We talk about replacing your iPod??™s hard drive in Chapter 6. The bad
news is that you might lose some data, especially if you don??™t have backup
copies of your music files somewhere, like on your computer. You do keep
backup copies, right?
A passing grade in the hard drive scan means that your hard drive is fine but
that your iPod is probably suffering from a bad logic board. You might think that
such a repair is way beyond your skill, but actually it??™s as simple as any other
procedure in this book. We show you how to replace the logic board in Chapter 9.
Interpret the Folder Icon
Occasionally, the iPod??™s folder icon (see Figure 2-7) means the same thing as
the sad face??”namely, a hardware issue??”but more often it means that your
iPod is having a software issue. Perhaps your iPod??™s operating system is not
functioning fully or your hard drive is not completely connecting. The chances
are pretty good that you can fix your iPod with a minimum of fuss, although
you might end up having to replace some parts.
TIP
Always, always, always make backup copies of your
data files, including your music files.
