Last night my IPod 4th Gen 40GB died.
- It wouldn’t show up in ITunes or explorer.
- It hung everything that tried to access it.
- Couldn’t access it through DOS shell.
- Couldn’t run chkdsk.
- Graphical error messages like these
informing me to contact Apple support appearing on my IPod screen.
I thought that the hard drive had died & that I had a dead IPod, until my mate sent me this link Fixit Guide IPods and another mate sent me this one replace ipod hard drive.
So tonight I took my IPod apart to see how hard it would be, with a view to buying a replacement hard drive & fitting it.
- I took the IPod apart - easy
- Took the hard drive out - also easy
- Gave the hard drive a little tap & a shake
- Put it all back together again
- IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Ran chkdsk - no errors found
Very happy am I!
So if you think your IPod is dead, think again & Dig Lazarus Dig!!!
