Offtopic - iPod 6g HDD ZIF connector replacement
(1/1)
rockbox_dev123:
There's no good place to post this on the forum so I'm trying here.
I have an iPod 6g where the brown ZIF latch is damaged (missing) on the motherboard. Does anyone know the part name/number to replace it?
Desoldering the latch and fitting a new one with flux and hot air is probably slightly outside of my skill ability however if I could ID the replacement part I might be able to get some quotes from an electronics shop before trying it myself.
Added a picture.

The best images I can find online are here:

Both appear to be Hirose branded but the part numbers differ (7F?5 and 1635?) and I can't make them out.
EDIT:
I found the part number on Reddit here and its a FH26W-35S-0.3SHW(60). When I last searched for this years ago I couldn't find the part number but this Reddit post was in the last month!
Hopefully this can help someone else.

There is an Ebay seller called "portlander" who I have used to repair an iPod logic board. See this listing:
