  • Always fun going through old phones... cleaning them, resetting them. Charity shops are a good place to get them.

    For the white iPhone try these:
    1. The battery may have too low charge to turn on even connected. Try connecting to a 10W charger for a couple of hours (2-3h). It may kick in.
    2. If it doesn't. Try disconnecting the battery tab from the main board and plugging in a charger. If it turns on without battery and starts boot looping it probably is okay and the battery is dead.
    Cheers!

    3:34 You're in luck with that one, not only it's an iPod Mini, but it's a 2nd gen one, considered one of the easiest iPods to mod to larger storages since it uses a HDD pinout similar to Compact Flash and can be expanded to a whoping 256GB. Not sure if you're interested on getting into iPods and changing the storage and battery, but it's a very nifty compact portable player.

    A lot of newer Android phones, like circa 2016 and later, can emulate a ton of retro stuff. Could be useful for that. I'm pretty sure there's a market for old iPods too. The mini like you have in this video and the classic from your first phone bag you could probably repair and make a profit on.

    Hello, Elliot,
    You can get an universal lipo clip-on charger with adjustable prongs for about 5 dollars from eBay like I did. The one with the LCD. That charger even detects the correct polarity. I use it almost every day and I always have it in my backpack as my old phone collection grows bigger and bigger. It helps me decide to buy a charger for the phone I have bought or not. If it does not work then I am not going to spend more money on it until I have fixed it.

    This reminds me of my phone history( I am old) I had the Nokia's 3000s at the start of the 21st century then moved onto the Sony Ericsson system and had tons of accessories and chargers for them from Bluetooth headphone adapter to a GPS headphone adaptor, most stupid thing about them if you couldn't find a full size adaptor the tiny 2 port power adapter for accessories would fit as they only used 2 of the contacts to charge the rest were for headphones and data use. Also the plastic clips that held the charger to the phone were way to sensitive and broke easily

    The iPod mini is actually fairly simple and fun to take apart. Id make sure to get a name brand or reputable battery. I got one on Amazon or eBay a bit cheap and it was a bit too cheap and doesn’t seem to last much better then the original! But really fun little iPods. Also really easy to swap an SD card instead of the little Flash cards those used. Can only get so many gigs of storage but still fun little iPods and cheaper to mod then others.

  • @stevencarlson5422
    @stevencarlson5422 Před 2 lety +8

    if you decide to work on the pink iPod mini make sure to watch plenty of repair videos on it to replace the battery, also i would suggest modding it with a compact flash card adapter and a micro SD card for more storage, these little iPod can store plenty of music with that and the battery last forever with the solid state memory compared to the small hard drive that is in it also the backlight was turned off in this video, you can turn that on in the settings and have a better looking display or for night use :) there is color mods for the display also if your up to it

    For the iPhone 4, if it’s not showing anything on the screen when you press the power button (like the symbol that it needs to charge) then it most likely needs a screen replacement, not a new charging port. I’ve seen the same thing on an iPhone 6, I replaced the screen and it worked perfectly

    The original Walkman came out in the late 1970s; the iPod didn't come out "shortly after." Sony also had a few other portable players in the interim, including the Discman, a portable CD player, and there were many, many competitors to both the Walkman and the Discman on the market.
    The iPod wasn't even the first portable mp3 player, it's just the first one that gained a huge amount of popularity.

    The black iPhone is a 4S and the white iPhone is an original 4. You can tell by the black lines on the side/top of the iPhone.
