Things to pay attention during old IPOD repair

I gathered few basic things you need to pay attention during fixing / disassembling your own IPOD device – particularly the old version ones.

Not a major breakthrough but these are the most common failures caused by unqualified repair attempt.

Hope it will help you when trying repairing it by yourself:

1.     Disassembling the cover may result in heavy damage to your cover when using thick screw driver  since you need to pry inside the plastic cover during the cover removal process.

2.     When pulling out the battery, pay attention to hold the connector and then to unplug it – too much force or pulling the wires and one of the black / red wires will come out of their isolators.

3.     Avoid dropping the battery and damaging its structure.

4.     When pulling out the hard drive pay attention not damaging the connector – the pins are very easy to break.

5.     Again but important – avoid dropping accidentally the hard drive.

6.     When removing screws pay attention to the amount of power you press the screwdriver towards the screws – if it slips it can damage the main board.

Short list but can help the one that loves fixing things by themselves.
