Hey guys I need some help fixing a 16gb iPod Touch 2G. I bought it broken from a friend who had let his friend borrow it. I figured I’d be able to fix it. When I received it, it wouldn’t turn on at all. I plugged it into the computer and did a hard restart, and it turned on to a white screen with vertical lines flashing randomly. The computer recongnized it and everything that was on the ipod appeared on itunes. I then used itunes to reset the ipod to factory settings. The reset worked perfectly in itunes but, the ipod touch was never able to boot up. I’ve put the ipod into dfu mode and used Quickfreedom to jailbreak the ipod just to see what would happen. The jailbreak worked, but once again, the ipod was unable to boot up. Help would be greatly appreciated. Here are some more details:
• 16gb ipod touch 2nd Generation
• Some dings and multiple scratch on back
• I’m able to slightly push down the bottom of the screen
• No apparent water damage (sensor in headphone jack is white)
• When I move a magnet over the home button, the white screen w/ lines reappears.
• Won’t fully boot up (stuck on boot screen)
• Very faint white dots on the bottom of the screen
• Gets the bottom of the ipod heats up significantly more than the upper half.
• THE COMPUTER RECOGNISES THE IPOD (Computer treats the ipod like a perfectly working ipod).
• While restoring the ipod through itunes, the ipod makes a very high pitch noise, only able to be heard when put up to ear.
If you need any further information about the ipod, or have any suggestions, email me at kribsrobby@yahoo.com.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this.
