Simple Fix To iPod Madness? 120

Posted by timothy on Wednesday May 31, 2006 @07:37PM from the what-you-might-call-counterintuitive dept.

doce writes "After chunking my seemingly dead iPod off my balcony while reviewing a rubberized case, the darned thing started working again, though not quite perfectly. After taking it apart, I managed to fix it properly just by reseating the hard drive cable. Could this be the cause of all the click-of-death "sad iPod" failures users are seeing?"
