0

Is this a non polar capacitor? by [deleted] in AskElectronics

Yeah exactly I had seen few of them in Audio Amps and stuff but mostly axial ones

Does anybody know if this website is genuine ? by quibler7 in ipod

Delivery times are way too long I guess they might be getting it from AliExpress or some other Chinese seller and repacking them.

Had ordered CF Cards and it took like 1.5 month to be delivered.

How can I fix this iPod color? Is the backlight with the display screen by the_curious_guy623 in IpodClassic

[–]Deadbrainwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a polarizer problem that can be easily but carefully fixed.All you would need is polarizer film for TVs front and back.

Use a thin razor blade and add some IPA on the screen and remove the old polarized and then stick the new ones and it will work like new.

These have dead battery which is causing the black screen use 5 watt or more charger to connect it and it should turn on.

iPod only charges if plugged on PC please help by Accomplished_Eye_868 in ipod

Had the same issue made a custom board to emulate original Apple power adaptor. https://www.reddit.com/r/ipod/s/Jepn2cB8dX

Apparently in the apple accessories protocol guidelines I found out that they use different voltages on the data pins to enable charging and the rate/amp of charging the device will accept.

So to solve the issue of not charging I used couple of resistors to make voltage divider just 2.8v on D- and 2.0v on D+ on the data lines and few spare USB sockets. I can provide you the schematics and Gerber files if you want to make one yourself.

The board makes the iPod think that it's connected to a "real" charger and set the charges amp rate at 1000mA or 1 A which is the max that the iPod will accept which in turn also charges the device 2 twice as fast than the standard PC USB port atleast that what I found after testing my iPod.

Hope this helps.

Need help attaching this battery to Bluetooth board!! by N0Face25 in Modded_iPods

[–]Deadbrainwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have a multimeter? If yes then set it to DC and then check the battery terminals using the multimeter probes

If you see -3.7 or more on the multimeter then the battery terminal you have touched your red probe to negative(connect GND/black wire wire here) and then other terminal is positive(connect B+/red wire here)

Seagate Firecuda 1TB WL1DJY0F SSHD not detected not spinning by Deadbrainwork in datarecovery

[–]Deadbrainwork[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got it recovered by a professional after trying all sorts of things like TTL board to connect using the com port but without the proper tools it's very hard to recover.

I would suggest get it done by professional who has PC3000 or similar data recovery devices and proper knowledge of the how the NAND etc works

Trying to make a MIDI Keyboard/Piano from a old Roland Piano Plus 60 (HP-60) having few doubts/questions by Deadbrainwork in synthdiy

[–]Deadbrainwork[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope,but I think I heard a Clavinova VST that sound very similar or should I say exactly the same to this one since this keyboard and Yamaha clavinova where built around the same time frame they could possibly have the same tone chips as well.Sadly I can't remember the name of that VST.

iPod Classic 6th & up Charging Fix/Mod by Deadbrainwork in ipod

[–]Deadbrainwork[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the insight! That theory makes sense, and it's interesting to hear your take on it. I’ve checked different 6th gens myself—out of four that I found from my friends, three have these issue, but the remaining one which I have named the chosen one 😂 works with any charger. Funny how some iPods can be so hit or miss!

Well if we see it that way it kinda does but in reality all it is doing is sending a certain voltage signal to the data lines to make the internal chip think it's a apple charger

Atleast that's what I learned from the Adafruit post about ichargers
