iPod FireWire Port Repair- The first and second generation iPods with the firewire port in the top of the unit have one major flaw. There is no strain relief on the firewire port attached to the mainboard. The act of just inserting and removing the firewire cable stresses the 6 connections to the mainboard every time you do it. Over time, the solder joints that keep the port connected to the iPod's board providing signal and power between your iPod and the host or charger, are broken causing a failure.
If your iPod will not charge or if your computer cannot "see" your iPod anymore and you've tried all of the normal troubleshooting steps, it is probably due to a damaged firewire port. Very rarely can this damage be seen from the outside of the unit and there's no need to give Apple $200+ for the same repair.
Let our experienced technicians put your mainboard under the microscope and make it as good as new!
