In this instance, re-connecting or replacing the hard drive cable ( thin or thick) first is a good idea. If the iPod goes from the Apple logo to the folder icon almost immediately, the cable is most likely at fault. One possible way of predicting whether the hard drive or cable is the culprit is to watch what happens when the iPod is attempting to boot. If you don't hear anything, the drive is not getting power or is very damaged and can't spin up. Any loud clicking or grinding sounds may mean that your iPod's drive is failing. If you put your iPod up to your ear, you should hear a smooth-sounding whirr of the hard drive spinning. As for generation designation should it even be considered as a 7.One of the best methods to diagnose a failing hard drive is to listen to the drive. I dont have that many ipods to test this so I do like some follow up for those who had both variants hardware and software for testing differences, ATA read speeds sound quality/display etc. they're mostly from the proper 7th gen/not 6.5 or so, but the thing is those 7th gen running the 2.0.4 firmware cannot upgrade to the 2.0.5 not those running the 2.0.5 firmware can downgrade to 2.0.4, is because there's another hardware revision(made "cheaper") and little(one) feature added.Īs for the feature of the 2.0.5 firmware is only have a toggle to disable the EU volume limitation, that does mean ipods with the 2.0.4 and designated to be sold in the EU had an overall lower volume, if the unit is sold/used outside of the EU there's no volume limiter thus should be indifferent from 2.0.5 ones with the limiter off. So somewhere I've heard some ipod classics actually had the 2.0.5 firmware, they are mostly from the late/post 2010 manufactured date.
