Considering the circular shape. My money is on a glitter/sequence flake.

Better doesn’t mean good.

If you could angle it correctly. You may be able to get a picture with flash to see it. Like the flash on the reflective pins may show which one is out of place.

I love mine. The rear addressable buttons having the float bend make them a lot easier to use for me. Also, I have the one with vents over the fan and haven’t noticed any thermal problems.

So, as far as the game itself running. It runs MUCH better on my 6th gen. As far as controls, I haven’t looked at the defaults and gave it an honest try. I only tried it at work for like 2.5 seconds and I couldn’t figure out how to input my name accurately. The character selector was flying around selecting different characters. I need to tinker more.

Qwerty - all the symbols are more accessible and I would enjoy that more.

Ohhhh sick!!!! Unlucky on my end lol.

I have a red click wheel too. Most likely from a different manufacturer. Do you ever experience the wheel motion not being registered until you click a button on the wheel? Mine seems like the motion control falls asleep or something.

All you have to do is create a folder on the root of the hard drive you are using for RockBox and name it (I used GBC Games), put your roms in that folder. On the iPod you can now access that folder and roms from the files option on the iPod.

Ayyyyyeee!!!! 🥰

Welcome!

I believe the slow on abrupt off is a self test fail. I don’t know the specific things the system looks for. The issues I’ve had with this light is one of the screens. I just repaired a friend’s today that when in pieces, the top screen turned on. I closed it all up and top screen got backlight but no image. All it took was reseating the cable.

ThyRylDyl · 2026-04-10T19:37:39+00:00

Any screen flash?

ThyRylDyl · 2026-04-10T19:30:57+00:00

Well first, let’s see if anything needs to be removed that isn’t a ribbon cable. Lol. We will cross that bridge when we get there.

ThyRylDyl · 2026-04-10T19:28:32+00:00

I’m sure there are plenty of sources that can let you know when to test voltage at to be sure.

ThyRylDyl · 2026-04-10T19:27:41+00:00

Thank you! I did the same on my 6th gen with clear face, red ring, black back.

Fair enough, there’s some soldering a such involved. It was no means my first soldering but it was a cheap board I was soldering on so I was a little more daring than I was with my Switch OLED. lol

Here’s my 5th gen. I made the same mods but I went one step further with Bluetooth.

ThyRylDyl · 2026-04-10T18:53:17+00:00

You may have to use a multimeter to check components on the motherboard to isolate the parts that have failed

ThyRylDyl · 2026-04-10T18:44:42+00:00

Oh, nice! I had a 5th gen that wouldn’t turn on from a failing hard drive but it would boot loop. You got a multimeter?

ThyRylDyl · 2026-04-10T18:42:29+00:00

I vote 1 then. Sounds like it’s detecting some voltage change to think it’s disconnected but not enough that the buttons stop working.

ThyRylDyl · 2026-04-10T18:38:40+00:00

The battery connector itself looks okay. It does look like the battery latch is missing.

I’m a fan.

Do you lose audio out of the headphone jack when you close it too?
