There's basically an imaginary horizontal line in the screen where it assumes I'm not touching it, which locks me out of certain menu items, and forbids me from scrolling with too big finger motions. Is there any chance I can solve this without replacing the digitizer?

My "sleep/wake" button is also stuck, but that's the smaller issue

I initially thought the problem was with the video file itself, but when I connected my iPod nano 7 to my computer via iTunes and played the video stored on the iPod's internal memory, everything played back perfectly without any noise.

Additionally, when I play music and quickly drag the progress bar, I notice a very brief noise, which is so short that it's almost unnoticeable unless you listen carefully.

The video format details are as follows: H.264, 720 x 576, 30 fps, Baseline. The audio format details are: AAC-LC, 128kbps, 48kHz.

I've checked my headphones and they are working fine. I've also tried restarting my iPod, using different format conversion software, and even importing the video using another computer, but the problem still persists. =(

Currently, my iPod hasn't suffered any severe impacts or water damage, and the battery hasn't been replaced since I bought it.

I suspect the issue might be due to battery aging, as when charging, it doesn't show the charging process animation but directly displays the fully charged state animation (although this could be by design). I can't think of any other reason for this problem. I'm hoping someone can help me resolve this issue. :)

Hello, I want to ask a 2 part question. If anyone can help, I got an iPod nano 7th gen from eBay, and I thought It needed a new battery but it did power on but none the tuch would not work the sleep wake would not work as well as the volume up or down. So my question is can the ribbon cable that is in the red be removed and repalce if yes how. Now for the 2nd part the one in yellow the back cable brokeoff the top part of the tab and I am unable to remove it from the Connect to on the board as it's stuck in there is there any way to remove it. The the yellow has So much water on it that it looked corroded. Thay when I wend to pull it up it just Ripped off with it out the Connect to bean removed.

I have tried using compressed air around the button exterior and have even wedged a needle between the button to get out anything that may have embedded itself but nothing seems to work.

If I have to take it apart to fix it, that’s fine. But I’ll need to know how since I can’t find a guide on it any place

Is there a solution to this? Is it even possible to diagnose and repair the defect that causes this problem?
