iPod Nano 7th Generation: Strange iPod screen distortion issue

Sat, 09 Sep 2023 08:56:19 -0700

iPod screen has started to show something strange on the screen. Almost like a visible file system in the background. Reset/reboot changes nothing and iPod behaves as normal. I’ve tried searching online for this issue but results bring up nothing like this issue. Is the screen just on its way out? Thanks for any replies ❤️

iPod Nano 7th Generation: screen looks weird like its been exposed to extreme heat or something

Thu, 03 Nov 2022 01:43:01 -0700

i have no idea how this happened, as i have only had this ipod nano for around 2 months and it looks like its melted or something and its extremely fuzzy

yes, that yellowish bit on the right is actually on the screen and not background light

charges fine, no touchscreen issues, nothing really other than the screen looking fuzzy and yellow in that one corner.

iPod Nano 7th Generation: How can I properly bend back a bent earphone jack?

Tue, 16 May 2017 08:53:11 -0700

I dropped my seventh generation iPod nano, and the earphone jack bent itself in, causing the circle to move in such a way that it is now impossible for me to insert my earphones. How can I bend the metal back without further damaging the device?

iPod Nano 7th Generation: My iPod doesn't recharge anymore unless I twist plug in the dock

Mon, 14 Sep 2015 20:15:45 -0700

I used to wear it at the gym in an armband especially designed for that. I don't know if it has been broken by sweat of arms flexions. When the problem started, I used to leave it upside down on the counter, and it was ok the day after, but not anymore today.

After replacing the digitizer on a Nano 7th Gen, the right side of touch screen is unresponsive. The black flex cables are in tact and folded correctly. Any ideas on what to try next?? This is the second digitizer to have this happen so most likely not a bad digitizer.

iPod Nano 7th Generation: New battery not charging

Mon, 17 May 2021 06:18:29 -0700

Hi all!

Have an Ipod Nano 7th Gen that was immediately dying upon removing it from power so I opened it up and soldered in a new battery. Now it no longer turns off when disconnected from power but it also doesn’t charge to 100%. I left it in for several hours on multiple chargers and it always shows around 1/4 charge or less. Any ideas? Could the replacement battery be bad? Did I not solder in the 3rd lead properly (assuming that one might be for battery status).

Thanks in advance for any suggestions. These are still good MP3 players in 2021 but little to no help or support from Apple.

iPod Nano 7th Generation: iPod doesn't turn on

Sun, 10 Jan 2021 07:38:12 -0700

I have an iPod Nano 7g and it doesn't turn on. Just a black screen. I have tried the home/sleep button + home button but that doesn't work. I have tried to turn it on. Nothing. I have left it charging for many many hours. Nothing. I have tried the recovery mode and iTunes method. Nothing. I have tried other cables and charger.

The iPod has not been dropped and no signs of physical damage. I guess the battery is dead and needs to be replaced.

I recently tried to fix my iPod nano 7th gen (front glass replacement) and when i powered it back on the screen was very washed out and there were a bunch of dead pixels in the bottom right corner. Is this an issue with the digitiser or something else? See link for a picture.
