ipod clicking when i touch screen

[grim radish]

should i be worried about this?

[vapid crater]

Does is still work how it's supposed to?

Is something in it?

[grim radish]

yeah

[grim radish]

nah

[vapid crater]

I would not mess around with it that much

Alright, then let it be

Keep me posted

[grim radish]

ight ty

[vapid crater]

yer

[grim radish]

yeah it feels hot n smells like something burning is that normal?

but thats when i have the screen is on

it cools down when i dont use the screen

[vapid crater]

Bro

Turn it off

Unplug it

That’s not normal

@grim radish

Unplug it

ASAP

Don’t use it

Put it somewhere safe, not on carpet. Such as a wooden area

[grim radish]

yeah

did that

[vapid crater]

Good

Don’t touch it

[grim radish]

like its not hot just warm

idk 😭

[vapid crater]

That’s not normal

I would drain the battery and throw it away

That’s beyond repair

If it’s hot and smoking?

Smells like it’s burning(

[grim radish]

its not smoking

[vapid crater]

It could

[grim radish]

just smells hot

[vapid crater]

Yeah

Don’t mess with it

The battery might be inflamed

[grim radish]

could i replace the battery?

[vapid crater]

Don’t take it apart

[vapid crater]

No

Nanos are nutritious for being hard to replace the bat

[grim radish]

i mean like pay someone to repair it

[vapid crater]

No.

Not worth it

Buy a new one on eBay

Then throw it away^

It’s broken.

Where did you even get it?

[grim radish]

friend

[vapid crater]

Alright

[grim radish]

it was working fine yesterday

[vapid crater]

Ask him if there were any issues prior

Gotcha

@opaque blaze can you help him?

His iPods hot and the battery’s inflamed

He’s smelling smoke

Read above

[grim radish]

prob just gon put it in the fridge 😭

[vapid crater]

…

Idk if that’s a good idea

[grim radish]

well idk

[opaque blaze]

what the fuck is that suggestion bro

that'll instantly short it out

[opaque blaze]

probably for the best, but away from other foods

you'll want to keep it in its own container at some point to transport it to a recycling facility that can take electronics, potentially specifically damaged lithium batteries

[grim radish]

yh

[grim radish]

should i try to get it replaced bc its in mint condition

[opaque blaze]

uhhhh

you should have a bucket of sand ready if you do

[grim radish]

n i spent like all my money on it

[opaque blaze]

a nice big solder mat as well

[vapid crater]

That’s why

[opaque blaze]

well tough luck mate this one is explosive

[vapid crater]

If it gets worse

[vapid crater]

How much if you mind me asking?

[opaque blaze]

yeah so you don't want to short it or you'll actually start the lithium fire

[grim radish]

50ish bucks

but im broke

[opaque blaze]

sand bucket

[vapid crater]

Oof

[opaque blaze]

50 BUCKS?

[vapid crater]

Yeh

[opaque blaze]

you gor ripped off bro

[vapid crater]

That’s crazy

Get your money back

[opaque blaze]

is it returnable

[grim radish]

that was plus tax n shipping

[opaque blaze]

was it marked working on like ebay or smth

[grim radish]

😭

[grim radish]

yeah

'it was fine yesterday so

[opaque blaze]

well uhh you might want to request a return if you're still within the 30-day window

[grim radish]

mhm

imma put it in a jar n try to get it replaced

[opaque blaze]

yeah thats probably for the best atm

where does this seller ship from btw?

[grim radish]

my friend is in england

[opaque blaze]

ah

I see

[grim radish]

so it might of had a bad ride or smth

he told me the battery was good

[opaque blaze]

i was hoping you bought a shitty chinese refurb so its easier to get a refund

[opaque blaze]

oh...

well not anymore considering the bad smells

wait

[grim radish]

yeah

[opaque blaze]

what are you doing when it gets warm?

and is it just warm or is it like burning dangerously hot

[grim radish]

turning it off

[grim radish]

its like

a little under when ur phone gets hot

[opaque blaze]

that sounds... not too unusual but I usually only get that when I plug one in to charge

is there any smoke coming from the top?

[grim radish]

i think i over charged it bc it was rlly hot when it was plugged in

[grim radish]

thankfully not

or i would of tossed it

[opaque blaze]

I'm also unsure whether this light clicking is from a repair job or if its shorting something when you press it

[opaque blaze]

was it fully charged or still charging?

[grim radish]

im not sure

[opaque blaze]

damn

[grim radish]

i just got it

[opaque blaze]

what kind of charger did you use

[grim radish]

a old shitty one i found

i have had 2 ipods in the past but no click wheel ones

[opaque blaze]

eugh

I would use specifically the 5W Apple cube

[vapid crater]

Fr

[grim radish]

could i go into a apple store and get it?

[vapid crater]

Probably

[grim radish]

oh

i was using a random black cube

[opaque blaze]

they dont sell it anymore

[opaque blaze]

ew

[opaque blaze]

what are the volts and amps indicated on its ass?

[opaque blaze]

yeah thats the ideal charging apparatus

[grim radish]

im not sure

[vapid crater]

Yer

[grim radish]

intresting

[opaque blaze]

it doesn't say anything?

[grim radish]

can i get anything like this

[grim radish]

nah

[opaque blaze]

ideally it should say 5V 1A

as the output

[vapid crater]

This

[opaque blaze]

that photo be bleached as fuck

[vapid crater]

Blurry

[opaque blaze]

i have 4 bootlegs

[grim radish]

does the cable matter if i get the 5w cube?

[opaque blaze]

not really

as long as its a 30-pin usb cable that isnt destroyed, it should be fine

[grim radish]

alright

[grim radish]

imma try and replace it bc the screen is not black

praying it works

[opaque blaze]

oh

[grim radish]

lmaoooo

[opaque blaze]

do you know if it even is the battery issue?

[grim radish]

bad idea?

[opaque blaze]

if you;re a beginner, yes

its a horrible idea

[grim radish]

no i just felt it and smelt it in the batter part

[grim radish]

no no no

going to a store and getting them to fix it

[opaque blaze]

ah you could try

[vapid crater]

How

Bro

I can’t get a close up

[opaque blaze]

although I doubt most places have any spare parts or knowhow to fix it

[vapid crater]

^

[grim radish]

would i needa buy a new one

?

[vapid crater]

Get a refund Brodie

[opaque blaze]

sometimes you need to keep things away from the light a little, but also apple's printing is just hella hard to get a photo of

[opaque blaze]

you'd need a new battery to start

and any other parts that might break during disassembly

[opaque blaze]

yeah just get a refund bro

return it under item defective or something

[grim radish]

i cant

sadly

[opaque blaze]

rip

is that $50 USD?

[grim radish]

yeah

how much is a replacement battery?

[opaque blaze]

thats disgusting

[vapid crater]

This is my iPod setup

[opaque blaze]

normally its $7 USD but with tariffs it becomes like $20

[vapid crater]

Don’t replace it

Not worth it

[opaque blaze]

yeah...

idk, the initial ipod price was already a ripoff

[vapid crater]

Also a fire hazard

[vapid crater]

Fr

[opaque blaze]

for that price + shipping I got like three 5th gens a few weeks ago

[vapid crater]

Fr

Wait

$50

USD?

3 5th gen sd

Gens

For $50

[grim radish]

4th

[vapid crater]

No way

[vapid crater]

Ik yours is a 4th gen

We are talking about 5th gen’s

[opaque blaze]

i'm in canada so convert that to cad, and if you add shipping and taxes to this guy's nano price, idk I would imagine its roughly $100 cad spent? and so thats what i paid for three 5th gens

[vapid crater]

Ahh

[opaque blaze]

in total

[vapid crater]

Gotcha

[opaque blaze]

because it was local marketplace

[grim radish]

oh

[opaque blaze]

one of them was a thick 5.5 gen in good condition

[vapid crater]

Geez

[grim radish]

should i just get all the parts out and keep the case for replacements

[vapid crater]

No

Don’t take it apart

[grim radish]

why not?

[vapid crater]

https://tenor.com/view/seal-sea-lion-explode-explosion-scream-gif-25321526

[grim radish]

intresting

[vapid crater]

Yeh

It will explode

[grim radish]

im just so confused bc the screen is not popped out or anything

[vapid crater]

Brother

Don’t take it apart

[grim radish]

nah i wont

[opaque blaze]

I'm not sure either

I'm also still unsure whether the smell you got was actual lithium smell or something else

[vapid crater]

Yeah

Does it smell like acid?

Idk how to describe it

[grim radish]

no

very very faint ashes

[vapid crater]

But does it smell like how a battery tastes

[vapid crater]

Hmm

@opaque blaze

What do you think

[grim radish]

like i can only notice if i put my nose to the screen

[vapid crater]

Still

My iPod smells like Steve Jobs

[opaque blaze]

was this ipod repaired?

[vapid crater]

Yours

A fire

[grim radish]

not sure

[vapid crater]

Probably

[opaque blaze]

if so, that could just be residual solder smell

[vapid crater]

😭

You said it’s a friend

Text him

Ask him

[grim radish]

got u

imma just get it checked up ill update yall

[vapid crater]

Great

[grim radish]

sorry for the hassle guys 😭

[vapid crater]

No problem!

I enjoy helping

[simple orbit]

are you fucking stupid

[vapid crater]

Bro

We’ve been over this

It’s what someone recommended to me a couple months ago

You are you trying to target me

For every message I send

You target me

[simple orbit]

Not even that

That’s the DUMBEST thing I’ve seen someone suggest

[opaque blaze]

no but thats genuinely the worst piece of advice i've ever heard regarding electronics

[vapid crater]

I agree, I should not have reccomended that

[vapid crater]

Lmaoo

Some guy said it to me

[simple orbit]

Submerge a electronic in salt water

[vapid crater]

He left the server

[vapid crater]

Idk

[simple orbit]

Like Holy shit

[opaque blaze]

pure water itself won't short out components and will just lead to corrosion down the line

[simple orbit]

You do not give out good suggestions

[vapid crater]

They said “it kills the battery”

[opaque blaze]

salt water will short stuff out

[opaque blaze]

and yourself

[vapid crater]

Lmao

Yeah sorry

[opaque blaze]

do some research before just repeating what someone else says

[vapid crater]

Alright

[simple orbit]

genuinely like

[vapid crater]

I’ll do that next time

Sorry

[grim radish]

Sorry kez for the ping

i think im just paranoid

[vapid crater]

…

“It’s not heating up”

“But it’s getting warm”

That’s like saying

“A hot pocket gets cold”

“But the microwave makes it colder”

It makes no sense

😭
