Introducción

La rueda de clic recibe la respuesta de tus dedos y la transmite a la placa lógica.

    • Inserta con cuidado un destornillador pequeño de cabeza plana o Jimmy en la costura entre la carcasa de metal y la tapa de plástico blanco. Utiliza el destornillador para levantar el bisel superior de plástico blanco. Ten cuidado de no dañar el plástico blando con el destornillador.

    Again, be mindful and careful of the little white teeth on the underside of the plastic especially the two on the ends of the long sides.

    I used Stanley knife blade to gently prise both top and bottom plastic covers

    Like I do for the top, I use a thin plastic guitar pick to wedge between the plastic cap and metal case. Once it’s in, turn the pick horizontal (same as the cap) and work it around until you can get your fingernails under it. Also, I believe this cap is made to go on only one way, so maybe mark which edge is front or back

    • Un pequeño par de pinzas para anillos de presión es la herramienta más fácil para extraer el soporte de retención metálico.

    • También puedes usar un destornillador de punta plana para extraer el soporte de retención metálico debajo del bisel inferior, como se muestra. Puedes liberar el soporte empujando primero los brazos de metal en las esquinas y luego levantando el soporte.

    Be *very* careful on the left hand side. It's almost too easy to scrape the click wheel cable and cause damage to it!

    I used a circlip tool and for removal and reinsertion. It was fast and easy and avoids bending the part. They are also referred to as snap ring pliers.

    There are two kinds of snap ring pliers available. One pivots like regular pliers, one hinges in reverse (when you squeeze the handles, the tips spread). Use the first type.

    My click wheel lost some of its functionality. The back button, and the touch sensitivity to scroll through songs isn't working. :(

    Hi,

    I have followed this very good tutorial as carefully as I could and I thank you very much for having posted it!

    However, my problem is not solved. After having connect-disconnect issues when used with car charger, the iPod started making faint noise when plugged and refused to charge or start-up. I thought it was a mechanical noise (hard drive?) but obviously it is not the case because battery and hard drive are now unplugged, and the board-screen assembly still makes the same noise when plugged in a USB socket (but of course I can't localize the origin of that noise).

    Do you have any idea what it might be due to?

    Thank you in advance for any advice,

    Maxime

    I would definitely recommend either circlip pliers to take out the metal retaining bracket because using a screwdriver leaves obvious marks on he corners of the case. I have noticed many for sale on eBay that have these marks. There are now plastic 'lifters' available to remove the top and bottom bezels and these are brilliant if used carefully and go in easily on the click wheel / screen side but be aware that when removing the bottom bezel it may bend the case a bit but it is easily persuaded back into shape. I too have carried out 64 GB, 128 GB and 256 GB conversions to the mini with a compact flash to SD card adapter and before fitting I format the card in my Sony Alpha 350 camera and it works a treat. My daughter loves her 128 gb converted mini and it's almost bombproof with a solid state memory on board.

    Rather than pry the ends of the clip out, insert the flat screwdriver as shown ( maybe a little more straight up) and slide it toward the open end, lifting as you go, and the corner of the clip will pop right out.

    This is possibly the hardest part of this job for me. Getting this metal spring clip out without damaging the ribbon cable that’s right under one side is tricky. Take your time and use care to avoid touching the cable.

    Ken Mastri -

    In my ‘repair’, I managed to do the above on the side away from the clickwheel connector. I pried it up, and gently wiggled it free from the space. That way you don’t need to go prying at the connector, at cost of causing some scrape marks on the inside of the casing. Rather have internal scrapes than needing to replace the clickwheel!

    • Levanta el soporte de retención de metal para extraerlo del iPod.

  4. MYUtsHWKcQ3WKOB1

    • Usa un spudger o la punta de tu dedo para desconectar cuidadosamente la cinta naranja de la rueda de clic de la placa lógica.

    Ich würde nicht dort seitlich ansetzen, sondern vorne. Mir ist seitlich leider das Flachbandkabel von der Platine abgerissen – also kaputt :-/

    Das Bild ist also eher irreführend. Fürs nächste Mal weiß ich es besser.

    • Usa un spudger para tirar hacia atrás de la pequeña pestaña de plástico negro que sujeta la rueda de clic en su lugar.

  6. RfIkCJ6mwI66QDPY

    • Continúa tirando hacia atrás de la pestaña de plástico negro, usa la otra mano para presionar la rueda de clic y comienza a deslizarla fuera del iPod.

    • Es importante presionar la rueda de clic mientras la deslizas hacia afuera. Si no, la carcasa metálica del iPod podría rayar la rueda de clic. Para evitar que la rueda de clic se raye durante la extracción/instalación, puedes colocar cinta adhesiva de pintor azul sobre la rueda de clic. Puedes quitarla sin dejar residuos después de terminar.

    • Continúa deslizando la rueda de clic hacia afuera hasta que quede libre del iPod.

Conclusión

Para volver a armar tu dispositivo, sigue estas instrucciones en orden inverso.

Hi guys. I have problem with ipod mini click wheel. I allreadu order it new one, once i replace it its still problem with them. Once i press menu button or home button.My ipod reset.

See movie below:

Is this are problem with Click Wheel, or iPod mother board ?

info -

I wonder if you ever got this resolved? I am trying to restore an old ipod mini and have the same issue.

martin8777 -

So, as soon as you press the menu or center button, it resets? Sounds more like a logic board problem. (Have you tried restoring it in iTunes?)

Daniel Korzhenevich -

yeah, tried that a number of times. also have swapped out the hard drive for a cf card with sd card in it and still get the same issue.

martin8777 -

I guess it must be the logic board as I can power it on by holding the menu button. With the original hard drive in, it just does nothing when I press buttons and with the cf card in, it resets as soon as I press anything.

It’s a real shame as its such a nice piece of hardware and I love to restore faulty gear back to working order.

Interestingly enough, it does work fine if I dock it on my stereo or ipod dock and I can move around the menus using that remote. Maybe it will just live in my basement docked on an old speaker I have down there.

If you test the iPod and the click wheel is not working, try putting in the metal bracket, after putting mine in the click wheel started working again, I think that added pressure from the metal bracket is required to get the click wheel to work.

Hi, I just replaced the battery and the sd card of my ipod mini. So fine so good, when I connected it to my laptop I could transfer some music on my ipod. However, after unplugging and starting the ipod my click wheel doesn’t work anymore. No reaction at all. Is there somethibg important I missed when reassembling? I tried to unplug and plug the click wheel back in several times, but with no success.

Peter Griffin -

my click wheel stopped after breaking the cable when putting in a new HDD and battery, Every time I click it turns off …. anyone know how to fix this??
