iPod Touch 2nd Generation: How do I unlock an iPod touch?

Mon, 06 Jul 2026 18:51:02 -0700

I have an ipod touch that is "DISABLED". This has been laying around in the lost and found for months, I've finally decided I'm going to claim it if I can get it to work.

So, I've tried all of the restore commands. It starts connecting and downloading withitunes, however it says it cannot go any further without the passcode. I've searched for firmware, downloaded one and couldn't get it to work.

Does anyone have any ideas? I don't have the original computer that was connected to the ipod either...they didn't leave that laying around...

Thanks for any help you can give

iPod Nano 6th Generation: How do I get the iPod Nano to charge? It stopped accepting the charger

Thu, 02 Jul 2026 09:16:15 -0700

My iPod Nano was low on battery and I tried to charge it; I plugged in the charger but it didn't charge. Since it wasn't taking a charge, it ended up shutting down and won't turn on again.

iPod Nano 7th Generation: iPod Nano 7th Gen Battery Pad & Via Damage – Won’t Hold Charge

Thu, 02 Jul 2026 00:14:56 -0700

Hey everyone, I need some help with an iPod Nano 7th gen board repair.

I accidentally damaged the original battery pad (red circle) and also damaged the small gold via/test point (black circle). To repair the battery connection, I ran a thin copper jumper wire from the yellow circled point, which appears to be a good battery trace/pad, to the damaged battery pad area.

The iPod powers on, but it doesn’t seem to hold a charge properly. I tried charging it, but the battery either doesn’t charge or doesn’t retain the charge.

My questions are:

Does my jumper repair from the yellow point to the original battery pad look correct?
Could the damaged gold via/test point in the black circle be part of the charging or battery sensing circuit?
Is there a way to determine where that damaged via originally connected?
Has anyone repaired this area on an iPod Nano 7th gen before and knows the correct fix?

ALSO HOW CAN I FIX THAT YELLOW DOT IN THE BLACK CIRCLE

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I’ve attached photos of the damage and my repair attempt. Thanks!

iPod Touch 7th Generation: What Is This Tab At The Bottom Where The Jack/Speakers Are?

Tue, 23 Jun 2026 10:43:46 -0700

I'm replacing the screen/faceplate of a 7th gen iPod touch. I came across the tab circled in red and I'm unsure on what it is. It seems to be preventing me from fully pulling the battery up and I haven't worked on one of these devices before. The Ifixit tutorials seem to have that tab in their tutorials, but it's not mentioned and it's a copper color.

Could someone point me in the right direction and tell me how to remove the tab or move it out of the way?

Thanks!
