iPod click o'death free fix

If you've got a fourth-gen iPod that's been laid low by the dreaded hard-disk click of death, you might end up wanting to say a thank-you to JC over at mac geekery. He's come up with a possible free cure, though only after lobbing his iPod from a third-floor window! Fortunately multi-storey drop-tests aren't part of his recommended fix.

Find out all about the possible cure in this HEXUS.headline, then tell us your thoughts and about your best fix-it stories and favourite take-apart manual sites.

And this has, what to do with the article and this thread?

Bob (who's lost more IBM HDDs to the click of death than he would have ever believed possible - none of them curable by jiggling with power connectors!)

the part of plug that came out was probably the power side of the connector rather than the data side
