My iPod will not restore it goes through the whole process looks like it's done. Then a pop-up says there was an error....

I have been fixing iPods for my own kids and their friends. I am able to fix most of them, but some just have me stumped....

I have an iPod Touch 4th generation 32gb. It is zooming in and out erratically without me touching it. This behavior is...

Use a heat gun to melt the solder and the old connector will Almost fall right off the board. Just tap it with a screwdriver when it starts to come loose. Before this, of course, remove the board from the iPod So you don't melt everything on the board.

I once had this happen and it was just because the battery was so low it didn't have enough power to turn on the camera but that may not be your problem.

Actually there's a very simple way to remove the old connector you using A heat gun. You can pick one up for about 25 or 30 bucks at a hardware store. Disassemble your motherboard from the rest of the iPod put it in a clamp and use the heat gun on that connector back and forth on the metal parts in the connector. When it gets hot enough, the solder will melt and the connector will kind of droop. When it does that, Tap lightly with a screwdriver and it'll fall right out.

I had a similar thing happened. The solution for mine was to reattach the digitizer connector in the iPod. The digitizer connector is the one under the motherboard not the one on top of the motherboard.
