got a dodgy ipod hard disk pintsized shows you how to sort it out here.

Reminds me of the good old days when my ipod Mark I died - almost. I was customizing an old ghetto blaster to accept an ipod in one of the tape slots - then it would be connected via a cable to the amp. All was going well until with the ipod in the tape slot i drilled a hole for the cable and forgot it was still there.

I managed to widen the headphone socket quite substantially with a powerdrill - which i thought had completely screwed the ipod, but i turned it on and all still worked - but the headphones wouldn’t connect properly.

But popping off the ipod case and getting to work with some bits of copper sheet an a soldering iron i got it all working fine again. The hard disk finally died a year later (and it only held 5GB) so i bought a 3rd generation a while ago. Perhaps I should replace the disk though and get it going again.

I wonder if I can upgrade the hard disk to a larger size….
