After replacing new audio jack, iPod is unresponsive.

I know that this could be a number of issues but maybe someone out there has had the same situation.

Here is what I did:

1) I used a small flat head screw driver to separate the screen and components from the back plate.

2)I then blew off some dust that was in there.

3) I used the screw driver to separate the battery.

4) I pulled the metal cover off the logic board.

5) I took out the screws that held down the logic board and disconnected the black strip connected to the logic board.

6) I peeled back the logic board with out removing the board from the top of the ipod. I flipped the headphone jack over and removed it using a soldering iron.

7) I installed my new headphone jack with a soldering iron.

8) I resembled in reverse order.

Maybe I am sloppy, but I felt like i did a pretty good job.

the symptoms of the ipod are as follows:

1) When I hold the top button nothing happens

2) when I plug in the ipod to a computer via usb it makes the "connection sound" and the computer is able to read the ipod and sync as if it is on.

3) I thought that maybe the ipod is on but with no display so I tried to swipe when the unlock slide normally is but got nothing.

I think that the ipods display screen and touch screen are disabled.

if anyone has any input I would really appreciate it.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

That is pretty odd, just wondering, was the battery low when you was working on it? It also could be possible you shorted something out and the ipod had to reboot to "see" the screen again. This is true for Nanos 4th gen if they are left on while swapping screens, they still function fine but no display.

For the WiFi issue, i'll stay the obvious, probably a bad connection or forgot to hook up again.

Good luck!
