How to repair iPod Nano 6th Gen Power button

[@jerryraul5298]

Never ever unsnap the battery conector with something metal, it can cause a short circuit making you have to buy a new battery.

[@kaicallewaert2059]

Thank you, because of this video I was able to repare my ipod without any trouble and it works fine again now I'm so happy!

[@MVGEN36]

this did the fix for both my power button and volume buttons, i got a little confused on what material to use, because i didn’t want to cut the seal in case if it weakens with moisture, but a small piece of sketching paper works good, but sadly in the end i broke the screen, so im just waiting to get a new one in the mail

[@TheTitanosaurus10]

Just fixed the problem with my nano today! I've had this problem for several years and thought I would need a technician to fix it. Thank you for making this video!

[@carafeeley]

This is very helpful, thank you! I have literally had three iPod nanos die this way over the years, now I can finally use them again.

[@eg1885]

I still use my iPod for exercise and the volume button just stopped working. I was able to fix it thanks to this video.

[@julianosilvasousa]

Dude, wherever u are now, thank you so much for this tutorial... After a long time I'll finally be able to use it again. I had some problems with the kind of rubber to use, sometimes it was too much or not enough, but at last it worked! Even the touchscreen got better, cuz it wasnt working properly. And if it stops again I already know what to do, thanks to you.

[@Simos805]

I'm happy to know that my tutorial helped you so much! Stay tuned for more tech videos I will uploading!

[@marathonhero]

WHAT KIND OF LITTLE RUBBER PIECE DID YOU USE, MY POWER BUTTON IS FUCKED TOO ????

[@julianosilvasousa]

@@marathonhero man that was a long time ago lol but any kind of rubber or soft plastic (like some usb cable), as long as it doesn’t tear under pressure, take a thin slice of it and use a double sided tape to place it.

Best tutorial I´ve seen so far .... really well done .... just one small hint of advice from someone that has gone through your "time" and has experienced the same sentiments .... : Stop chewing your fingernails !! ;-)

[@Simos805]

+Christian Jessen Thank You very much!! My friend told me before you said it and I'm trying to stop it! ;)

[@Schenectadont]

I'm also a chewer. I feel you, bro.

[@AshleyFoxo]

I ripped the cable on mine but thanks for showing the insides and how the buttons are put together, I nearly got all the way there but must've pulled too hard towards the end. First time I've ripped a ribbon cable after repairing various tech devices! Good news for anyone who's made the same mistake as me is that a new cable with buttons and a headphone jack can be got from aliexpress for £4 shipped. Nothing on eBay for local stock but it's better than nothing! Honestly, might be worth doing if this free fix doesn't do it for you either. If you're going as far to replace the battery as well, you might as well spend the extra money imo.

[@apawstate]

I have at least three 8th Gen Nanos with broken power buttons. I love the 6th gens, but I'm sick of buying more because of dead buttons. I'm going to give this a shot!

[@Simos805]

Yes, I think it can

[@GeneralErlend]

Good video, but I am a bit reluctant to do this (I probably will at some point though). Perhaps to give the video even more details, put some annotations to say exactly what you are doing and some things to be extremely careful with and exactly what to look for?

[@bodyswakefield2405]

This video was great and I fixed the button, after years of keeping the nano and hoping one day I’d know what to do! But when I put it all back together the screen isn’t displaying properly, it shows a black splodge with a rainbow halo around it and I can make the splodge change by pressing on it. Have I broken the screen or have I put it back together wrong?

[@Simos805]

I think you broke the screen somehow… it is very fragile from the inside.

[@seniorfrog7391]

You took it apart way farther than you had to dude !!!

[@holohulolo]

I tried fixing this same issue years ago, but I guess heated it for too long, I remember the metal case was too hot for me to touch the way you did when you use that suction. My screen died probably because of that. Also I just notice that black thing you used was rubber. I was using a double tape and a plastic from those blister packs and it was apparently too thick. The button is out, but I couldn't press it down. Eventually I used 2 layers of scotch tape and it worked fine, plugged it into iTunes, seems to work fine but the screen is dead.

[@Norbert_Treborn]

Thanks, i managed to repair all of my not working buttons. Here is my testymony (xD): Tools: sharp knife, Lego plastic stick, tape, super glue, 2 pins, sand paper and a coin. I did this without disconnecting screen and electronics part, i pulled everything aside and there was enough space. I cut a small piece of plastic from Lego stick with my knife Instead of tape i used super glue, i pured some on a coin and then i dipped a pin in to it and touched the middle of orange pushy thing a couple of times. Then I stabbed little lego piece with another pin and pushed it against super glue on the orange thing. Then i adjusted the height of plastic piece with sandpaper so the button could actually spring out instead of being constantly pushed. I fucked up first time and added to much glue, i tried to scrape it off cause the metal couldn't click back and the orange thing went off leaving me with little loose piece of metal that clicks. I just used one side tape held it in place with one wrap and added piece of plastic with another wrap. The key here is size of the plastic if it's too wide it won't make the metal click, if it's too high it will be constantly pushed by the button.

[@ChukwuPIbe]

thank you. I am having a problem also with my power b. I will use your repair ways to fix my .

[@jovanab4070]

Hello! First of all, thank you for making such a detailed tutorial, it helped me so much and i was able to repair my sleep button. But i have a small problem. It looks like the screen won't go all the way down, it's still kind of sticking out. Bcs of that my touch is acting funny, sometimes it won't respond to my touch. Any help with that?

[@Simos805]

Check the connectors inside

[@Jebs-xp3py]

Next time though could you put in a warning of what items we would need to fix it seeing that I can't even put mine back together now because I didn't have double-sided tape

[@Simos805]

Sorry, but you better see the whole video and then try to fix your stuff. This applies for every KZbin tutorial video, bot just my videos.

[@miguelguerrero2304]

the little tape that you use, is doble face? (it works on both sides) or you put upside down? I cant understand very well the final part when you put the tape between screen and metal. THANKS, great video.

[@Simos805]

Yep, double face!

[@Simos805]

I'm putting the tape between the screen and the metal, at the place It was the glue before, to stick the screen the entire body.

[@yulaicesar]

+Simos805 any alternative to the double tape? some kind of glue maybe?

[@kamilarogacz2001]

That was very helpful, but i ripped the earphone jack cable and had to buy new. But now i have a problem, because maybe everything is working, but the audio is terrible, and i wonder what i could've done wrong, because i'm pretty sure i've clipped everything correctly. If someone has any idea i'll be really thankful

[@Landom90]

sorry, but if I broke the long piece ("plastic band") in minute 7:02......is it too bad?? can I fix it?? please give me an answer x0

Maybe something with the display connector? Otherwise a chip in the motherboard has a problem?

You should blame your self for attempting a repair when you don't have experience fixing electronics, I hate bitches that can blame everyone but them selves for their own mistakes.

[@Simos805]

Maybe dust got inside a connector? Try disconnect and re connect all the connectors again.

Probably yes, if the problem is the same!

You can search on eBay 🙂

What is the small protuberance there? Maybe if you shake it a little more it would have been visible

[@Simos805]

What?

[@PilotViewProductions]

How did you know the power button needed repairing? That is, when you pressed it, nothing happened? How did you know for example that it didn't just need a new battery and the button was working fine?

[@Simos805]

If I connected it to a power it worked fine and charged (it worked when I removed the charger) and all other buttons and functions was working perfect except for the power button.

[@CameronMcDonald]

Was the part you cut to add on top of the button from the surrounding plastic piece just millimeters away?

[@cuddlybearred9446]

What did you replace the microscopic black dot with?

[@Simos805]

+CuddlyBear With the tinny plastic rubber's piece I've cut. I mean the plastic rubber where around the button.

[@heyhocodyo97]

what kind of double sided tape did you use to hold the screen on im doing a screen replacement on mine

[@Simos805]

Use this, it's better for these jobs. www.ifixit.com/Store/Tools/3M-Double-Sided-Adhesive-Tape--2-mm-Width/IF145-283-1

[@heyhocodyo97]

Simos805 Thanks bud i appreciate the comment i replaced the screen and had the sticky adhesive thing and didn't know how to put it on and had it sorta together and opened it to fix it and it stripped the stuff off the back of the screen have to get a new screen and start from square one

[@Simos805]

I'm sorry for that bro.. Next time be more careful! Use this double sided tape to put the new screen back if it doesn't have his own tape.

[@LunaeLuman]

Your hand is wounded! You need healing. Thanks for sharing.

[@scvexercise]

good instructions UNTIL I started to reassemble and found that a chip resistor had pulled off the circuit board when I pulled up the tape adhering the display flex to the circuit board. I didn't bother to finish reassembly at that point but the instructions are great otherwise. My advice is to be more careful than I was getting the flex adhered to the circuit board released. sigh!

[@pulseperson3882]

I did this but now when I turn on my screen it is just white. I tried restarting it and I checked the connectors, still nothing. Funny thing is it can play music but you just have to guess where the buttons are on the touch screen (so still pretty useless). When I was putting it back together I turned it on before I had screwed in the cover and put on the screen, would this have been the cause do you think? Any other advice?

[@Simos805]

Felix Powling No this isn't the problem. The problem is I think you maybe broke some small corner of the LCD, or maybe the LCD connector has a problem (in the logic board or the cable on the LCD). Check it.

[@pulseperson3882]

Ah yes, you're right. I think the upper right corner of the screen is broken. Is there anything at all I can do to fix this? Regardless, thank you so much for the great video and your reply - I'm glad I know what I did wrong.

[@Simos805]

Felix Powling Ohh I'm sorry... because if anything on the LCD get broken, there's no way to fix it.. the only way to get your iPod working again is to buy a new screen and connect it carefully! If you decide to buy a new screen, keep in mind to find a good quality screen (to be like the original one) and if you can find one to be new (not used)!

[@viveknetavate2084]

Nice video👍👌 Sir mere pass bhi same ipod hai, kya aap repair kar sakte ho??

[@sarahjackson5027]

So, I read/watched some of the other repair videos and I'm wondering A: why double-sided tape and not superglue - won't the tape wear out eventually and you're back to square one? and B: what kind of rubber did you use? Thanks!

[@Simos805]

A. If you use superglue, 1) you will never be able to teardown again the iPod and 2) it may be damage the display. So the best way outside is to use a specific glue for this use but I'm not sure what's the name of it and where I can get one. So I used a double tape. Until now I haven't a problem, this tape is strong enough I think. B. You mean the rubber I put in the button to make it work?

[@sarahjackson5027]

I actually meant the superglue for attaching the piece of rubber to the button, and yes, what kind of rubber did you use for that? I did find a double-sided adhesive strip on Amazon that is specifically for re-attaching the screen to the metal frame for the gen 6 nano.

[@Simos805]

+Sarah Jackson You don't need a very strong glue for this, because the piece of rubber it wedges to the button so It can't get off it. I cut a pice of the black rubber that is attached to the button. If you find a specific double tape for this iPod it's better, but the double tape I used I think it is doing the same job.

[@sarahjackson5027]

Okay, thank you!

nice vid. not a whole lot of people uploading videos on this ipod. btw I was able to source the small watch bezel on alli xpres for like 8$, and i bought on ebazy a watch called "DKNY model NY-3718" which i think originally was a 3-400$ watch but has the correct band size to match the watch lunatik bezels. got it for 20$ used. the quality and close up of this video has got me thinking I might be able to replace the 30pin with a usb-C port, and maybe get one of those small form factor Nintendo switch bluetooth adaptors to fit over the top or side. very underratted ipod that doesnt come with all the privacy invading features of modern smart watches. apparently ipods can play back better audio quality, both with how the audio is encoded and the aux cable. I wish someone would release a hacked/jailbroken firmware for it to modify it more... maybe with the internal accelerometer/gyro someone could hack it to turn the screen on when held up. im not smart enough to figure this out...

Almost all nano's suffer this problem and Apple will give you a refurbished one for a hundred bucks that will break also. They should recall this product. I talked to the genius at the apple store and he had a memorized speech about this problem. I don't think he was genius, I think his bulb was as dim as my broken nano.

[@GeneralErlend]

You can't blame the guy in the store for the faulty product. He didn't produce it, he only works at the store. Should they give you a refurbished one? No. They should recommend another product with a longer lifespan. However, he can't go against company policy and say that they generally suck for example. He would get fired.

[@Simos805]

I don't know if it is the same problem, but my iPod's button had stock as you describe.. So, try the teardown and check if the black dot inside was missing (so this means that you have the same problem) or if the button was moved inside.

LOL ok. no wonder i cant do shit man, tried using my eraser but it got squashed

[@Simos805]

+Tee JaY Try a small piece of paper and tape it with a small piece of double tape like me on the video

[@jillyc3777]

Do you do repairs? Paid. There's no way I'm gonna be able to do all this and get it all back together. It's the power button.

[@Simos805]

I’m doing paid repairs only here in Greece I’m living.

[@legodood7tatertot751]

Dang I almost had it!!! but I accidentally ripped the ribbon cable that connected the volume and power button 😂😂

[@Simos805]

Wow I’m sorry for you man 😕 maybe you can order a replacement buttons ribbon cable from eBay!

[@legodood7tatertot751]

@@Simos805 yeah I'm going to get a replacement because I saw another video how to do it and it's very easy ☺️

[@vineetsehrawat9]

can u please do this for me? i will post u my ipod. im from india bro...n im not an expert.:P

[@Simos805]

+Vineet Sahrawat Hmm I don't know.. I never done a transfer before :/

[@AnthonyJacquier]

Dude, my screen is unresponsive now, my buttons work fine, but my screen doesnt respond to touchscreen .. :/

[@Simos805]

Maybe you haven't connected correctly the connectors inside the iPod, check at 12:55 at the video.

[@AnthonyJacquier]

+Simos805 Thanks for the reply man, but Ive done it 3 times and it fits perfectly like a glove! I even hear the "click" my buttons are perfect now haha but my screen isnt touchscreen at all ill try doing it again one more time

[@Simos805]

+Anthony Jacquier Maybe you damaged the connector's stripes.. Check it, and check the point the stripes connect to the screen.

[@AnthonyJacquier]

+Simos805 Yeah I think I did, I tried to tape the black and yellow stripes together so they would stick and im getting a white screen now... should I tape them back together or glue ? (I subbed btw, great tutorial)

[@Simos805]

+Anthony Jacquier Thanks! You don't need to tape the stripes together. You need to find a point as moving the stripes with the screen opened, that the screen working, and then try to close the iPod with the stripes stay at this point.

[@hamizah3593]

i did pretty well until the 3rd screw. it was so damn hard to get it off ;____;

[@Simos805]

+Jalja 0112 So you didn't got it off?

[@streetrage]

STEP 1. Use a heat gun.

[@Simos805]

+streetrage Sorry man, I didn't have one.

[@wikernes]

And... i finally broke my iPod at all. Still was interesting.

[@Simos805]

Oh I’m sorry for you... 😕

[@Tombrosapien]

I tried and failed 🙃
