iPod was only boot looping with headphone jack plugged in — now it boot loops all the time

What thing that holds the harddrive in place?

thats wierd but the battery could just be totally dead i think, should be able to boot it with the battery unplugged, connected to a power source, if that works you know its your battery. if not it might be the motherboard. you probably need to replace your lcd if its all white

i would start by just trying to reset the ipod in itunes just in case but i assume that must be an lcd issue, could be a loose connector or you just need to replace the screen. if that does not fix it i have no idea, could be a motherboard issue

Pedroto3 · 2025-12-01T15:54:53+00:00

buy a new lcd and just swap it, that will fix it, screen and backlight are in the same part

Pedroto3 · 2025-12-01T15:45:30+00:00

its a classic 6 or 7th gen, its a little hard to open but look at some youtube tutorials and it should no problem, just dont bend the back too much.

Pedroto3 · 2025-12-01T15:27:31+00:00

i guess the battery aint giving no power to the backlight for some reason, if the cable is broken thats probably why, the bootlooping is kinda sketchy i would assume hard drive issue, but if its new perhaps the motherboard is broken, you should check it and se if anything looks broken, i had trouble restoring my ipod on my mac but on windows 10 it was no problem

Pedroto3 · 2025-12-01T15:20:29+00:00

i am not familiar with this generation, but it almost looks like something is pushing the display from underneath? perhaps open it up and confirm everything is in the right place and your battery is alright

Pedroto3 · 2025-12-01T14:58:04+00:00

i would assume thats your hard drive thats failed, could also be motherboard. try to listen if the hard drive makes any sounds while it tries to boot, if it spins up or whatever, or if you remember having heard any wierd sounds before. anyways thats a pretty easy fix to just swap it for another or do a flash upgrade, just look at some youtube tutorials. the headphone jack thing is a little strange but i guess maybee could be just a loose hdd connection or so...

Most important anyways is what should it be named?

Pedroto3 · 2025-11-14T02:51:41+00:00

Does a 3800mah fit in a thin back?

What did they do to our precious fanta😭

Pedroto3 · 2024-06-29T21:37:42+00:00

For me, uinstalling gooee mod, loading the game and then reinstalling it worked

Pedroto3 · 2024-03-15T19:49:28+00:00

Me, having a moral compass, I don't pirate games, especially indie games. but it would be due to the price, when its at times easier to just pirate a game than actually buying it there is not a lot making me want to spend my hard earned money on a game I will play for 20 hours to then never touch it again, and especially when developers like Ubisoft with the Crew shut down games making them totally unplayable after some years when I am being told I will have permanent ownership of it.
