iPod Shuffle 2nd Generation: Is it possible to waterproof iPod like 'swimman' do?

Sun, 18 Nov 2012 13:53:24 -0700

Swimman waterproof Apple iPods from the inside. Have you done a teardown on one of their products to see if it's possible to replicate at home? I'm guessing they simply smother the internal components in silicone and replace the cover.

iPod Shuffle 2nd Generation: Battery voltage circuit check, whats the circuit on the battery side?

Tue, 26 Oct 2010 23:39:28 -0700

I have an iPod Shuffle 2G torn down to the open circuit and am checking voltages before spending the money replacing the battery. I want to make sure it isn't something else wrong with the Shuffle.

Between the battery and the main logic circuit board, there is an intermediary circuit (part of the battery assembly). I get a reading off of the battery directly before this board, but not when reading off of the other side of it (on the logic circuit board side). What is this intermediary board for? And why is it not passing voltage through?

Part numbers:

Left black chip on intermediary board:
M 6093 W7L1
Right black chip on intermediary board:
8410100 B01-0

I read the other post answers but cannot find the part I need. The part listed on the link given in the other answer says it is for a 2G/3G. http://www.digiexpress.us/Headphone-Jack...

But it doesn't look like the right part for my 2nd Gen, 1GB shuffle. Please advise me. Is it really the right part? Or is there another place to get the part? You can email an answer directly if that is preferable.

iPod Shuffle 2nd Generation: Player was stolen and now won't play music

Tue, 27 Apr 2010 08:56:48 -0700

My son's iPod was stolen from his bedroom by a neighborhood kid. When it finally got returned he said it had dirt all over it. When I went to reload his music on it, I could not see any files on it, yet when you went to use the device it played music from whatever the other kid had loaded onto it, so I reformatted it because I couldn't find any other way to delete those music files. My son said the power light kept flashing...when you turn it on the green light goes on then off after a few seconds, but when you hit the play buttons it will flash between green and amber a few times and it will NOT play any music now (even though I of course loaded music back onto it). I can see the files I loaded if I reconnect it to the computer, and they play from the device while connected. Device is fully charged, and it says there are no errors on it, and that its running properly, etc. I checked everything I could on it...what is wrong with it/is there any hope for it?
