Simple Fix To iPod Madness?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the what-you-might-call-counterintuitive dept.

doce writes "After chunking my seemingly dead iPod off my balcony while reviewing a rubberized case, the darned thing started working again, though not quite perfectly. After taking it apart, I managed to fix it properly just by reseating the hard drive cable. Could this be the cause of all the click-of-death "sad iPod" failures users are seeing?"

      Hmm. How insightful. Tell me more sir.

      No, the correct phrase is "I am intrigued by your ideas, sir, and would like to subscribe to your newsletter."
