Ipod won't go past Apple screen and reboots in disk mode after changing battery

<< < (6/6)

torne:
I've never taken mine apart, so I'm afraid I don't know.

kvnknrd:
what kind of "connector" did you buy?

this is the strangest thing. If I literally just clip open one side of the ipod (the right side, when looking at it face on) the ipod will power up fine and boot into both OS's. but I when i close the ipod it stops working. It's so baffling and stupid that I have to laugh at all the problems this little thing has given me. What Gives and what is on the right side of the ipod that is giving me this problem???

I bought this connector http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120462123701&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_2476wt_941 your ipod would use a different connector as it has a ZIF drive. I watched the video, that is indeed a weird problem. I don't know what the 5th den ipod looks like inside so I don't know what could be causing it, there must be something on the right side which is putting too much pressure on another component causing it not to work properly... This requires some thorough investigation.
