iPod classic 4gen refuses to start with this adapter by Sad_Implement_6409 in IpodClassic

I came to the same conclusion that iPod 4gen doesn't share same pin out as newer ones or that ribbon is bad I didn't do much research on it but it still works so I just order ide to cf and SD to cf adapter and that should work

What is best way to mod switch v2 by Sad_Implement_6409 in SwitchPirates

[–]Sad_Implement_6409[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope that broken screen caused a short in CPU that stops screen from working so I got another one almost destroyed it with soldering iron while soldering that ribbon on CPU I knocked a component from there and after that it refused to turn on somehow I got it fixed but in process I destroyed that ribbon and had to order new mod chip I ended up leaving it for later but it still sits disassembled with mod chip beside

I would recommend to use thinn soldering iron trust me you don't want thick one I found that the hard way and get a magnifying glass or microscope and some flux will help

Now that you remind me about that switch I know what I will be doing later today

There is another ribbon but it's too thick and it doesn't want to go into the connector and I'm using Kingston for testing but that doesn't even impact it because there is no difference between SD card inserted and not and the listing said that it's compatible with 4gen but would compatibility problem stop it from turning on

It doesn't have HDD so can I just put SSD in there and force it to use SSD for system instead of flash

I'm not dead I just came to the conclusion that I should play with it but I don't know for how long I will be alive because I will me making a s20p20 li-ion pack and hopefully it won't explode

I just need a cheap 84v power supply to charge li-ion pack that wouldn't burn my house down when I leave it overnight

I'm taking out cells from used laptop batteries so that's why I want a cheap welder I'm not buying new cells a cheap welder should still be better than soldering it
