If you're meticulous, the job can perfectly be done, without any of the recommended tools. I hadn't the time to order them, so I opened my iPod with the large blade of my Victorinox swiss army knife. By just following the instruction I succeeded in releasing all of the metal tabs all around the iPod, and didn't damage any of them. You can clearly hear them 'declipsing'.
I think the blade of the Victorinox is thiner than the putty knife, the only thing you have to take care of, is not to cut the black or silver painting of the front of the case, but if you are used to cut with a knife, you should succeed. Just be aware that it is however a difficult job! Thanks for a highly useful guide. Slowly and methodically, using a single-bladed, razor blade, I was able to open the case, following this procedure. Patience is, indeed, a virtue, in this case.
I was able to successfully replace the hard drive and battery. The only snag I encountered was that the headphone jack ribbon was glued to circuit board adjacent to the connector under the hard drive. (I just left this ribbon be, not wanting to risk damaging the ribbon.) It was a bit awkward straightening the case edges, but I managed. Overall, I'd give this guide a grade of 'A'.it was nearly perfect and very clear.
Well I managed to get it apart, though it wasn't all that difficult with the right tools, but getting it back together has been a nightmare. Just saying 'reverse the process' is reall not quite enough in this case. All the little pieces of shock padding keep falling off, it's almost impossible to get the two wires plugged back in as well as keeping them in place, but I got there in the end. Or so I thought.
Now my ipod has no sound (except from dock output) - and on investigating I find I have severed the orange cable near the jack itself- either by bending it or catching it on something. So another part to buy. So it's a warning to be very careful. It wasn't easy, and the results could have been prettier, but I did it.
On opening, I found my plastic tools to be useless. I ended up taking the blade of a cheap Gerber knife to the thing, being careful not to damage the rails. I found that thin grade guitar picks were a great thing to stick in the spaces! It's a good idea to take a picture of the innards once you open it. The little bumpers can be a bit tricky to reposition when you put it back together.
Also you'll want to remove the blue foam padding if possible from the old hard drive and stick it to the new one. Don't freak out when you get to the ribbons. They're tougher than they look, and they seem to know where to go.
I did have to use a pair of needlenose plyers to guide the headphone ribbon back into place. If you're a stickler for aesthetics, then pay close attention to steps 21-23.
Especially 23, or you'll have unsightly gaps along the edges. The hardest part of this project is taking it apart. Take your time.
Ipod Model Number A1136
This is great instruction. Could you please add the list of compatible hard drives. I have a need for larger hard drive and plan is to install 512GB SSD drive for my iPod Classic 160GB 7th Gen. Do you now is there some limitation in HD size in iPod? The plan is to replace original 160GB hard drive with Samsung PM851 512GB SSD drive Based on my understanding this adapter works Mini PCI-E Msata SSD to 40pin ZIF Adapter Card with Samsung PM851 512GB mSata Internal Solid state drive SSD I guess that I need also new wider back cover for iPod classic. I'm not sure how much space is needed for Msata to SSD adapter and ssd drive Any comments? The guide is very good.
Take your time and with patience and perseverance it can be done. I used a kitchen palette knife to prise open the case. I replaced the hard drive and after several attempts at fixing the hard drive cable in place given that the flimsly retainer clip broke first time on the new drive. I used a piece of paper in the slot to keep the cable connected and secure which was then curved back and taped into place to keep the pressure on. Fiddly but sucessful.
I now have my ipod up and working. Not bad for a 7 year old piece of kit which has has a few knocks and bashes on the way.
So it is worth trying! A few weeks back I saw someone selling a 160 gig Classic on LetGo for $35 and decided to get it. Got home and discovered why the price was so low, the disk could not be accessed when I tried a restore. So I ordered up some parts from Amazon, a ZIF to CF adapter board and a CF to SD adapter. Ran about $20 for the pair. I went to Harbor Freight Tools to see about a putty knife but decided to get a razor blade with handle that I found in the paint scraping aisle where the putty knives were.
Turned out this was the only tool I needed to get the clips undone while not uglifying the iPod. I pried on the edge of the back case like the instructions show using the putty knife to do, then a very small amount of persuasion by placing a small flathead screwdriver in the gap and a bit of twisting got it apart.
(cont'd) I put a 32 gig SD card in the adapter for testing, then put the adapter into the ZIF adapter and slid it in. I had a 32 gig solid state Classic to show for my efforts. I synced some music and tried playing through some headphones to see what I got, after all this was a cheapie secondhand 'Pod so had to find out if it'd work. I see that Other World Computing has a more elegant part going straight from ZIF to SD, I think I'll try that.
The slim 7th gen doesn't look like it'll hold the adapter contraption in there now. I haven't tried closing it yet since I need a bigger SD. Thank you for the guide! It is indeed very difficult, but not impossible.
I followed the directions as closely as possible. I had to use a utility knife to open it. The seam was too tight for the plastic tools.
Everything else went fine. If you use extreme care and follow the directions exactly you should be able to do this with no damage to ribbon cables.
I did, at times, feel like I was performing microsurgery.:-) All went well in the end and I once again have a working iPod classic - at a fraction of the cost of replacing it. Thanks again for the guide and for the great customer service when ordering the parts. Hi I have 2 questions. 1) I accidentally broke the (brown) connector holding the battery cable to the logic board. What is it called and how can I get a replacement? 2) I exchanged the LCD Color display between 2 ipod classic (one and A1238 80GB with broken screen and the other A1238 160GB perfect screen) the result was a blank whote screen but if i switched it back to the broken screen, I could see the apple logo n startup.
How can i solve this problem? Should i buy a new LCD Color display? Are there any difference between the parts?
