I did a quick teardown of my iPod Classic 4G and I didn't see any screws holding the click wheel to the faceplate, is it...

Just curious.. 30GB iPod Videos come with a logic board that has 32MB RAM and they have single platter hard drives. The...

I own a few 1st & 2nd Gens and it is pretty much impossible to update it with an SDXC or Compact Flash cards. Have tried iFlash adapter as well as the generic CF to 50-pin ATA. Don't know why it doesn't like them. As for as the Firewire port, digikey or mouser is your best bet.

There's a few places that can change out the port but they cost a lot for the repair.

It appears the 4th generation hard drives aren't compatible with the 1 and 2 gens. The 3rd gens drives are compatible and the largest is 20GB.

Tarkan iFlash-Sata is the only working one for mSATA. It's been tested that the 850 don't work well or at all, good with the 840.

I'm going to answer my own question, it's held on by adhesive, you simply push it out with your fingers hard.

No, changing the battery does not erase the content in the hard drive. I believe it's possible to retrieve photos. iPods store its content on a hidden folder.

Dock bezel are sold on eBay.

Could be the battery

Yes, go ahead and get a new drive or SD adapter.

A white screen is usually that the LCD ribbon isn't inserted or not making a good contact.

Apple has lost their mind with that soldered SSD

Yeah this has the same BCM20733 Bluetooth chip as the mouse and keyboard but yet Apple says it requires a Mac with BT 4.0?

Disposable mouse once the battery goes.

You can buy the whole connector from Chinese sellers on eBay for like 7-8 dollars.

A really, really stupid design having this type of connector that you suppose to pry up the tap to release the cable. The white plastic part of the connector is not secured to the logic board at all. So when you pry up on the brown tap u can easily lift the whole thing off. Again, dumb design Apple.

Yeah, this battery connector is extremely fragile if you pry too hard you will lift the whole connector plastic off the board. A really, really bad design from Apple having that type of connector like that. The white plastic part is not secure at all to the logic board so when you pry the tab up, you may lift the whole thing up.
