I bought a used ipod off ebay so I could replace the battery and hdd having done the replacements I can’t get the ipod to work again The ipod powers on and either displays a sad ipod icon or tells me to connect to a pc to restore on itunes When I connect it up to restore on itunes it powers on and displayed the do not disconnect screen for a while before rebooting to show the sad ipod icon The device is also not being detected by itunes or showing up on any computer I connect it to. I’m starting to think that this is a logicbord or hd cable issue. Is there a way to tell which it might be or is there a step I have missed
Hi I had this issue with a 7th gen and I fixed it by doing the following Putting into disk mode Here’s a link! https://www.wikihow.com/Put-an-iPod-Into… And reformatting the drive in disk utility then try and restore it Hopefully this helps Thanks:-)
