#Iflash solo crack#

A crack and dents in the plastic cover, along with a corresponding fuzzy blob on the display, were scars left from something impacting the screen. The screen was functional, but it had taken damage. Removing the delicate ribbon cable attaching the existing hard drive Prepping the new storage solution New battery and iFlash Solo installed I purchased a compatible Samsung 128GB U3 Micro SDXC, but in hindsight, I could have gone with an iFlash Dual and installed a 32GB card along with the 128GB to keep the iPod at its original 160GB of storage. This customized device allows a wide variety of SD/SDHC/SDXC cards to replace the stock hard drive. There are a variety of solid state drive replacements available, and I selected the iFlash Solo. So I went online and discovered the useful iFlash product line. While the 160GB 4200RPM ATA-66 spinning drive still worked, one day entropy would ensure its demise. Once the iPod was opened, I was decided to do as much as I could to preserve the unit before sealing it back in its aluminum vault. The painful opening process Opened without lasting damage. After watching several useful videos, I secured the right tools and manhandled my way into the device. When restoring an iPod, the first step is the most difficult: opening the darn thing.

Luckily, a replacement was readily available thanks to iFixIt. ItвЂ™s the battery that wore down with steady use. The aluminum cover held up fairly well despite its dings and dents. This particular iPod clearly endured several drops and scrapes. This final Classic sports a 2.5-inch color LCD display providing 320 x 240 resolution with an LED backlight. Unofficially knows as the 7th generation iPod Classic, this 2nd revision of the 6th version maxed the storage to 160GB and sold from 2009 to 2014. This model is the last of a historic line. It was rare to see her without an ear bud inserted as she enjoyed having her complete music library conveniently tucked in her pocket. For many years she carried it everywhere she went.

It was also the classic iPod that pivoted Apple from a computer company to a consumer electronics behemoth.

While the iMac and iBook indicated change was underway, it was the iPod that made Apple a household name again. My only last thought would be to use the iFlash HDD flex cables instead of the stock ones, so I ordered a few to experiment with and will see if they do anything differently once they arrive.The iPod fueled AppleвЂ™s resurgence. It would be extremely unlikely that I was sent two faulty adapters directly from iFlash on two separate occasions and I donвЂ™t believe anything is wrong with the micro sd cards either as they work perfectly fine with other flash adapters. Still every time I restart it with a re-formatted card it can restore and sync with no issues. I format each card before I put it in the adapter even if itвЂ™s already blank and I make sure the HDD flex cable is seated all the way into the adapter before powering the iPod back on. IвЂ™m now modding another 6th gen and IвЂ™m running into the same exact issues between the two adapters and (now) two micro sd cards. It worked again, perfectly fine, no skipped tracks, even played movies just fine. I then harvested an iFlash->CF adapter from my 4th gen and tried it out on my 6th gen. After trying all combinations of two different brand new iFlash solo adapters and three brand new 128GB SanDisk Ultra MicroDSXC cards I kept getting the same results and was about to throw in the towel and try just dealing with the original hard drive again. I made a post a couple weeks ago about how I was having trouble getting my 6th generation iPod classic to work with an iFlash solo adapter.
