Hello, I have broken the header pin in the logic board of the IPOD classic 4th generation when I have changed the hard drive, the one that clips with the little connector with the ribbon cable. These pins were very very thin. Do you have any ideas ? Due to this, the ipod is locked on hold, but otherwhise everything else is working. Mise à jour (11/09/2017) Hi, Here are 2 more pictures : http://hpics.li/cb9ba38 The 10 very very thin little pins are broken so now there is no connection between picture 1 and the connector in picture 2. The connector is so small http://hpics.li/6a4c0c6 What do you recommand ? Thank you, Michael
Show us a picture of the damage—connector damage is always repairable.
I had a similar problem with the digitizer on my iphone 5s and unfortunately couldn’t fix it on my own. To my understanding, you either need to take it to a specialist or call it there, which is unlucky because it’s such a tiny part that makes such a large difference. From what I learned from being at IFixit, you can try carefully to bend the leads out or clean it, which may or may not work. Best of luck, I feel your pain (RIP Iphone 5s)
