iPod Touch 7th Generation: Can I just repair the front glass (screen)?

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 04:12:33 -0700

I used IFIXIT to repair my iPhone 4s years ago and it came out fine!

Now my wife has an iPod touch 7th gen that she dropped and the glass (screen?) is broken. It is like a cracked window. The unit still works fine, but I would like to replace the glass. In reading the detailed procedure on your website, I wonder if I need to do all the steps required (like detaching the home button, the lightning connection, speaker, moving the battery out of the way, etc. all to just replace the front glass? It seems like a lot of work!

iPod Touch 7th Generation: I cannot get my iPod to swipe or reset.

Mon, 28 Apr 2025 20:27:17 -0700

I cannot get my iPod to let me swipe my used apps off the screen or even swipe to turn it off. I tried to reset by holding the power button and the round home button at the same time and it does nothing. I can tap my apps and they work fine, it just seems to be the swiping motion. I admit I am totally ignorant about all electronics so my terminology is probably wrong and I apologize for this.

iPod Touch 7th Generation: Battery removal is never mentioned

Mon, 07 Apr 2025 09:11:21 -0700

In all of the answers after step 22 -all the guides instruct to set aside the battery to the left. None of them say actually how to remove the battery in full.

How it is done? Thanks all- I just need to service the battery.

iPod Touch 7th Generation: How to fix a dropped iPod?

Mon, 09 Sep 2024 09:13:22 -0700

I dropped my Ipod on the ground about an hour ago and it is just the glitchy screen with the lines. How do I fix this techy people?

Update: I let it die and then plugged it in and left it alone for a couple hours and it seems to be working fine now. There is still some slight screen flashing but it’s almost unnoticeable.

iPod Touch 7th Generation: Why does my iPad not charge or boot?

Sat, 03 Aug 2024 01:34:14 -0700

My iPad has not charged or booted up in over a year. No apple logo,no response to charging, nothing. I don't know if it is obsolete and therefore doesn't work permanently or if there is a fix? Also when it did work the apps one by one stopped working. Let me know your thoughts.

iPod Touch 7th Generation: Anyone know how to fix an iPod Touch 7th Gen audio jack?

Sun, 06 Nov 2022 02:01:10 -0700

I don't have the money to buy a new one at the moment and I've had mine for almost 8 years now. I just want to know if anyone has successfully removed and replaced it and the ipod still works. I'm a bit addicted to music so if I repair it and break it I don't think I'll be able to handle it. I have an previous gen that I stopped using due to the battery dying fast and low storage so I'm willing to test repair that one. If the audio jacks are the same that would also help. Thank you.

IPod Touch is 4 mths old (under warranty). Battery health is 100% (20 cycles completed) but backup is only 1-1.5 hour if I surf and watch videos. The service centre says since health is 100% they won't do anything. But backup is too less. What are my options?
