How do I make sure hold switch is synced to logic board?

Hi there,

I have a 3rd generation iPod. While replacing the battery, I accidentally tore the ribbon connecting the headphone jack to the logic board. So I ordered a replacement headphone jack. I did the replacement, and at the bottom of the instructions, you wrote this: When reassembling your iPod, be sure that the plastic hold switch mechanism is synced with the hold switch on the logic board. The switch on the board is a small black nub that sits in the slot on the hold switch mechanism.

I can't figure out what you mean by making sure the plastic hold switch mechanism is synced with the hold switch on the logic board. I put the hold switch in the "locked" position, plugged in the ipod to turn it on, and it is still stuck in lock no matter what. How to I make sure it's synced?

Thanks!

Jess

There’s a little black switch at the top of the logic board. Make sure that the hold switch on the outside of the iPod is in the same position as the little black switch inside.
