Low Static Through Headphones
Hello,
I have a 30 Gb iPod Video 5th Gen.
I get a low amount of static through the headphones when the unit is on. I am using relatively high quality headphones (RBH EP3). I have tried other headphones and the result is the same.
I was upgrading the memory of my wife’s iPod to 780 Gb using the iFlash Quad SD adapter. The unit is in outstanding shape as she didn’t use it much.
I also replaced the battery as it was weak (but pretty good for 14 year old device).
While testing using some classical music, with lots rests (silence between notes) I noticed the static and found it irritating.
Is there a way to fix this? Is this part of some of these iPods? I had another 30 Gb iPod 5th gen (stolen long ago) and I don’t remember this issue. I used decent quality headphones on those as well.
I have reconnected the headphone ribbon to the logic board and reconnected both the original HDD (for tests) and the iFlash adapter.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
