Is this the end?
Two days ago I dug out my ancient iPod Mini, which I last used about a month ago.
This screen greeted me:
iPod Mini showing error screen!
After a short routine of arm-flapping and headless-chicken-running around the house, wailing “Dear God, why me!!!??”
I composed myself and went to my trusty phone to Google for solutions. All leads pointed to a RESTORE, which will wipe out everything on the iPod. Faced with no other choice, I decided to do the Restore.
Today, I finally plugged it to my office PC for the Restore attempt. After numerous attempts, the stupid folder+exclamation icon still laughed at my face. I am left with only one conclusion;
The iPod’s harddrive has died on me.
Has my lime green little friend turned into an expensive paper weight?
Then I found this:
Upgrade Your iPod Mini With Flash Memory – No More Hard Drive!
and many other similar resources.
Has anyone done the harddisk swap before and lived to tell it?
