Hi all, Here is mine: a couple of weeks ago I found back my old 6th gen Ipod classic, I put aside few years ago because a dock connector pin was bent, the ipod was unable to sync. But it still could charge and play music. I decided to revive it, and bought a new connector. Waiting for it I started to gently disassemble it. Then I succeed to unbent the pin. But when I reassembled it, it did not power on, neither be recognized by my computer or charge. I did not hear any HDD sound. I checked the battery with a multimeter and it is ok. Then it should be the logic board?! How could it be? Is there a way to be sure it is dead? If some battery connector was damaged the computer would recognize it, wouldn’t it?
Thank you
marottabruno go ahead and replace the dock connector. This sounds like broken or shorted pins since this started after you straightened the pins. BTW checking a battery with a multimeter is very unreliable since the battery may fail under a load. When in doubt, replace it.
