Voltages inside the car are higher and more dangerous than inside a computer. Computers are so easy that almost anyone can be a professional computer repair person. Even every connector is different or keyed so that one cannot connect wrong things together.
There are two complex rules in computer repair. Disconnect the power cord before removing or installing anything. Touch the case before touching anything else to discharge static electricity.
How complex is an Ipod? If the Ipod is too complex, then suggestions for computer analysis posted here are also too complex. An Ipod is more difficult than the meter. Yes, that is how little some 'geek squad' techs learn to become 'experts'.
Meanwhile a power supply selling for less that $60 full retail is computer failure just waiting to happen.
