Simple Fix To iPod Madness?

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?"

  1. Thermal Paste by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I believe you will find that the idiots at Apple have no idea how to apply thermal paste, and have applied WAY TOO MUCH to the processor heat sink. You of course, are much smarter than those idiots at Apple and should remove the heatsink and apply a THIN LAYER of heatsink compound instead.
