Hard Drive Ribbon Connection
A Redbull froze in my car, exploded, and managed to get into my iPod classic.
I disassembled it and am going to clean it thoroughly, but when I went to pull the ribbon from the hard drive there was some resistance.
Upon closer inspection, the dried, sticky syrup from the Redbull seemed to have gotten into the hard drive connection where the ribbon goes in.
Would I be able to clean the connector on the hard drive with rubbing alcohol and compressed air, or would this damage the hard drive/connector? Not really looking to buy a new hard drive if I don't have to.
Thanks in advance!
Is this a good question?
