Closed everything up, then this bubble appeared. The aftermarket button also got stuck on the pause button, so I was forced to open this thing up again (destroying the LCD & Faceplate in the process). With that being said, if anyone has any suggestions before I get some new parts, please let me know. I’d really appreciate it.

New battery, and iFlash was installed. I closed everything up nicely, and this bubble appeared. What should I do? Why is this process actually so stressful lmfaoo. Always something..

fully assembled everything. iPod turned on with ITunes and I was actually able to install a bunch of music on to the 256gb SD card. Wheel is connected to the board (OG wheel, not a fan of the wheel that came with the faceplate from AliExpress), however nothing seems to be working. Assembled and dissembled everything about 3 times only to reach the same result.

Anyone know where I can get a good wheel online that doesn’t feel “cheap”? I did attempt to hook up the new wheel I had but it had no click to it for the buttons underneath so I didn’t bother going all the way.

I don’t think the board itself is broken..? Has to be the wheel, but nothing looks wrong with it.

The red faceplate is from AliExpress and the black wheel and grey button are from the OG iPod I’m repairing. The grey button clicks fine but the other buttons don’t really click in. Anyone know a fix? It’s seated properly so I don’t understand.. Thanks.
