iPod data pins sticking out. How to fix if fixable at all?
Noticed that my Ipod wasn't getting recgonized by Itunes, let alone any PC at all.
Wouldn't make a 'USB inserted' sound nor show up anywhere in the device manager.
I opened it up and to my surprise found 2 pins sticking out.
I tried pushing them back into the frame with my thumb and reconnected the hard drive and battery to do a USB test into my computer again.
PC actually made a USB sound and an Apple device showed in the Device Manager.
However Itunes still doesn't recognize it and there is no actual lettered Drive listed in the file explorer.
I looked at my open Ipod again and realized that whenever I push the cable in, one of the pins (specifically the right one) gets pushed right back out again.
I attached some pictures, including some before I pushed the pins back in and after.
Is this fixable or a lost cause and I should just replace the charging port altogether?
Is this a good question?
