@Azael - it is most likely the headphone board. We sell it in the parts list to the right. Worst case scenario is the logic board.

Video did not mention spring and small rod that fell out when I removed the wheel. It also failed to caution on the small white plastic "logic board" clip that also fell out and where to replace it.

97 comments and no mention of the copious amounts of glue or tape holding things together and keeping them from moving?? The one we just took apart had so much that couldn't be gotten to that it was impossible to do without damaging things. :-/

@Prohackerlisbon - if the switch itself operates fine, it is most likely the logic board itself.

@Michael - it is either the battery or the logic board.

My Nano G5 suddenly quit charging? Is it the battery? I had just used it all day a few days earlier. I plug it into the charger. The hold button is off, and the click button does nothing. There is not even a back light.

@Powerbook i can record video & play back: without though. That's another thing i've noticed. I can only record using my nokia jack plug ear/mic phone. I think that's d only way i can get audio on recorded videos . Secondly, i've tried so hard 2 get my songs outta dat ipod & into my pc, 4 BACKUP sake, since d guy is acting sick (i mean my ipod). Anyway i use windows 7 basic. I guess vista should help me wit that, but i can't downgrade...My pc won't let me. I just can't process all these anymore... That's y i'm placing it on d "pro's-table" thanks Powerbook M.

the cable i have came apart and the colour wires that were soldered came off. I tried reattaching and i ended up mixing the wires. When i connect to the computer itunes does not pop up at all, i can only recharge the ipod and thats it. What do i have to replace to get it working properly. Thanks

@dranreb - I'm not sure what issue you were having. You may want to request a repair quote from the Send-in Mac Repair link at the top and one of our techs will respond to you.

i've got this second hand nano 5g i-pod. but i washed it about 10 days ago, it works perfectly fine but only the battery wont charge anymore, it will show me it is charged after leaving it plugged in for a long time but as soon as i disconnect it it will show me it is out of battery. i think it has something to do with water in the battery or logic board, would it be worth a shot trying to take it apart and see what is wrong with the battery? i know i can trust myself doing this or at least my father, thanks.

I just bought an ipod model #a1320 (looks just like the one your working on above and it's a 16) at a pawn shop but he did not get the owners manual with it, would you be kind enough to guide me in the right direction to get one? Thank you very much!!! Dottie / Rhode Island

@Candice - that is typically the battery itself. Unfortunately with these, the battery is soldered onto the logic board.. so you'll need to solder a new one or replace the whole logic board with battery.

@Steve - most likely the clickwheel just needs to be reseated. It may be off of alignment so its not pushing the button smoothly.

@Damita - i would try restoring it in itunes just to rule out a software issue. After that it is probably an issue with the clickwheel

When I press the play button on my ipod, nothing happens. If I press play again, it resets. Any idea what causes that? The click wheel turns fine, it's just the center button that doesn't seem to work.

@Nick - if recovery mode doesn't work, the only other thing i've seen work before replacing hardware is letting the battery drain completely and see if that resets it. otherwise, you'll probably need a new battery or logic board.

Nice video! The device in the video is obviously a demonstration piece because there are scratch marks from previous disassembly. It seemed that the instructor became impatient at the 6:00 mark because things were falling out and he was being rough on the ribbon cables LOL! Great vid tho :)

@jason - if its syncing to itunes, it may just be a software issue and you need to reset it to factory defaults, but most likely its a problem with your dock connector.

@tenzing - have you tried rebooting it by holding up and select? if it is still saying that and it is not connected, you most likely have a logic board problem which won't really be repairable feasibly.

@Reggie - I would try another pair of headphones first, but most likely something is either blocking the connection inside the jack or the jack is dead.

@ray - if nothing ever comes on the screen, it is probably the logic board. if you get a low battery warning, you may just need a new battery.
