To do this, you need to crack open the iPod??™s case (see Chapter 3 for
details). Once you??™ve opened your iPod, disconnect the hard drive connector
from the logic board and then plug it back in. Normally, this fix resets the hard
drive. It can get the iPod working again??”sometimes temporarily, sometimes for
the long haul??”but you shouldn??™t attempt it until you??™re more familiar with the
procedures in this book.
Check the Signs of a Low Battery
When John Lennon??™s energy was on the wane, he wrote tunes like ???I??™m So
Tired??? for the Beatles. Your iPod shows icons, screens, and symbols instead.
Nine times out of ten, you can solve all battery issues simply by plugging in,
just like Dylan did at the Newport Folk Festival. Occasionally, the battery itself
is bad, but now we??™re getting ahead of ourselves. If your iPod is experiencing
power issues, this section gives you a place to start.
Interpret the Low-Battery Icon
The low-battery icon (see Figure 2-8) normally appears when your iPod??™s charge
is low. Older iPods??”those with monochrome screens??”show this icon.
