Help Identify Part

What is this? The top of it seems to have blown off and I believe it is what has been causing my intermiteant problems with my ipod.

Looks like a crystal resonator. The missing top, if it even had one, was just a dust cover for the crystal.

You probably need to send the ipod off for board level repair by the ipod people as that is the only option for an intermittent repair like that as zero repair parts are available to outside servicers or end users.

It's designator looks to be Y-1. This would say it's a smt crystal. The lid would have had its frequency printed on it. It probably fell off due to the Ipod being dropped or stongly jarred. If you can't find the lid, maybe someone that has the same model can get you the info...Paul

I see what they did on my working ipod board.. they have 2 crystals Y1 and Y2.. the non working one has only Y1 but after looking carefully it has Y2 on the oppisite side.. I believe them to be the same but I didn't get the numbers off y2.

Okay looking at both ipods right now... Y2 appears to be the same on both of them.. They both are 32.768 (mhz I assume) but the model numbers under that are slightly different on each one KDS0243 and one KDS0160..

I'm just an ammature at this but I'd hazzard a guess that the Y1 on my working board is the same as Y1 on my non working board. So where would I find a smt crystal with the markings:

24.000 KDS 2K

Thanks, Mike

It's probably a 32.768 kHz watch crystal. These are used for real-time clocks.

24.000 MHz. You might find one on an old hard drive.
