Apple iPod Hi-Fi Disassembly Guide 

Glad I could help ! It's gonna be a bitch getting a "stock" looking fix, since the thing needs to tell the main board when to turn the amp on ... and that mechanism is optical You sure there's not just some dirt in it preventing it from realizing shit's plugged in ?

but it is not headphone jack. it is line in not out :) I have probably some cold solder joints issiues with mine but i stick with it without teardown. It boders me only time to time on summer

Darieee I am quite sure, but not 100% certain. I’m finally just about to get into it, so I guess I’ll start with checking for dirt and stuff. Good tip, thanks for that 👍🏾

+ciro589m thanks ! they sure are xD

As a replacement? Mmm, try finding broken iPod Hi Fis ... those are super custom 3 screw drivers ... doubt you'll find anything that'll fit

stop plugging it in for a start - it's really unhappy the power supply went out -- take it apart, and either try and fix that yourself, or take the supply board to a local electronics repair shop - they're 99% of the time easy fixes if it hasn't been powered by the broken supply for too long, chances are good that everything downstream is fine (should be an easy fix since something seems to have failed catastrophically in your case, since it went bust from one moment to another)

There is a dirty and inelegant workaround to having that pinout .. There's various 30pin female to whatever ... maybe you could buzz it out like that? Or on the solder points of the male 30pin?

@@Darieee Someone physically removed the 30 pin dock from this iPod HiFi . There is just a hole where it used to be. I do have the cable that connects the dock to the amplifier board, so if I had the pinout, I could connect directly to the cable.

Got it .. yeah .. quite a rough situation; good luck!

Check the voltages on the power supply

already did it. It's ok.

Do they stay at the right voltages when you try and use it ? Perhaps the main board drawing current makes a rail go down

Darieee Hi, sorry there is no current on the main board.

well, you could then be looking at a faulty main board ..

Yup, they don't move much, and benefit from a different volume of enclosure - it's also full of damping material in there Also, you would hear a distorted, barrely sound if all 3 speakers would share the same space

Also do you think the front plate could of been screwed in using the 4 holes and some plastic clips around the edges?

I don't get your question now You can see exactly how it's screwed in -- there's 8 screws and no clips

Im talking about the piece you had to heatup to unbond

Oh, .. mmm .. probably, but it'd not look that nice - I just used a bit of sanitary silicone Take a lot of time to dry (12 hours ? probably way less is fine too), and it dries rubbery, and tears quite easily, so, perfect for this kind of application
