iPod – fix it yourself
January 13, 2008
Last week the sad face came up on my iPod for the first time. It had been acting a big quarkey lateley but o’no not the sad face ! I ran off to the Apple store for help. When I got there the white brick decided that it would not even show the sad face – no booting, nothing – so all they could say to me was -” it can’t be fixed, you can upgrade” Well, I’d love to upgrade but I thought there’s gotta be a way. I had faith that I could do something about making it function. I went online to CrunchGear and low and behold, they had instructions on how to possibly save the old white brick. I solved my problem. I did not have to take it apart – all I had to do was push in the back of the iPod so that the achilles heel (the hard disk) got pushed back into place. At least that worked for me. I’m a happy camper for the moment and I’ll wait a bit to upgrade. For all of you who don’t know about the site go to
www.crunchgear.com and look up How to fix an ipod that won’t boot
Good Luck!
