Ipod weirdness? (Freezing)

Post by Metroid fan » Thu Sep 13, 2007 9:41 pm

Ok I got two broken ipods from two of my friends and I fused them together and made a slightly working iPod (It works fine a lot of the time). But when I go to play a song when another one is playing it freezes for between 2 to 8 minutes. I've listened and it seems like the ipods harddrive just stops working but then later it turns back on. And more rarely it freezes when it is playing a song but that usually starts back up after less than a minute. Anyone have ideas? (I have been troubleshooting for 2 weeks now with no really noticeable differences in it's behavior).

It's either the hard drive or the motherboard. Is the other board OK? try reseating the hard drive, or using the other board.

If you don't have anything productive to contribute to the thread, don't post in it.

(Besides, Zunes aren't perfect either, ya know. :P)
