Einleitung

Im Laufe der Zeit können bei alten iPods mit Festplatten häufige Fehler wie ein leerer Akku oder eine nicht reagierende Festplatte auftreten. In dieser Anleitung werden wir eine alte Festplatte eines iPod 4G durch eine Micro-SD-Karte mit potenziell größerer Kapazität ersetzen. (Der in diesem Tutorial gezeigte Bildschirm ist ein Zeichen für eine fehlerhafte Festplatte)

    • Schiebe die "Hold"-Taste vor Reparaturbeginn in die Sperrstellung. Dazu muss die orangefarbene Markierung sichtbar sein.

    How necessary is it to have the HOLD switch in the locked position? On my iPod the switch is stuck in the unlocked position and I can't force it into locked.

    Is locking the iPod for a mechanical reason or an electrical/software reason?

    It is for an electrical reason. If the iPod hold switch is kept on, the device will not turn on, thus ensuring the device stays powered off while performing service.

    I have a 60 GB iPod photo that needs a new Logic Board. I bought a 30 GB used iPod on eBay and replaced the Logic Board. Now the iPod thinks the hard drive is only 30 GB, when it is really 60 GB. It works, but the hard drive is not recognized for its full size. Sites like this offer a 20 GB and 40 GB logic board...I apparently need 60 GB. Can I bypass this somehow, or do I really need a logic board that is specifically made for 60 GB???

    Mark -

    My 30gig drive shows up as a 16.4gig. I can not for the life of me, figure out why this is doing this. Can anyone help? Thanks!

    Stephan -

    Hello,

    First thank you for this tuto and help.

    I did follow your instructions and every step was ok but when I closed my i'Pod, it kept staying on the lock position even with moving the lock button.

    Now it has charged but I could not make it run.

    So I did a complete reboot by connecting it to my Mac with i'Tunes to restore.

    It's still locked.

    What can I do?

    Than You for your answer

    Thomas

    Much quicker and far easier opening from the right side instead of from the top using the blue plastic spudger. Opened in under 10sec. Do not know why this guide asks you to start from the top and work it to the left corner. Perhaps it was meant as a challenge.

    Edwin Seah -

    Well, I did it! I am pretty mechanically inclined, but I don't work well with small stuff. Anyway, as others mentioned, this step was the hardest for me, the included tools, worthless (to start to separate the case) As another person mentioned, I used a razor blade on the side on the upper left corner pushing down toward the metal clips, 'pop' once the first came off, then I used the blue tools to release the remaining clips. I didn't want to remove the connector in step 8, but had literally no room to work, the connector is a square push in type that is attached to the ribbon cable, I pryed with the blue tool carefully at the connector base, it popped right off! (getting is back on was more challenging, but managed with a small pair of needle nose pliers.) Had to pry the old battery out carefully - it was really in there. Got it all back together, works like a champ! Thanks ifixit!

    mikesnyder -

    Promptly broke both blue plastic tools. I used a putty knife to pop the case. Opening was the only hard part. I didn't disconnect the headphone cable. No problems and the battery has enough charge that I listening to Bare Naked Ladies now. Last week I installed a new hard drive in my Mac mini. IFixit is the greatest!

    heldon -

    If you are lucky, your battery may swell up like mind did, short of blowing up it opened the case for me. That being done really made it easy and encouraged me to do the repair myself. I still needed the proper screw driver (T6 Torx Screwdriver) to remove the two black torx screws that are found at step 10 of this repair guide. I purchased the iFixit 64bit driver kit, simply because I intend to work on several other iPods and phones, the kit is of good quality, well worth the purchase. If you have some mechanical ability, and follow the instructions, I was done in about 20 minutes, placed it back on my Bose player. I couldn't wait for it to charge, just wanted it to start playing, and after a minute or so my iPod 4th gen 20 gb was playing the music which I hadn't heard in about 3 to 4 years, as a result of a enlarged battery. As I write these comments down, I'm listening to my sweet tunes with a big smile on my mug, the sign of a satisfied customer. Thanks to iFIXIT.!!!

    • Setze ein Plektrum so tief wie möglich an der rechten Kante des iPods in die Naht zwischen der Kunststoff-Vorderseite und der Metallrückseite ein.

    • Wahrscheinlich musst du das Plektrum etwas hin und her ruckeln, damit es weit hineingeht.

    • Heble mit dem Plektrum gegen die Kunststoff-Vorderseite, so dass sich die fünf Haltelaschen lösen (im dritten Bild zu sehen).

    • Heble weiter mit dem Plektrum um die Kanten des iPods herum und löse die restlichen Haltelaschen.

    • Wenn die fünf Haltelaschen an der rechten Seite gelöst sind, sollte sich das Gehäuse leicht öffnen lassen.

    This being the first time I opened my iPod, it was super tight. Nothing plastic I had was strong enough; even my thumbnail just barely could get a sliver of separation, not big enough to wedge anything else in there. The sandwiched halves of the case chewed up my spudger pretty good, and so I actually resorted (slap on wrist) to a Liquitex acrylic-painting knife, kind of a superthin metal spatula, which worked perfectly. Just had to slide it in carefully. Unit is way out of warranty, though, so I wasn’t too concerned about some superficial damage to the edge of the plastic case front, which did in fact occur. Probably be easier next time around.

    gginex -

    This step is incorrect and should be changed. There is no way to slide anything into that space except a straight edge razor blade or something just as sharp and sturdy. Once the blade is firmly in place, you can then slip in an opening pick and remove the blade. From there, everything else is accurate.

    Kelly -

    I second the suggestion of using a putty knife. Worked way better! A bit nerve-racking at first as I was afraid of doing serious damage, but I succeeded. I’m definitely a novice at this, but these comments helped at every turn.

    Lori Farthing -

    I also had trouble opening the case at first but, having looked at some other instructions from other guides, I found it easiest to start the opening from the top, After that everything was straitforward. Installing the new battery and reconnecting the couple of connectors took less than two minutes. New battery charging now, but iPod working perfectly at the moment. Many thanks.

    Clive Richards -

    No way you're getting a pick in there. I tried and it's too tight. Start with iPod opening tool to make your gap. Hold it open and wiggle in a pick. Then wiggle and slide the pick up and down the side and it pops right open.

    SEAN Tanton -

    This was by far the most difficult step of the repair process. Did eventually get it open using jewelers tiny flat blade screwdriver and then the pick, Scratched up the case a little on the corner but got the job done,

    tom -

    I had a lot of trouble with this. This video made it super easy though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYZqTvlT... Pressing firmly on the back in the center and using the case opener tool made it super easy. Recommend!

    Sam Soffes -

    I found that starting at the top was much easier than the side. I also found the pick too soft. The plastic spudger included in kit worked great.

    James Monahan -

    Spent an hour trying I had no tools but my long nails it worked with no damage to the ipod rip my nails though

    James middleton -

    Just to make this idiot proof [e.g.: folks like me]. The right edge of the iPod means this: place the iPod face up, with the screen at the top and the wheel at the bottom. Then right is your right [note that it is your right, not the iPod's].

    Nebur -

    Done. Used two Credit Cards as I am not a guitar-guy and didn't have a plectrum :D
    Got in through the top side though and worked my way around.

    Mind the left for the cable to the headphone jack.

    Riesling -

    I second the comment made above on watching this video -- I also think that "case opener tool" used in the video was much better than the pick and also included in my standard iFixit toolkit.

    • Das iPod ist jetzt offen, aber trenne die beiden Teile noch nicht voneinander. Die Kopfhörerbuchse ist immer noch mit einem orangefarbenen Flachbandkabel am Logic Board angeschlossen.

    • Öffne das Gehäuse wie ein Buch mit der Kante des Dockanschlusses nach oben und lege die Rückseite neben die vordere Hälfte des iPod.

    This is the most fragile piece to work with in the whole process. Make sure you have some glasses or something and actually watch the individual pins while you reconnect the cable. I can't see so close, and didn't see what I was doing clearly. Consequently I broke the pins.

    Adam Logan -

    In my case the cable of of Headphone Jack was to short. so i Cent oben it like a book. instead i lifted the backside up until it gets hold by the cable. Then slowly move the backside to the right ( if the Headphone Jack is facing you). perhaps u have to tilt it a little so ist gets over the corner of the hdd. Now is the Plug in reach of a spudge from three sides. It make its also easier to reconnect the plug to the socket.

    In meinen Fall war das Kabel leider zu kurz. stattdessen habe ich die Rückseite parallel angehoben, soweit das Kabel reichte. Dann die Rückseite vorsichtig nach rechts bewegen ( die Anschlüsse zeigen dabei zu einen hin). Unter Umständen muss man durch etwas Kippen der Rückseite über die Ecke der Festplatte bugsieren. der Stecker ist jetzt von drei Seiten aus erreichbar ( Spudge oder ähnliches). auch beim wieder einstöpseln kann man den Stecker besser /grader aufsetzen.

    • Benutze ein Plastikwerkzeug oder deine Fingernägel, um das orange Kopfhörerbuchsenkabel vorsichtig zu lösen. Achte darauf, am Stecker gerade nach oben zu ziehen, nicht am Kabel selbst.

    • Dieses Flachbandkabel ist sehr zerbrechlich. Wenn du den Akku austauschst, kannst du diesen Schritt überspringen und die Kopfhörerbuchse mit der Hauptplatine verbunden lassen.

    • Stütze und klebe das hintere Gehäuse gegen eine Schachtel, um es an Ort und Stelle zu halten. Achte bei der Arbeit darauf, das zerbrechliche Kabel der Kopfhörerbuchse nicht zu überdehnen.

    Be very careful disconnecting. In fact may want to leave connected. I "removed" the entire piece pins and all from the board and had to replace the logic board to fix. A $15 fix turned into $65. Happy to say got it fixed with a new board but this was a crucial step that cost me big time! Again leave headphone jack connected if at all possible!!

    DO NOT remove the ribbon cable unless absolutely necessary. I also removed the black female plug from the logic board by mistake. However, in my case I was able to plug it back in and it still works (phew!). Lucky. I might have destroyed some soldering, I don't know ... but it works.

    Paul -

    At this point I damaged the motherboard irreversibly!!

    This guide should be modified. You should not attempt this step. Either you replace the battery without disconnecting the ribbon. Or if you really want more room, you unscrew the other little board from the the metal half of the case.

    Now I have to buy another ipod :-(

    Guillaume Barreau -

    It is worth noting that the connector for the iPod 4th gen and the iPod photo/color are NOT compatible. The 4th gen has only 10 pins, whereas the photo/color have 12 pins.

    Miles Raymond -

    I successfully installed the new battery without removing the ribbon cable.

    Michael Caputi -

    &&^&. Just ripped the circuit. Destroyed my iPod. Thanks for nothing. Other fixes do not have this step. Horribly disappointed. This needs to be deleted!

    Adam -

    Any idea if it can be resoldered?

    Adam -

    I followed the advice in the comments and skipped this step entirely. I did not remove this connecter. It made the remaining steps more difficult because I couldn’t lay the parts open flat, but I managed to do it by myself without removal.

    Lori Farthing -

    Mine had plenty of slack to lay open like a book without disconnecting. Check this first and don't mess with it if you don't need to. It's not necessary for changing a battery.

    SEAN Tanton -

    It is perfectly easy to remove the cable if you are careful and observe what you are attempting to disengage. The plug on the ribbon cable goes into the small black socket on the motherboard. Look sideways at the assembly and slide a thin spudger between the top of the socket and the small board that forms the end of the cable. Lever gently upwards to disengage the cable plug. That way you cannot exert force between the socket and the motherboard and you won’t damage the board.

    Pete Mackenzie -

    It's like a Lego I just popped it off sorry for those who broke it

    If u can leave it plugged

    James middleton -

    I snapped the cable. The comments scared me about disconnecting it so I left it connected, and then damaged it wrestling with the battery. Disconnecting it was easy and I should have done so in the first place.

    Ben -

    I also broke the ribbon cable like others before me. I was a fool to disconnect the ribbon cable. MY HUBRIS!!!!!

    • Ziehe den Stecker der Festplatte ab und achte darauf, dass er nicht kaputt geht. Halte den iPod mit einer Hand fest und hebe die Festplatte heraus.

    • Schiebe die MicroSD-Kartein in den CF-Express-Adapter ein.

    • Setze den CF-Adapter in den CE-Adapter ein.

    Any idea where I can get the “CE to CF adapter“ from?

    Andy Galletly -

    Pourquoi ne pas mettre directement une carte Compact Flash ?

    Mo' Cheez -

    C'est tout à fait possible, cependant les cartes CF sont plus chères à stockage égal qu'un duo CF vers micro-sd + micro sd.

    Marc_Alx -

    Do I have to format my sd card to FAT32 Or what format ?

    Savvas Savva -

    For windows ntfs, for macOS HFS.

    Marc_Alx -

    What happens, when it is formatted in FAT32? It there the "Sad iPod"-Display? I have a CF-Card, but no reader, so I cannot format it in another system at the moment..

    • Je nach verwendetem CE-Adapter kann es sein, dass ein Stopper am Festplattenanschluss entfernt werden muss. Nimm dazu eine Pinzette.

    • Wenn du merkst, dass der Adapter nicht richtig passt, muss dieser Stopper entfernt werden, sonst wird die Speichereinheit nicht erkannt.

    Is it always the same 4 pins that remain empty or can this also vary from adapter to adapter?

    On my adapter, an LED lights up when I insert it in the centered position, when I insert the adapter as shown in the photo, nothing lights up. Unfortunately, the adapter does not work as desired in any of the positions, but for troubleshooting purposes it would be interesting to know whether the position must always be the same or whether it could vary.

    • Stecke die Speichereinheit anstelle der alten Festplatte ein.

    • Es ist normal, wenn im Anschluss vier Kontakte frei bleiben.

    • Es ist empfehlenswert, die Speichereinheit mit doppelseitigem Klebeband am Akku zu befestigen.

    • Die Speichereinheit ist dünner als die alte Festplatte. Gleiche den Unterschied mit einem passenden Stück Karton aus.

  9. 5khQ1OfWjMIrBjL2

    • Verbinde vor dem Zusammenbau den Anschluss des Gehäuseunterteils.

  10. 2jNZKxSNFjJL1Mux

    • Baue den iPod noch nicht ganz zusammen. Schließe ihn erst an den Computer an. Es könnte ja sein, dass du ihn nochmals öffnen musst und das ist doch recht aufwändig.

    • Lege das Gehäuseoberteil in das Unterteil ein, ohne es hineinzudrücken.

  11. POoIDY55M46jYZAV

    • Wenn du es bisher noch nicht gemacht hast, musst du die Software für den iPod auf deinem Computer installieren. Folge der Anleitung von iTunes, starte deinen iPod neu und schließe ihn am Computer an.

  12. UjZy5KrPxk1yW2Ys

    • Wenn dein iPod mit dem Computer verbunden ist wird iTunes dich auffordern, den iPod wiederherzustellen. Folge den Anweisungen von iTunes.

    • Wenn der iPod wiederhergestellt ist, wird er dich auffordern ihn ans Netzteil anzuschließen. Solange dieses Symbol auf dem Display erscheint, kannst du nicht weiterarbeiten.

    • Es reicht wahrscheinlich nicht, ihn an einen Computer anzuschließen, der Strom genügt nicht. Wenn die Anzeige nicht verschwindet, überprüfe nochmals das Kabel und das Netzteil, ein 1 A Ladegerät eines iPhones sollte ausreichen.

    • Wenn das Menü zur Sprachauswahl erscheint, kannst du weitermachen.

    Note: use an apple charger plus usb to 30-pin cable. I tried my super powerful usb c apple charger with an adaptor to connect to the 30-pin cable - it doesn’t let enough juice through.

    • Es ist wichtig, den iPod vor dem Zusammenbau ausgiebig zu testen. Wie hört sich der Ton an, wie ist die saubere Funktion des Klickrades, die Synchronisation der Musik und die Ladefunktion.

    • Wenn etwas nicht richtig funktioniert, dann überprüfe nochmals jeden einzelnen Schritt.

Abschluss

Um deinen iPod wieder zusammenzubauen, folge den Schritten in umgekehrter Reihenfolge.

J ai essayer tous ces etapes mais l ipod reste bloquer sur la pomme j ai meme changer une nouvelles batterie

mounir djebara -

Vielen Dank für die Anleitung! Mien Problem ist ein anderes! Der Akku wurde 2 Mal ausgewechselt. Hierbei wurde die Möglichkeit des Aufladens beschädigt. Wer kann diesen Fehler beheben, oder wie kann ich die Funktion des Aufladens wieder herstelen?
