My iPod 5th generation video appears to be working fine, although it is a little beat up. you can scroll thru the menus and select songs however they do not play. when clicking a song you will hear a slight fuzzy noise and thats it.
I was planning to change the front and back panel, maybe even the battery just for the !&&* of it, but what should i change to fix the sound issue?
Is this a good question?

Mike, start off by running a diagnostics. Check on here about how to do that and what the results mean. After that you may have to take a look at the hard drive, as well as try a restore. If it is a sound issue only, meaning that the music progresses but you do not hear anything, then you are having issues with the audio IC, which is common for this model. This "fuzzy sound seems to "click" in a specific rhythm" makes me think is more of a HDD issue.

Ran a few tests and heres what I found that was weird. first off Assecorize test I got LCD ID : 1 and FWPWR : 0 while plugged in to a wall charger and a computer.
within the hard drive menu I only had HDSpec and HDSmart data, HDSmart data gave me Retracts:78 poweronhours:538 Reallocs:4 Pending Sectors:0 and Start/stops:13136
Checksum: 0x665c
RTC Diff=53, OK

Also just opened it up to poke around a little bit... it appears to not turn on anymore unless plugged in? May have messsed something up but it works fine plugged in so im not sure...

More Information: the fuzzy sound seems to "click" in a specific rhythm.
The ticker that clicks when you scroll thru the menus sounds fine.
