Fruity Insanity Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) So, I jailbroke my iPod Touch (4G) recently. But then I started having problems. Being the tech-savvy guy I am, most of the problems I was able to work around. But yesterday, my iPod crashed... My computer didn't recognize it at all, so I couldn't get it to reboot from the PC. My home button was broken, so holding the power and homes buttons wouldn't work either. But then, I thought, "Eh, so what if I pry of the home button. It's not like it works, anyway." So I took it off... In the process, though, I accidentally severed a wire. (!) I was like, "*gasp* Oh no! What do I do?" It turned out, after a few minutes of inspecting, to be the wire that - I'm guessing here - transmits the home button command. (Fortunately, before I severed it, I was able to reboot...) I was wondering what to do... I could've left it... but I wanted to fix it. So I tried. Turns out, regular copper wire can transmit whatever commands the clicking the button sent. I just used wire from a pair of broken earphones I had. Worked perfectly. I hooked up the ends, taped them there, then cut a circle of plastic to cover it! Ingenious, huh? So I just fixed my home button with tape, wire, and a piece of plastic! X3 So happy, because it's better than paying to fix it at Bishkek, where it probably would be super expensive~ It's a bit crude... and maybe not 100% functional, but it works! (For the most part, at least.) EDIT: Not to mention, I've never worked with electronics before... X3 (Well, I fixed my headphones and earphones a few times, but those are nothing like an iPod...)

Esau of Isaac Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 So can you reprogram my VCR to say something other than 12:00 because I'm pretty sure that's what CERN's studying to do right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not that good. I was just surprised that I was actually able to fix my iPod, that's all... But yeah, all this technological stuff is beyond me. ._.
