(Upcoming) Ipod Video Refurb / Mod

I am in the process of acquiring parts to repair and upgrade a broken iPod I bought on eBay. Once I have all of the parts I will document my progress here.

Parts acquired so far:

  • iPod (version 5 80gb enhanced edition)
  • Replacement battery (1950mah)
  • 1 200gb SD card
  • 3 128gb SD cards
  • Replacement screen
  • Replacement front panel
  • Replacement back housing
  • Replacement headphone jack and hold switch
  • Low power Bluetooth module (4.1)

As you can see from the parts list alone, the repair is requiring everything but the logic board replacing basically. I will hopefully be also experimenting with some Bluetooth functionality but that isn't guaranteed. The main modifications will be using an iflash quad adapter (purchased here) to increase the disk space to just over half a terabyte and also increase the battery life at least threefold.
