A few tips, carefully removing ribbon cable from battery post. The post can be pulled off motherboard, that is a common problem due to heat and age. You can get replacement posts cheap. Also remove input output cable first before disassembling cover from frame just so much easier. The click wheel and centre button, use painters tape to keep button in place for removal & installation of click wheel.

@@joseoscargonzalez7078 160 is the biggest hdd you would have to do a flash mod. Elite obsolete has great selection and you can buy from him. The iPod openers and everything. You can get the flash mod adapter from him etc. then you just need a micro sd card if any size up to 1tb but this is very important. The iPod cannot have more than 50.000 songs on it or it will crash.

@EdwardsWorkshop
4 жыл бұрын
Hey there, Both shells (back panels) have specific components it can house. Essentially, the thick shell was created because of the bigger hard drive variants. If you're going to use an iflash + non upgraded battery (same as the one shown in the video) the thin shell will be fine, but if you're going to upgrade your battery with a larger capacity one, you should get the thick shell.

No thanks, I prefer the old scool with no WiFi or Bluetooth. I hate having notifications and distractions while I’m jamming. These iPods worked very well because they did what they did the best. If Apple releases a 20th Anniversary, I’d definitely get it. More storage, ssd, same form factor hell remove video playback, just us and our music library with no notifications and distractions. And it would be cool to instead the shiny stainless steel look or chrome the material that the iPhone 5 had. No glass. Or the same material of the iPod touch 7the gen!!

Hey there, screwing the ribbon cable (lock switch) to the rear housing can be quite difficult if the screw is even slightly stripped. Try to replace the screw with a similar sized screw or use a crosshead screwdriver that is better than the default one which comes with the parts. If it still doesn't work please let me know.

Yeah, it's just that the company makes these choices because the majority of people don't care about these features, and many consumers aren't aware of audio theory like compressed music, etc. Firms are profit driven so its likely that they implement flashy features such as better, larger displays and such to attract more customers.
