Fix broken ipod by putting into a freezer! 26 September 2006, 22:18
Posted by Orhan in : Geeky Techy Stuff , 7 commentsAfter I recovered my data from a failed external hard disk, I told my story to people around me, enjoying the surprize effect it had on them. It has been almost a few months now, and I almost totally forgot about the fun fix until my advisor, Dr. Smtih, told me even a funnier freezer story.
Her son’s ipod recently decided not to start at all. He tried everything but could not bring the thing back to life. Then she says she told him to put it in the freezer, because she knows that it fixed my external hard disk. He had nothing to loose so he puts it in a sealed bag, into the freezer, and forgot the ipod in there for 2 days.
The end? NOW THE IPOD WORKS!! Hah haa. I have heard and personally experienced the phenomenon of hard disks being repaired by putting into the freezer but an IPOD??
If you are experiencing similar problems with your pod, try the freezer. You have nothing to loose (DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK though!).
