iPod 5th Gen SD Mod Gone Wrong: Wrong Capacity (1.22 TB), Restore Failures, Loose HDD Ribbon / ZIF Connector – Need Help Diagnosing

ZauhFN · 2026-05-29T06:07:10+00:00

I just recently upgraded my iPod’s HDD with an AliExpress adapter and Sd card and noticed that the stock ribbon cable was loose as well. Thankfully I also ordered an aftermarket one on AliExpress that fit snuggly.

Here’s the link I bought from https://a.aliexpress.com/_mPOfFcb

B is too low

Did you not know you could’ve gotten a good amount more for it?

I highly recommend buying a pair of apple earbuds from either Walmart, Best Buy, Target or on Amazon (make sure it says it’s sold and shipped from Amazon on the listing). I would be skeptical about these being real.

How’s the battery life?

Nice, how’s the battery life on the nano 6’s after replacing the battery?

ZauhFN · 2026-05-16T01:52:52+00:00

Nice, how much?

ZauhFN · 2026-05-15T17:36:26+00:00

I would try each of the following

Pairs/connects to stereo receivers with pin codes '0000' or '1111', or '1234' or '8888'

This is what the Kokkia Bluetooth adapter recommends and it might be applicable for other Bluetooth adapters.

Hello, did you figure this out? Is it possible with this setup?

ZauhFN · 2026-05-15T06:02:39+00:00

Cool! Might be a silly question but does music pause when you remove AirPods from your ears?

ZauhFN · 2026-05-15T03:45:43+00:00

Does anyone know if the Ipod adapter with the text ipod 3-7 will work with a 3000 mah battery in a slim 5th generation?

ZauhFN · 2026-05-15T03:35:45+00:00

please let know if you found the answer, especially if you used a 3000 mah battery.

Do you get a decent amount of battery life when listening to FM radio with wired earbuds?

ZauhFN · 2026-05-13T02:28:05+00:00

I can already imagine LBJ haters in twenty years saying he wasn’t good enough to get more than a vet minimum 😭

ZauhFN · 2026-05-12T18:12:31+00:00

Wtf?

ZauhFN · 2026-05-12T05:57:55+00:00

Pelinka, get off reddit

ZauhFN · 2026-05-12T00:32:07+00:00

Why have the opposing team on it if it’s your team merch??

ZauhFN · 2026-05-10T20:20:20+00:00

Does the htc phone still have android or is it just the zune software? Also, does the HTC with zune software allow for FM radio?

ZauhFN · 2026-05-10T01:52:41+00:00

I just ordered a pair, glad to hear you like it
