One you pry the tool into the device you will then want to pry out allowing the metal case to unhook from the front. You will want to push the tool in between the face of the device and the backplate with the pointed end pointing outward. This step in the process can be done in a variety of ways and I highly recommend watching a video if you feel unsure. Most guides will recommend a metal pry tool as seen below but the blue plastic pry tool worked fine for me and are commonly found in teardown kits available online. There are ten latches you have to unhook and this can be done with any tool that can reach down and pry up without damaging the internals. The iPod itself can feel a little daunting to open given the lack of screws. the larger battery combined with lower power consumption SD card should grant a significant increase in battery life. Regardless, this is a large upgrade over the 850 mAh stock battery that we will be replacing. There are a number of these floating around eBay so I would imagine that 3000 mAh number is exaggerated. Our new battery allegedly contains 3000 mAh. I can’t speak for macOS but I’d imagine disk utility would be similarly effective. There are a number of ways to do this but if you have a Windows machine cleaning the disk with disk utility through CMD is a commonly used method. Important note, if you’re following along at home I recommend formatting your SD card in FAT32. the iFlash Solo is available at iflash.xyz and is an adapter specifically designed for our purposes, granted at a higher price. The downside to this method is that finding a compatible adapter can be hit or miss. There are a number of ZIF to CF adapters which allows for the insertion of an SD card. The original hard drive uses a ZIF connector. This is a common issue that can be circumvented by Rockbox, but custom operating systems carry their own issues.Īs stated above, we’ll be replacing the storage and the battery. The 60 GB iPod Video contains 64 MB of RAM and will allow the iTunes database to utilize up to 256 GB of flash storage. The size is pretty ideal, but it still uses the classic monochrome LCD and the colossal 32 MB of ram means you can realistically only utilize 128 GB of flash storage. I did a project similar to this back in 2017 on an iPod Mini.
