Q: iPod classic 160gb 6th gen a1238 reboot loop.
hi guys
i have a few iPod classic 6th gen iPods iv been trying to fix up and this one is really not making sense. i know the hard drives iv tried in it are all in working order so its not them.
the problem = once battery is connected the iPod powers up with apple logo for either 2 or 6 secs then shows sad face icon for 10 secs then powers down. only to power up when i press any button again or when i plug it in. when plugged in nothing comes up on the computer (mac pro). reboot i think works but if i try to put it into disk mode or any other mode it just ignores me and dose the same 10 sec cycle or sad face icon and apple support web address.
inside of iPod is pristine i.e no water damage or corrosion and free of dust.
any help would be awesome!
I'm thinking it must be a faulty logic board?
thanks
iPod classic
