How do I repair a broken hold/lock switch?
I have opened the iPod and went as far as taking off my battery to get a better view of the hold switch. i didn't see anything that caught my eye the orange cables were fine.I have heard of a tin foil method but i have no clue to put tin foil. Is there a way to find whats wrong with it and repair it?
Or is there anyway where i can just unlock and leave the broken switch (it will be broken but i still get to listen to my songs)
The other day it unlocked by itself when i was pressing buttons then after 30 seconds or a minute it locked it self again
Es esta una buena pregunta?

I've tried opening my 5th gen ipod, fiddling with the orange cable, cleaning the connection point of the little orange square, I've tried everything I can think of except open up the hold button mechanism, which I just can't quite open.
I know my ipod works because it syncs up fine, it's got music on it, but because the hold button is stuck, it's inoperable. This is incredibly frustrating!

By following the corresponding guide and buying the parts, I now have a working ipod again! While i was at it, I changed the battery and clickwheel too. Looks and works great, I'm super happy I tried to repair it myself.
