Hi! I have a black and white iPod Classic and I recently bought the Micro SATA Cables CF to 50 Pin 1.8 IDE Adapter, a Digigear SDXCF SD SDHC SDXC to CF Type II Extreme/Ultimate Compact Flash Card Adapter, and a Samsung 64gb MicroSD to SD adapter. After assembling the whole thing together, I was sadly met with a static apple logo. I tried to go into disk mode with no success and diagnostic mode didn’t seem to do help me with anything. Am I doing something wrong?
The 4 pins on the very left of the HDD cable are not plugged in! Unplug the drive (carefully), re-align, and plug in. Make sure all pins are in! You’ll also need to reset the iPod, and reinstall the OS. Good luck!
