The ipod charges up but when I come to turn it on it just clicks about 3 times and doesn’t do anything else apart turn off, can anybody please let me know what is wrong and what parts I need to replace ? I am thinking hard drive but not too sure if this is what is casuing the issue. thanks in advance for your help.
Damaged hard drive. Usually, when a spindle drive starts clicking, it means it’s nearing the end of its life. You’re going to need to replace the drive with a new one, preferably an adapter to an SD card or the like, to gain better battery life and faster loading times. Do note, if there’s anything on the iPod original drive, you won’t be able to retrieve it, since the drive is dead.
