iPod video (5th generation) Hard Drive and Flash Upgrade

The hard drive in an iPod video (5th generation) wears out, causing clicking, freezing or the sad iPod icon. We replace it, often with solid-state flash storage that's faster, lighter and longer-lasting.

Signs your iPod video (5th generation) needs this repair

  • Clicking sounds
  • Sad iPod icon or folder with an exclamation mark
  • Freezes or restarts
  • Music missing or won't sync
  • Takes a long time to load
  • Not recognised by the computer

How we fix it

We replace the old hard drive with a new drive or a flash storage adapter and memory card.

We restore the software and test syncing, so it's ready for your music.

How long it takes

Storage upgrades are usually done within one to two working days.

Good to know: Flash storage has no moving parts, so it survives drops far better than the original hard drive.

Questions

Can you save the music on the old drive?

Often, if the drive still reads. Ask us when you book.

How much can I fit?

Much more than the original, depending on the upgrade you choose.
