Grandpa to the Rescue....

So my grand-dotter drops her ipod.  It's actually the one thing she has taken care of for an amazing 3 years.  The hold button gets stuck and it locks the device up.

Banging it on a table didn't help (Hey, I'm a guy - try percussive repair first), so I took it apart and reconnected all the little bits that had become separated when she dropped it.  I didn't even know you could take them apart - but it was coming apart whether or not it wanted to anyway.

I notice that I am a hero.  For the moment.
