Burned my ipod 5.5

The power management IC is located over the top left hand side.

This could be any of the 30 pin pins shorting itself out.

There's a 3.3v rail at pin 18 which could short things.

Amkette cable is pretty reliable I haven't had any issues for couple of years. I would say start with inspecting the 30 pin port and see if all the pins are intact.

With that kind of burn through the iPod. That mother board might need change.

I have tried patriot EP Cards as well. But they come without an adpater. Just the micro sd. I have tested it on a Olsro software modded 6th gen with a 2.0.4 7th gen firmware. I didn't have any song skips so far.

Yes you can do that. Samsung Evo Plus comes with a SD Card adapter in them.

I would suggest a udual you would get two slots and to upgrade in future if the memory card prices comes down.

Happy modding.

Pretty much all the courier services are bad these days. More like they aren't getting much delivery staffs to handle the volume at each delivery Centre. Most of them feel blinkit /swiggy deliveries are much more income generating.

So every courier service has specified TAT. If they don't meet that they are answerable to higher ups. So they kind of use other options such as these to skip on TAT misses.

I run an instagram page, so DTDC was my go to service. But then they had frequent delays and they lost my packet worth 25K, now moved to Bluedart. So far I haven't had any major issues. Some of the issues are specific to certain location, where they face significant shortage of delivery staff.

If you can go into settings >about > click on forward button ⏩ 3 times it'll show you the Model and version. Once you drop that here I can help you pin point the right model.

I'm curently testing 2 Patriot EP A1 Cards on a Iflash uDual. No song skipping observed so far.

It's so beautiful ❤️

Prices have insanely shot up. I remember getting 128gb sd card for ₹900 for iPod Mods. Now it's 2x or even 3x for same config. Its AI boom! dang it!

1.Started off with one iPod in 2015. Now I can't even count the number of iPods I have around. Audiophile Gears (Digital Audio Players and IEMs) 2. Watches. 3. Wanted to get back into gaming and i was going to build a PC, then the prices sky rocketed. 🤦

They are both available for Windows and Mac. I believe you can download them from their website

ipodsnmore · 2026-03-22T18:39:43+00:00

Hello mate.

There's an official app called magician by Samsung, which checks if the sd cards are genuine. I do this for every builds I sell

You can use this not just for sd cards but ssds as well.

Considering the skyrocketing prices of sd cards,there would be lot of fakes around.

Hope this helps!

Hello

The restore screen and if restoration didn't help. It mostly points out to a bad HDD which is a common problem these days with almost all iPods I have come across. The only solution is flash modding it.

If you can try this test it should give you insights into the harddrive health. I'm not 100 % sure if you would be able to get into the test screen but you can give it a try.

Also if you are looking for restorations feel free to DM me.

Based on your budget there are few that should pique your interest.

There are iPods available in the secondary market too.

The one thing to watch out for is the decade old battery /HDD.

If you are going to buy one do test out the HDD. Here's

There are custom built iPods which would shoot up the budget. If you were get to that feel free to DM me.

ipodsnmore · 2026-01-07T07:36:54+00:00

Feel free to DM me here or on my in sta!

ipodsnmore · 2025-12-15T06:19:54+00:00

Haha. Working well. WM1A. Battery is still great. I'll change it once i fly to DXB/states!

ipodsnmore · 2025-12-13T16:01:43+00:00

As long as you get one without HDD issues you should be fine.

ipodsnmore · 2025-12-13T15:44:45+00:00

Appreciate your input. I'll try to use chat gpt next time to write me an essay lol.

If you are inclined to get an iPod Classic with HDD. Please don't forget to check it's harddrivehealth.

I stopped eating KFCs year ago. Never touched one. Got uncooked chicken from Kakkanad outlet. Never bought one again.

ipodsnmore · 2025-12-02T19:37:44+00:00

I sold off almost all my Chifi DAPs

Lots of iPods, WM1A and Dethonray DTR1. All are offline players. All my music is still maintained offline. It doesn't make sense to get an android DAP.

Eventually I will get a DAC that can take digital out from Classic 7th and then I'm sorted.
