  1. So I just salvaged my pod hd 500x from a house fire. The pod was in a garbage bag so it was protected from water as it sat there fro months. Don' leave anything sit in an unoccupied house for a long period of time without a no trespassing sign anybody can go in there and take anything. So the pod looked fine from the outside and whenever I opened the inside up it looked in brand new condition. My old power chord was broken so I ordered a new one. The new one isn't working with the pod either but thankfully I had someone who knows what they're doing with electronics there with me. He got his electric test kit and we analyzed the electric signals and everything we tested worked right so far. We tested the cable an it worked too. We opened the pod even more to where we could lift the motherboard out of the case. Everything still looked fine. After opening the pod even more we exposed the solder of the female power input. The 9 volt female power input didn't intake or output any power which way it is I don't know. The female port that I plug my chord into doesn't work, so he ordered two new ones of the same size just in case if we messed one up we have the other. We do some soldering and the board may be fixed. Whenever we do it in about two weeks I wil come back to this page to give an update. Were going to be spending very little compared to how much I would buying a whole new board. Do this if you really like your pod and need to save money. We all can save money. Look up online to know how to test if electronics are working with a tester. Then what you need to do. Nearly everything is replaceable on a motherboard but the chips and the motherboard itself. This will probably void your warranty. Please be careful.
