my ipod classic 5th gen was working fine yesterday but this morning I tried playing it and everything works except the music bar wont play (as in it will always be on 0:00 unless i fast forward) as a result there is no music coming from it. ive tried different speakers and headphones but to no avail and am pretty sure its not a a headphone problem. The top left sign says it is playing
i think its a hardware problem because i think i can hear a loose part. any help?
@EmmaNiamhKiernan We repair iPods from all over the world. Feel free to send it in to us.
@ipodrepairguys can’t send it in i’m in ireland
@EmmaNiamhKiernan sounds like more than just a battery issue. Send it in for Diagnostics on the repairsharks website. We can take a look and let you know what the issue is. Thanks!

i dropped my ipod in sink it wont restore on itunes can u guys fix it and for how much?
how do you know whats wrong with your ipod classic i’m trying to fix mine and i was thinking of buying a battery but that might not be the problem. the problem is that it wont charge i plug it into my laptop and the ipod says ‘very low battery please wait..’ and then it shows an ipod with a sad face and tells me to go to the apple website. it makes an awful scratchy sound too. any help would be greatly appreciated
@bsangoz Drive sounds bad my friend. You can slap it a few times to see if it recovers but you may need a new drive. To get the data off at this point you may also need a data recovery service which is rather pricey I believe.
@SimplyCoolVids Old yes but very active still. We repair tons of these. You have a bad drive, you can smack it on your palm hardly a few times to see if it can read again, if not most likely needs to be replaced which we can do for you. Getting the data off in this condition would be pretty expensive and you would possibly need a data recovery service.
Hello. I realize this vid is old but I am trying to fix my friend’s ipod. it is a classic that when it turns on it gives the red x screen. I can hear a clicking or small scratching sound inside when i attempt to turn it on. Is there anything I can do in order to pull the files off (preferably free, but if not i can deal). Thank you so much! Good to know someone knows alot about Ipods!
Well this poor guy seems to be almost braindead from all his ipod fixing experiences, so i think it probably best to try get a new one, or one that has been already fixed. My ipod is not working, hard drive failure i think, but i’m too young for a lobotomy, so I’m not going to pry myself into an early grave. Was considering it, but am just going to look for a reconditioned one. Normally i’m fully on for fixing something, but i’m getting a bad vibe of all of this

it says error 1439 when i try to restore it can u give me an idea on how to fix it plz
Hey buddy my ipod is totally F*****D I dropped it after a gym session and whenever i try to to turn it on it makes a grinding noise, when that happens it shows an image of an ipod with a sad face and says something along the lines of “go to itunes.com/support/ipod” i dont know what to do. the only thing i want from it is the music and playlists as it has some important music that was difficult for me to obtain can you help me in any way? IF so PLEASE contact me asap? Thanks.
I have those green tools that you do but they’re crap, one broke when i attempting to pry a first clip. What should I do? :/ Ive tried Stanley blades, knives and most usefully so far a fondue fork, but still cant do it
@ipodrepairguys And like i tried to restore the default settings but still no good. and like when i try to scroll, i can here it like beep when i try to scroll up and down
@bukxxtravis Could be a drive issue, we can take a look at it for you and see if you can save it.
