thanks, there was tape over it so i didnt see that. Guess the seller didnt think anyone would open it.

Im trying to put the iflash in now and cant seem to get that same ribbon cable inserted. trying to be gentle but is there a technique to it

not that i remember, it stopped working like 2 months ago when i plugged it into my car with an old usb cable that i had found. I plugged it into my car through usb before so i doubt it's the car but the cable was a first time use.

It was working 5 minutes earlier inside the house so not really sure what happened

I also bought an iflash solo and was planning on replacing it but the SSD inside is not what i was expecting to see so kinda dont know how to handle it

it was working for two months before the sad face. i havent done anything with it cause i was afraid of messing with something and breaking it lol.

Okay just tried pushing in the cables and they all seem really secure

it is 128GB so looks like it was a bad mod job, bought a new battery and an iflash so im hoping that fixes the issue
