@aisah - you can click on the Parts By Serial link at the top of our page, put in your serial, and look at the Parts list to find all the parts compatible with your model.

@aisah - yes you can repair it yourself. you may want to get it professionally diagnosed to be sure it is the logic board, but if you are wanting to do it yourself that's what I would replace first.

if logic board issue,can it repair and replace with new logic board? buy 1 from here n do it myself, possible work back? fyi, ive keep this ipod of mine for a year already? do you think it will work if i replace with the new logic board?
Powerbook Medic

@aisah - you can try to sync it up to iTunes and see if it is detected and restore it. If it doesn't detect it, it is most likely a logic board issue.

@Pablo - if a new screen didn't fix it, it has to be either a software issue (do a factory reset) or the logic board.

@Ben - it is most likely a dead battery. If you have those files set to backup to icloud, they should be accessible from your computer. Otherwise, you may need to replace the battery which does require some soldering.

my iPod suddenly stopped working an now won't turn on , when I try to charge it just shows the low battery symbol. Is there anyway of fixing this or retrieving my data and notes off it etc.

My 4th Gen 64GB iPod touch got launched across a truck in an IED blast my last deployment, and destroyed the screen, but it still turns on. When I pulled the screen, LCD, and digitizer, and the spring that goes behind the screen plate stretched and popped out. Do you know where I can get another one so i can fix my iPod?

@Heather - I would make sure the physical button is properly aligned with the button contact on the cable. It may just need to be realigned to get it to work again. Other than that, I would check for any tears on that part of the cable.
Heather

I notice that the power button and the volume buttons share a cable on this model. What is the best way to troubleshoot an issue if only the power button is not working, but the volume button is fine? Would you still need to replace the entire cable?

@Alan - the dock connector is soldered onto the logic board, so we keep it attached. If that is the issue, you will have the decision to make if it is worth repairing.
Alan II

If it does end up being the dock connector, does that mean I would have to replace the entire logic board, flash storage and all? Its a 32GB, so I'm wondering when I should just count my losses...
Powerbook Medic

@Alan - it's not guaranteed to be the battery, but that is the most likely culprit on this model with that issue. If you don't feel comfortable, you can send the iPod to us, and we'll figure out which is the issue and fix it for you.
Alan II

I have almost the exact same problem as the Alan above. However, my newly replaced screen, when plugged in the screen shows the empty battery symbol with an icon suggesting plugging in the iPod. I want to make sure its not an issue with the dock connector before I replace the battery. Any suggestions?

@BILL - if the physical button is getting stuck that is usually due to the casing being dented or the volume power flex cable not being routed properly inside.
Powerbook Medic

@amanda - it depends which cable you are referring to. If its the cable that goes to the LCD, you'll need to replace the LCD. You can request a repair quote and our techs will get back to you on what may need to be replaced and the cost.

I put the ipod touch 4 back together and the on/off button worked fine for a couple of days now it seems to be stuck in the in position. I have torn it apart but don't quite see how it's supposed to move in and out. Is there a spring that pushes it back out. Please help. I see you have a lot of parts that we can use. We just started repairing these for customers and there seems to be a lot of interest out there. We just recently replaced this cable. All else works on it.

Hi I replaced the screen, and re-assembled. The ipod shows the red battery icon with the lightening bolt. I have tried resetting it by pushing the top button and home, but the apple logo never appears. Itunes and the PC dont see the ipod. If i remove the charger cable its dead, looks like it's not charging. Tried a different cable and 2 different mains chargers. Do you think the battery is duff?

usually this occures when the ipod is turned on during the repair. Usually it just needs a hard reset. but it actually has to boot twice. hold the ipods power button and and home button for about 30 sec to see if it works. if not plug it in for 10 min and try again while its plugged in. ill log on tomorrow so check for update

@Wes - the screen doesn't look cracked to me. For reassembly instructions we are starting to add those to our manuals, so we'll slowly replace our take-apart guides with full manuals. As far as the copper thing, you are referring to, I don't see that torn in the video either.
Wes
8 months ago
This is great except for 2 problems: 1) If your screen is cracked...it's not this easy. 2)Putting it all back together isn't explained. 3)There is a copper ribbon/tape on the upper right corner (at least in my 4th gen) of the metal plate inside that gets torn when you use this procedure.

My power button was not working a while ago. I got the volume cable thing and replaced it, but now my screen won't react to touch, only the home button. The other buttons won't work either. What did I do? It still charges and everything. And does it matter when putting everything back which screws go where?

@Aaron - I'm not sure what you mean by bezel exactly. There is the trim that is part of the back case, and then there is the digitizer touch panel. If it is the trim inside the back case, we've never tried replacing just that.
Aaron

I apologize for posting a link I shoudlnt have because it told me not to, I have found just a bezel for the ipod touch 4th gen for sale on eBay. is it at all possible to re-install a bezel into the ipod since Ive already put $112 into it and would be way more money than its worth to purchase a brand new backcase for around $50

Powerbook Medic

@Aaron - i'm not really sure what you mean. The bezel is part of the LCD and digitizer assembly.
Aaron

Would it be a bad idea to install a bezel into original backplate? how would I accomplish such a task?
Powerbook Medic
9 months ago
@Aaron - The bezel is built into the backcase. It would require you to replace the backcase to replace it. The bezel on the 4th Gen iPod touch is pretty important, keeping dust and debris from getting inside the ipod.
Aaron

Thank you very much for the tear down. I have an iPod with a bezel that has sunk in on the iPod. I don't know if it was from using the heat gun, following ifixit's guide or what, but my bezel is now affecting the way the screen sits in iPod. How do I take out the bezel after the on/off cable is dislodged?

@Rohan - If the copper taping tears, it is not a big concern. It is used to hold the rear camera mounting bracket in place. However, the camera mount snaps in place as well, so there is no real issue with not putting the copper tape back in place if you cannot.
Rohan

On the underside of the metal plate (near the rear camera) there is a square of copper that connects to the camera body. On all the videos I have seen it appears to either not there or is just ripped appart. What do I do at this point. Can you please help Cheers

@insub - by splice Im meaning to take the two broken ends of the wire and then solder them together. We unfortunately do not have a video on how to remove the sleep/volume flex cable.
insub

Ok thanks. So do you have a video that shows the complete removal of the sleep/volume ribbon and how to put a new one back on? Also what do you mean by splice? Thanks.
Powerbook Medic
11 months ago
@insub - the blue wire is actually one of the speaker wires. You can try and splice the wire, which typically works just fine. The replacement of the sleep/volume flex cable is pretty complex. It involves desoldering the 4 points from the main logic board and removing the cable from the backcase and putting the new cable in its place and soldering it back onto the main board.
insub
10 months ago
ok thanks. i also noticed that after removing the silver shield the small thin blue wire that looks like it is plugged into the home button next to a red wire came out of its socket. what is that and do i need to replace that as well? the video doesnt complete how to remote the sound/power ribbon and to put the new one in. Thanks.

@insub - you'll need to replace the cable. we sell it in the part list to the right. as far as the LCD issue.. I would double check the LCD cable first.

if i accidently rip the volume ribbon, how can i get that fixed? And does that also control the on/off? if so how do i power on and off the device? most importantly how do i get the ribbon fixed? right now my screen has the white screen of death after replacing the screen but maybe i dont have the LCD ribbon in place correctly. Thanks.

@Kyle - if the buttons themselves seem fine, it is probably the logic board as its two separate cables for each button. I'd probably open it up or get it professionally diagnosed at this point.
Kyle

Its hard to tell if my sleep/wake button is stuck, or whatever "pops" it back out is malfunctioning. I can feel it moving so it doesn't necessarily seems stuck. Is this an issue with the cable or the logic board? Thanks

Follow-up not sure if this is my stupidity or just overlooked in tutorials or just coincidence... I hooked it iPod Touch up again and still nothing, then I plugged it in to the Mac and it showed the crash screen, then after a few seconds it came on like normal - apparently hooking it up to the computer got it to kick in... Is that common or just a fluke?
Adam

I had a headphone plug broke off in the jack. I successfully removed it and re-secured everything but the front LCD won't power up. I checked and re-checked the front LCD cable connection and I'm quite certain it is secure. Any thoughts on what to try next to get it to power up. The only plugs that were unplugged were the LCD and headphone plugs - both of which are reconnected. Thanks in advance!
Powerbook Medic

@Dan - you only need to take it apart to the point you can remove the LCD.

@Robert - that cable shouldn't affect the LCD. I'd reseat the LCD cable to make sure its getting full contact.

@Jenna - the tech disconnects the final cable to the front assembly at the 3:30 mark. That's how far you'd need to go to replace it.
Jenna
11 months ago
Yes, I have the glass screen with the lcd and digitizer on it, if I understand what that is corretly. At the veryy end of your video, it cuts off before showing how to disconnect where the actual volume buttons are and I believe that is what I need to do before I can replace the bezel.The green logic board and battery are still connected at the volume buttons, which your video does not show how to disconnect.

Wondering what parts to purchse to do the repair. The home button will not turn the ipod on. Digitized glass is badly cracked. When connected to itunes it reports the ipod needs to be restored but many attempts to do this fail. The screen will show an apple, but nothinge else. The error code suggests a hardware problem.

The metal bar underneath the power button is broken. This was noticed while replacing the screen, I accidentally tore the volume/power cable.

I now see “Tools” Tab over to the right that I should have clicked. I no longer need to open the iPod. I offer the following for others with an iPod that appears to be “dead”. I thought the battery in my wife’s iPod had gone bad because the iPod suddenly stopped working and wouldn’t re-start. But we discovered that we could force a re-boot by holding down the top Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the bottom-center of the iPod simultaneously (for more than 20 seconds). That solved the problem. Thanks for the quick reply and your fantastic step-by-step video on how to “dissect” an iPod 4 for repair!

I really like your videos, but have the same questions as GUTY and TRICIA(3 an 2 months ago). Is there a special way to solder the power/volume cable to the logic board. The video ends with how to take it off, but doesn't mention how to reinstall. I've done soldering before, but there's not usually delicate ribbon and thin cables associated with it.

This looks very complicated. I just have a cracked front glass on my 64GB Ipod Touch 4G. Is the replacement of this part as complicated for the 4G as it looks?

@mercedes - it is probably an issue with the camera or the cable has come detached or loose. But you may want to try restoring the phone first to rule out a software issue.

@John - I'm not sure if this was already a dead iPod or not, but we do repairs on these almost daily. It's not too bad reconnecting the cables.

@Kelly - the original adhesive should be fine. Sometimes you do need to trim it a little so it'll fit back correctly.

What type of cement do you use to replace the screen?
