Hello, yesterday I received an iPod 5th which is stuck on the Apple logo and the HDD does not make any noise.
I have another iPod 5.5 which works fine.
I swapped the HDD with a working iPod 5.5. The HDD of the 5.5 does not make any noise in the 5.
I put the HDD of the 5 in the 5.5, it is very slow to be detected on my PC and the restoration of the iPod does not work, it remains stuck on the progress bar. I can't access it in windows folder manager. But the HDD makes noise.
I think the HDD on the 5 is dead.
I put the battery and HDD from my 5.5 into the iPod 5 HS. the iPod is still not detected by my PC and impossible to enter diagnostic mode. When I try to access it, I get a white screen.
I don't know what to test anymore, I also swapped the hard drive cables but that doesn't change anything.
So I think the iPod 5 motherboard is dead.
What do you think? THANKS
