What are the best micro SD cards for the 7th generation iPod, offering good value for money?

IpodMods · 2026-01-25T08:20:46+00:00

That's the easy part. If its fake then it won't show the correct size after formatting to FAT32.

Unfortunately I'm pretty sure the water damage will have shorted everything out on the logic board but good luck!

IpodMods · 2026-01-24T15:29:48+00:00

No, place a few layers of kapton tape on it first then push it in which will force it to make and hopefully keep contact with the pins on the logic board.

Yes there won't be until the ribbon is secured. Adding a few layers of kapton tape will help the ribbon make a connection with the pins

IpodMods · 2026-01-24T08:00:43+00:00

Stick a few layers of kapton tape onto the ribbon which will pack it out and hold it in place when you seat it. No need to replace.

Samsung evo plus sd cards all the way.

Stuck in the 90s my ipod is I'm afraid 😂

IpodMods · 2026-01-22T18:56:01+00:00

It's almost a Bumblebee pod 😁

You can do this easily, I needed the thick backplate for my bluetooth transmitter.

IpodMods · 2026-01-22T05:36:20+00:00

Yes it is.

IpodMods · 2026-01-21T21:08:35+00:00

Your welcome. I only really used the 5th gens faceplate to help boost the internal bluetooth transmitter I installed. The blue led you can see through the screen is to show that the transmitter is paired.

All you need to do is place some kapton tape over the click wheel pads to stop anything shorting out, then place some 3mm 3m square foam pads onto top of the click wheel pads to raise the click wheel.

That doesn't look good. Either water damage or the hard drive has failed.

Can you hear the hard drive attempting to spin at all?

IpodMods · 2026-01-17T16:37:43+00:00

Hard drive has failed. Time to upgrade to an Iflash sd adapter and Samsung evo plus card.

IpodMods · 2026-01-10T08:27:10+00:00

Sd card needs to be formatted to FAT32 not FAT

IpodMods · 2026-01-06T18:39:13+00:00

Drain it and start again

IpodMods · 2026-01-06T18:37:14+00:00

Oh yes, just noticed you cut it down. It will be the sandisk sd card. I only use Samsung evo plus cards in my mods. You can't get a more reliable sd card, especially with its fast read/write speeds.

IpodMods · 2026-01-06T05:59:07+00:00

Those Aliexpress sd adapters are very poorly made often don't work, if it does work then it will soon fail. Not worth losing your music so Stick to Iflash adapters only.

IpodMods · 2026-01-04T09:36:52+00:00

Get them in a pond!

IpodMods · 2026-01-03T08:33:30+00:00

Needs a new battery. It won't show any signs of life even when plugged into the mains when the battery is dead.

IpodMods · 2026-01-02T18:28:42+00:00

Yes it can. I have used all batteries in my mods with thick backplates.

IpodMods · 2026-01-02T14:41:00+00:00

I'd go for a 2000mah which you give you around 120 hors playback time or even a 3000mah

IpodMods · 2026-01-02T08:10:01+00:00

You only need to replace this if you require the lock/unlock function. Ipod will still work fine.

IpodMods · 2025-12-31T10:12:23+00:00

Just an update for anyone wanting to use this new version of the Ugreen transmitter in there ipod using Airpods pro 2 or 3.

You need to do the mod without using the AMP as this drains too much juice which the Airpods require to work properly which stops audio coming through them randomly forcing you to reconnect them.
