White Screen - iPod Video 5th - Screen is not the problem?

Hello ☺️

my iPod goes in to a white screen most of the time. I read multiple times, that it should be a problem with the display itself or the display connector. However im confident, that this is not the case here. Here is why:

  • Sometimes when I use Reset Mode, it directly works again. 
  • Sometimes when I use Disk Mode, it works again. 
  • Sometimes when I have it connected to my computer it works again.
  • The problem doesn't go along with vibrations or something like that. 
  • When the screen is white, the whole iPod is frozen, none of the controls work anymore.

Thats why a display or display connector problem should be ruled out, I think? 

If it goes in to the white screen, it stays that way until the battery is empty. Sometimes the iPod stops working in the middle of playing an album. Sometimes, when the iPod is playing music, the screen suddenly shows wrong things, like the items on the display are missplaced or frozen. Then it goes in to the white screen again. Also the problem didn't appear instantly, it rather grew over the period of 2 months. Now im in a state, where I cant get it out of the white screen anymore at all. 

I modded it with an iFlash-Solo, 128 gb SD Card, and a new battery. However, I think the battery was of a bad quality.

Could the battery be the problem? Or might it be the main board? 🥲🤔

My current setup 🎧

Keep ​my iPod Classic 3rd gen resting in the ​original Apple dock, paired up with a mini speaker for background tunes,​​ wrapped the iPod in the ​​MO CORNER "The Contour" case — which I designed​​​ ​to sit perfectly flush even when docked, and the fit turned out incredibly clean.

iPod Classic 5th gen protection case

Hey fellow Germans (or anyone shipping to Germany) – where do you guys get your iPod Classic cases/shells for protection from?
I keep finding stuff for the thin models but basically nothing for the thick one. Also planning to do a flash mod and battery swap myself down the road – so if anyone has good sources for parts that don’t rape your wallet with 40€+ shipping to Germany, I’d love to know!
Any shops or links appreciated!

Modded iPod for running

i’m pretty new to the modded ipod community but i remember having an ipod nano (6th gen) and really liked the small form factor and the clamp.

Since i’m a runner I really just don’t like going out with my iphone since it’s too heavy and whenever i take a step it just moves way too much.

I know you basically can’t mod an iPod Nano because it’s way too small so i just wanted to ask what the best option was.

Altoids Ipod?

I have this Ipod nano gen 5 with a crappy battery. I’ve already taken the internals out and in the process broke the ribbon cable for the locking thingy. I would fix it but I never used it anyways. But the shell was really scratched up and I was thinking about maybe using an Altoids tin to use as a shell and have everything inside there. Has this been done before? I haven’t seen anything with a nano and i’m curious if I should do this or just get another normal shell.

iFlash solo with micro SD in Adapter

Am I being completely dense, or instead of installing a uDual or Quad, could I put a micro SD card in its SD adapter and use a Solo? Or does it have to use a standard SD card? Thanks guys!

So I was taking the motherboard out so I can put in a new click wheel of my choose and in the video I was watching showed 2 screws behind the click wheel to remove motherboard. Well mine had a white sticker circle sticker behind it I thought was covering the screws so I took the sticker off but it broke in the process. Can the iPod be used without this sticker?
