Ipod Classic 6th gen 2nd revision doesn´t turn on
Hello,
A month ago a bought an ipod classic 7th gen from a guy who tried to dissasemble the ipod and failed miserably, broke the chassis, the screen ben the front and back plate,etc.
When i arrived home i tested it to see if was actually working, and the screen in spite of beeing damage, displayed some stuff, white and black screen mostly, but it worked. Fastforward a month and i now have the parts needed for the repair, replaced the parted, reassembled it, and before closing it giving it a final test.
Now it doesn´t work, at all. Connected another working battery, no luck, another HDD, neither, SD card, it changed nothing. I tried connecting it to my pc to see if it gets recognized by itunes or as a partition in case the display is defective, but no luck.
I'am afraid that i might of been to forceful when trying to separate the mobo from the chassis, and in doing so, unsoldering some component here and there. I tasted some terminals. Battery pins are ok, display ok, HDD pins ok. pins and some components(haven´t tested all of them) getting their respective voltages, so most seems ok, yet the ipod won´t turn on.
So, here i am, with an ipod mobo and spare parts i can do nothing with atm.
If you have any suggestions as to what may be the problem, i would be much appreciated
