I suppose it could be too late for that, but I believe in you!The Fankshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16773121224291088825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6539385.post-1154552157524736372006-08-02T13:55:00.000-07:002006-08-02T13:55:00.000-07:00Send it on, though I have to say, I have no idea h...Send it on, though I have to say, I have no idea how to crack open a mini. They're different... I'd be happy to give it a go. [edit - Curiosity got the better of me: Here's how you crack it, if you get ambitious<BR/><BR/>http://eshop.macsales.com/tech_center/<BR/>index.cfm?page=Video/ipod/mini/low.html]<BR/><BR/>The good news is that replacement click wheels are among the cheapest components to replace. Check ebay. Also, you can try out your dexterity by entering "diagnostic mode" to let the iPod detail to you what exactly is wrong with it. It's all on Apple's support page.<BR/><BR/>Josh, I'm well aware of the damage to my iPod's hard drive done in the fall. I've formatted it and restored it numerous times in disc utility and other places. It has some bad sectors. However, the "whirrr-click, whirrr-click" of the HD trying to spin up but not being able to due to insufficient power is different from it spinning up, playing 30sec. into a song then freezing (which it had been doing, most recently in May, when I chucked it into a drawer after about 5 hours of troubleshooting). My new theory is that the iTrip FM transmitter puts undue strain on the battery depleting them earlier than normal use.<BR/><BR/>I know it's on borrowed time, but as long as it lasts I'm enjoying my podcasts while cleaning the appartment during eleanor's naptime nonetheless.M.
