When iPod is connected to a computer there are times when it should not be disconnected by simply unplugging the USB cable. The reason is because the computer may still be writing data to the device, removing it prematurely will cause data corruption. In these cases, iPod must first be ejected before it can be safely disconnected. iPod can be safely disconnected by simply unplugging the cable if the iPod display shows any of the following screens: "Charging" "Ok to disconnect" The iPod main menu with the Music, Settings, and Extras selections in addition to others iPod shuffle displays a solid amber or solid green LED iPod must be ejected first before disconnecting if any of the following screens are displayed on the iPod: "Do not disconnect" "Connected, Eject Before Disconnecting" "Sync in Progress, Please Wait..." iPod shuffle displays a blinking amber LED If the "Enable disk use" or "Manually manage music and videos" options are enabled for iPod in iTunes, iPod will need to be manually ejected before...
Just wanted to correct something in oldturkeys post. I made corrections below. 2. Hold down the Home button (located on the front bottom center of your iPod Touch/iPhone) and the Power button (top left for iPod Touch and top right for the iPhone with the screen facing you) simutaneously, until the screen goes black and the device turns off. (past the red slider/slide to power off screen)
I found another solder point for a z-spring connection. A wire would have to be soldered to it then soldered to the z-spring which in turn would have to be secured (super glue?) to the point where the spring was originally.
