Ipod magic

[nathanielstyza]

so, i have an old 40 gig ipod but it has been broken for a number of months. my room mate offered to take it apart to see if he could fix it but i declined because i just thought i would take it to apple eventually.today i decided that i didnt want to deal with apple so i just let him take it apart. the ipod was old so i wasnt really attached to it.
so he took it apart, unplugged shit and plugged it back in, and here's the zinger:he folded up a pokemon card (it was a wartortal, although a index card would have worked) and placed it inside the ipod.so i plugged it in to my charger and let it sit for about 5 minutes. low and behold, my ipod is now charging and working beautifully.
anyone with a similar experience?discuss...

haha whaat? Pokemon to the rescue? That's really sweet that that worked for ya, but I have never heard of that before.

 

[slevin_kelevra]

ive got a 30 gb video that doesnt work. You think this might work?

im calling shenanigans, everyone know that a water pokemons weakness is electricity.

 

[assface]

if its the hard drive, find sombody with a video with a cracked screen and buy it from them for cheap, then look up how to take it apart on the internet, i did this and mine works now, just replace the hard drive

 

[SteezeBandit]

this wont work unless its a wartortle

wartortal go!

 

[Captain-T]

I choose you, wartortal!!!!!!

 

[ElbridgeGerry]

Would it short out the iPod if I used Raichu?

 

[nathanielstyza]

i say go for it. i believe that all he did was unplug the hard drive and then insert the card.more specifically the card went in the very back (so opposite of the screen).whats the worst thing that can happen? youll have to take the car out.
he did say that it probably wouldnt work forever, but im stoked to have my ipod back.

 

[Smuffy]

yeah find out what the card did. im really confused on how this works.

 

[bryanw]

silly wartortal what are you doing fixing ipods

 

[GratefulDead]

haha.

 

[OhMyBosh]

I think its spelled "Wartortle"

 

[mr.rise]

So what would happen if you took a Charizard?????

 

[GratefulDead]

who would ruin a charizard?

 

[mr.rise]

if its a non glitter one its not worth that much.

 

[Mr_Papageorgio]

NOW take it to the apple store and have them try to fix it

 

[Smuffy]

be like, dude, i found this pokemon card in my ipod. something is seriously messed up.

 

[Aaaron.]

a RED GYRADOS.

 

[tBatt]

I heard if you get the unhappy ipod thing if you drop it straight on the end where the cable plugs in it can fix it.

 

[Smuffy]

that sounds really sketchy...

[D-Rex]

can you use blastoise since it is the more evolved and mature pokemon therefore i believe it will do a better job.
