Fixed my beloved iPod Classic

Mein Problem

My iPod Classic was more than just a music machine... my wife gave it to me as a one year anniversary present, complete with custom engraving. When it stopped working six months ago, I was extremely sad :( While dragging my feet and contemplating getting a new one, Apple decided to cancel the Classic completely! With prices now in the $500's or more on eBay, I decided it was time to try and repair it myself.

Meine Reparatur

The repair went amazingly smooth. It took about an hour, as I replaced both the hard drive AND the battery. The repair guide was somewhat helpful, but I found that I was able to use my own methods to dismantle the iPod, and it was not nearly as difficult as the guide made it seem.

Mein Rat

Repairing my device makes it feel even closer to me than it did before. Don't drag your feet, get it done! You'll be happier for it!
