Answer to: Gen 3 firewire iPod not recognized anymore?
You might have to reformat I have problems with older ipods to the newer machines. The MBP are "Mactels" CISC Little endian the ipods use ARM processors that are RISC Big Endian (Which are better because it is the way we humans think and recall information). Older format is unreadable on the newer machines. Besides Apple like you to spend money every six months for a new machine and ipod and not to hold on to the old.

Installing iPhone 3G Display
Quote from bobroch:
OK I broke the little black 'ribbon lock' off too. (sinking feeling). Then I tried to wiggle ribbon three in to the white connector - - then I realized it goes UNDER the white connector. I was trying to wedge it on top of the white connector, and under the black ribbon lock. I managed to get it under the white connector as securely as I could. Then I had to even-more-carefully put connectors 1 & 2 back on. Voila. Power up - - - almost everything works. Only thing still questionable is hearing phone thru the earpiece - - have to use speakerphone . . .
I have that problem but did not break anything. the cable slide out as the instruction and slide back in need advice asap.
