Hello, I have my friends iPod. He said the home button was stuck down and it would show the Apple logo when connected to iTunes. I fixed the home button easily, the plastic piece just broke. But, I charged it, and tried to tun it on. The only response was a black screen that lit up. I’ve done hard reset, rebooting, etc. but it won’t work. Still just stuck on black screen with backlights. halp plz
Hey @gigabit87898. Have you tried DFU Mode? If you have tried all the software tricks for a device stuck on the startup logo, this could be related hardware or a bad Tristar. Sometimes we get thrown off by coincidental damage (the button) and it takes a while to realize the problem lay elsewhere. I would try new battery, charge port, display (if you have one) after all the software tricks. If nothing, then it is probably a board problem. I have never seen an iPod schematic so I don’t know if they exist. It is A5 based so probably similar to the iPhone 4S in concept at least.
