Hello,

My iPod has been dead for a few weeks now and no matter how much I charge it it wont turn on anymore. And since my home screen button is also messed up I can't turn it on by pressing both buttons either. As a side note I have over 8,400 pics in my iPod and if anything happens to it I can kiss everything goodbye. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Please help me fix my iPod without having to erase my data or anything like that.

depending on the iPod model you might be able to remove the hard drive and install it in a USB adapter.

Good Luck

It's a first generation iPod. How do I remove the hard drive and where is it for starters?

you will need to disassemble the case - that needs a special Torx screwdriver. I suggest you check an iPad site for instructions.

Good Luck
