Chosen Solution
When changing out to a new battery I have misplaced or lost my grounding strap. Is there a substitute I could use to ground the battery? If not, is there someplace I can purchase one. Will the Ipod function without it?
iPod Nano 1st Generation Battery & Logic Board Replacement Found small braided copper line….will try and use it for the same purpose.
mlagerton,the connector is needed in order complete the circuit path for the iPod. So if anything, I would try to see if you can either find the one you lost, or try to pick one up on ebay or even a broken ipod on craigslist or the local pawnshop. Good Luck
I am in the same boat on an old nano I brought back from the dead. So does it ground from the back of the click wheel to the back of the case? The photos on line are not clear. The best photo seems to show a thicker silver pad attached on the board end and then taped to the back of the click wheel. I suspect this is why my wheel is not responding.(I tried 2 wheels and neither worked, so I suspect this missing strap at the moment.) Thanks Joe
not sure if this helps but i just brought a new headphone jack it it comes with the grounding strap, and it only costs under £5 cheers Craig
