Click Wheel works for restart, but not single button.
I have an 8 gig here, trying to repair it for a friend-the initial problem was the click wheel was unresponsive for everything except restarting. no diag screen, (center+left) no disk mode (center+play/pause) no single button use. I ordered a replacement click wheel guts, replaced it, and it did not work at all. could this be a click wheel problem, and ordering a new one would fix it? or should I try to get a new board?
I've gleaned that these nanos have click wheel problems a lot.
Is this a good question?

I am a very mechanical person, and have worked on small electronics my entire life. I must say, the ipod 4th gen is a total PITA with regards to assembly, disassembly. I have trashed THREE of the #^$& click wheel films just trying to get the &$^* thing apart/back together. I'll stick with repairing the traditional removeable back styles and leave the 4th/5th generation to the insane.
