I fall asleep listening to it a lot, so it's a big problem, especially on holiday when I can't resync...

Update

Okay, none of these answers are helping me at all. I've been experiencing the same problem with my Ipod. It's the one with the camera in the back. When I plug in earphones, the sound plays through both the speakers and the earphones. When I turn the volume all the way down to zero, the music still comes out the earphones at full blast and not the speakers; but when I turn up the volume, the music plays out the earphones and the speakers. I've already tried the whole rebooting thing with holding down the menu and the center button and I've also tried unplugging and replugging in the earphones, it doesn't help me what so ever. I've also tried several different pairs of headphones. I'm not getting any help. What I want to ask is, 1.) Is there anyway of turning the internal speakers off? 2.) How can I fix the earphone jack besides taking it apart? 3.)Is there anyway of turning down the earphones volume with this this problem? I would really like some answer's. Thank you. -Harleigh 09/27/10

Also when I removed the display,battery & board there was a small piece of plastic that came from somewhere. Where does that go in reassembly.

Thanks for your help.

My iPod has been, kind of soaked in water :(. But it still works.

The only thing is that i cannot see anything on my screen. It is working, it can play the songs but- when I try and adjust the brightness, it doesnt work. I cannot see much on my iPod.

Also when I try and connect my iPod to my PC it says to uninstall and reinstall my iTunes.

Thanks alot!

Situation

- washed iPod (extra rinse => at least it was clean of soap)

- did NOT attempt to turn it on

- dried using salt in a bag for 3 days

- flickered to life on charging

- functioned (minus g-sensor) for 2 days

- froze unresponsive until dead

- recharged, functioned for 2 hours, froze unresponsive

- no longer detectable by iTunes, and remains without vital signs - I fear the worst

Tried:

- forced detection by iTunes

- toggling all buttons

- reset

- jiggling cable (futile)

Question:

Can my iPod be saved? If so, what can I do? I'm willing to take it apart as a last resort to try to clean it or check for corrosion damage, but I would prefer someone more experience do this (I saw how tricky the breakdown was for an experienced tech).

The long:

I'm one of the lucky ones who washed their 5G nano, but I did take a few steps to try to salvage it. Note that the iPod was not on when it was immersed in water, or did I turn it on after I found it direlect on the bottom of my washing machine. I put the unit in a sealed bag with (don't judge me) dry oatmeal mix and a beef seasoning (not for flavour - the seasoning has a salt base) since I didn't have uncooked rice, dessicant packs, or even pure salt. I pinned it on my corkboard and had a 40W lamp on it for 3 days to add some low heat. After doing this, I tried turning it on, and it was lifeless (since I'm sure the battery shorted in the water). I plugged it into the computer, and nothing happened. After about 5 minutes of searching how to beat the iPod warranty system for water damage, I noticed the screen flicker and suddenly iTunes found the device. After charging and synching, the iPod was completely functional with the exception of the gravity sensor. It remained this way for two days, and then suddenly it froze during an app, screen on, and wouldn't respond (I did not try a reset) until after it died and was recharged by the computer. I again tested functionality, and it did the same thing but only lasted for about two hours this time before freezing screen-off and seemingly on hold. Now it isn't picked up by iTunes, nor can I reset the unit directly. Further fruitless things I've tried: button mashing, increased button pressure, toggling the hold switch, resetting, forced detection by iTunes (failed to detect), and even jiggling the synch cable in the iPod's slot thinking it might somehow help.

As a final note: By helping me save this iPod, you are indirectly saving my life. This was a christmas gift from my girlfriend and I've killed it by mid-February. She might kill me by mid-march. Kidding, but help is appreciated! :)

I watched the video and the procedure is way over my head. I am limited to changing batteries in my flashlight! LOL.

Can someone help?

Resets doesn't work (as no clicks at all).

Q1) Do 4th and 5th have compatible click wheels? Can I try to replace?

Q2) Any 'tricks' I should try before attempting to replace? (heard about a 'credit card' trick?

Thanks

• Is this part replaceable?
• Where would I locate someone to do this?
• or is it easy enough to figure out with the correct tools?

My son's 1st day of school is on my it so I don't want to just replace it (which was the apple store's suggestion)

I bought a broken nano 5th gen 16gb, had a lot of water damage, I cleaned all the corrosion, washed it, changed the battery and it came back to life, everything works fine except the sound quality is bad and when I adjust volume it does nothing. It shows the bar and clicking, but the actual volume stays the same. It is not the jack, I tried few.

Can someone who knows his way around this motherboard point me in some direction? Something to clean again or reheat? Some faulty potentiometer perhaps? Thanks in advance
