9 out of 10 monkeys believe they are not behind glass

I give you a dead ipod. Dead as dead can be. No click of death, just a sad icon on the screen. Hard resets, diagnostics and disk mode resets are all futile.

So what do you do? Pay the $100 diagnostic fee, plus the $100 part replacement, plus shipping?

Hell no! You crack it and fix it your damn self. I used a putty knife… and my fingers. I found that if you stick the knife in at the corners, the case is easy to split apart from the metal backing.

And we have guts! I disconnected the hard drive, reattached the cable.

And we have life!

To bad my wife already bought me a 5th Gen black iPod. Oh darn! And it is teeeeeeeeny.

Well now I have an ipod to load linux on! Geek out!
