7th gen (slim) 160 gb ipod classic. About a month ago, I started having issues with the original hard drive in my ipod. Connecting the ipod would cause itunes to freeze and same goes if I tried viewing the drive through windows explorer. Diagnostic numbers showed the hard drive being faulty.
Anyway, I purchased a refurbished hard drive on amazon a couple weeks ago and have had the issue of random skipping of songs ever since installing the new drive. There was no consistency to when it would happen. Sometimes, it would skip numerous songs before playing another although if I were to hit the back button it would play whatever song was displayed at the time. The issue has become consistently worse with time.
I formatted the drive and then restored with itunes. For a few hours, everything seemed normal then the skipping started happening again. Most recently, I used my ipod this way for 5 days until the battery died because I had forgotten to charge it. I had about 2000 songs on the ipod. After charging the battery and turning on the ipod, the songs are not being detected but the hard drive still shows the space being taken up. This also happened once before and restoring the ipod made the songs show up once again.
I'm wondering if I just wound up purchasing a bad hard drive (diagnostic numbers seemed fine when I ran it) or if the logic board is failing, or possibly both.
