iPod Touch 7th Generation: Can't remove the front display!

It seems impossible to remove the front display! I used the iOpener repeatedly, a heat gun, all to no avail. I bought a new display and all the tools to replace it, but I can't get started. The adhesive just doesn't want to budge! Help!

iPod Classic 7th Generation: Firmware preventing my iPod from using itunes on a mac

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 12:09:47 -0700

Fixed the hard drive on my IPod Classic gen 7 and now I cannot open it with Itunes on my mac powerbook computer.

The message says..

"The ipod could not be restored because the firmware file is not compatible".

I tried restarting the computer and changing out cables but it still won't work.

Is there any other way to fix this or get my songs loaded onto my ipod for free?

Thanks

iPod 5th Generation (Video): iPod classic gen 5 not being detected by PC

Mon, 25 May 2026 17:04:20 -0700

Ipod classic gen 5 not being detected by PC (not even under Device Manager > USB Controllers

But it charges fine via USB and wall

Already cleaned dock, tested multiple cables, did the 5 Rs, tested 3 different laptops (mac, linux, windows 11).

Ipod will fully charge via USB and wall but won't get detected as USB device.

I don't know what could be the problem.

I'm guessing logic board or something on the 30 pin but would be weird if only the data pin is faulty while charge seems to work fine.

One thing that's interesting though. In diagnostics mode in the accessory test, it only shows FWRPWR and not USBPWR or USB_Detect that seems to appear on other devices.

iPod Touch 5th Generation: Can I swap an iPod touch 6's casing on a touch 5?

Fri, 08 May 2026 00:30:03 -0700

After cutting my hand open trying to take the "iPod loop" off my old casing(my replacement that I bought in China didn't come with one somehow) I now decided I hate that thing and was just wondering whether I can just slap an iPod touch 6's casing on a touch 5 and call it a day. I saw the teardown and repair videos of both devices and it seems to me the only significant difference is the prescence of the pointless "iPod loop" on the touch 5.

Can anyone confirm whether I can swap the casing between them? thanks in advance

iPod 5th Generation (Video): iPod 5th gen ground (fine wire mesh) lost placement query

Thu, 07 May 2026 07:18:41 -0700

Ipod Fans and Old Tech Resurrectionist,

It took apart an iPod 5th Gen A1136 but during the process I lost track of the fine mesh ground horribly pictured with this question. The ground mesh is the same type that is adhered to the top of the charge port at the bottom of the logic board.

Not sure why there is a second ground (not counting the click wheel ground) when the faceplate is plastic on this model but this is probably why I am not an engineer. I would like to return this very small part to it’s original home in the case without buying another unopened iPod to study.

Any assistance where this second ground mesh is placed is greatly appreciated. I am finding nothing on the internet about these spongy fine wire mesh grounding strap? Thingy?

Sincerely,

Leo
