Hello everyone, My 4th gen ipod nano works fine, until I hit menu button. Then it enters on a reboot loop and after a while, it either starts working fine, or it asks to restore. Sometimes I have to restore more than once until it starts working again. I have no guaranty. I’ve tried 5 R’s. I’ve restored it on both mac and pc. I’ve done hard formats. Since it works some of the times, do you think it could be a cable that is not well connected, or some other easy fix ? Thanks in advance.
I know that this particular model of Nano has issues with corrosion on the logic board. May be some of the corrosion is causing the behavior that you are describing. You could disassemble it by using the guide from here. Check for corrosion on the board as well as all the cables and connectors. Clean the board with isopropyl alcohol and change the battery while you are at it since it must be almost at the end of its lifespan. Reassemble, restore and see what you got. Good Luck
Thanks for the answer. I have already dissembled it, and it worked fine for a while. I think it maybe has to do with the cables..
Is it water damaged?
can someone help me with this problem without disassembling the ipod
