1:29 Dankpods said it's the NIGHTMARE MODE...

[@riceexe]

No, nightmare mode only happens on the 6th gen.

[@leoepcotfan2144]

Try using compound used for waxing cars on the scratched screens. It might help with the scratches. Great video as always! 👌🏻

[@nolanrembert189]

DankPods also made a video and he used braso and 2000 grit sandpaper to fix the scratches

[@silasweaver8268]

With that last ipod, the FireWire cable uses a much higher voltage than the usb cable, which can sometimes be what the hard drive needs to run effectively (they can run on 3v-30v if I remember correctly), and it delivers slightly more power (somewhere around.4 watts I think), so if the hard drive needs that extra kick to run, it might be the case that usb just isn’t powerful enough/high enough voltage to charge and power it, I also have an ipod docking system that’s has been able to deliver power on the same level as FireWire, so this seems in line with what you’re experiencing

[@silasweaver8268]

And for the deeper scratches on the screens, I would recommend sandpaper and wd40, starting at 1000 grit and going up, then brasso, the brasso alone is too fine to remove the deeper scratches

[@caromac_]

Hi Hugh! I love your videos! It’s great to see how far you’ve come! I remember in 2017 you would fix tooonnnssss of iPhone 4. I’m currently fixing up my iPad mini 3. It’s an absolute nightmare. The speakers aren’t working after I’ve replaced them. The scores are in. And suggestions? Love your vids. Keep up the great work. I also had an iPod classic 3rd gen doing the same FireWire thing. Keep up the great work!

[@drcarrot415]

My iPod 5th gen had the same problem as the white slim one with the offset center button rubber piece. I just moved it back and applied some adhesive and it’s worked great since. I love when you work on some classic apple tech, would love to see a resto of something like an iMac G3 or the likes of.

Just use a multimeter to measure the USB VBUS voltage. After that check for broken caps or resistors in the Power management area. In the 5/5.5 gen the Philips PCF50607 is used for power management. It has an I2C bus and a 10bit ADC. But the LTC4066 LDO and USB Power Management/Lipo charger could also be a potential candidate. We can rule out the TEA1211HN Buck Converter because the iPod still works.

[@Spinnenkop]

Hugh, the iPods have clips that you need to unclip with an thin prying tool shoved between the frame and backcase. You’ll notice that they will be easier to open.

@@slow.elantra427 I use it every few days. Recently the wheel went (after three plus years). I've got 30 plus of them in a box next to me. All have issues, but easy to take parts from or fix. There's no other MP3 player like it on earth. Love the actual metal, versus cheap plastic of today.

[@slow.elantra427]

Does not effect the SSD, and the metal casing can more than handle it. The only weakness is the darned cable, goes from the SSD to the MB.

I think the FireWire one is working fully... some of the older iPods worked only with FireWire and not with usb due to Apple wanting to go with their standard on FireWire to provide better speeds than the usb at the time.

iPod Classic (4th or 5th gen and later) is not that easy to open with especially when I watched the Geek Detour video even with iSesamo blades & the fact that Hugh Jeffreys opened those faster than him is just impressive.

To polish the plastic, you should try Novis plastic polish and cleaner. Model builders use it to take scratches out of the plastic windshields in their models.
