How to Open and Dissemble an iPod Classic Case
Today what I'm going to present is probably not the easiest or finest way of opening an iPod classic, but it works. Oh, and I will not take responsibility for damage, injuries, etc.
First, present is a little of background on the problem. If you have ever played around with any surgeries on any older iPods (replacing the iPod battery, LCD, disc drive, earphone jack, motherboard, clickwheel, etc), you’re likely pretty good with the methods of opening them. The 5th gen iPod is very close to the classic with respect to visual aspect, so you might wonder why the classic is much harder to crack open. It seems that Apple’s accounting department has taken notice of do-it-yourself kids lowering their gross profits by repairing their own troubles. Beginning with the classic, Apple has kindly expanded the functional protection of the case. In other words, they have established complicated metal tabs into the casing of the classic. These tabs pretty much deny any of the soft plastic tools that one can use to open the later cases. This is also why you do not find many how-to’s about opening classics.
Now arrives the challenging but apparent decision: there is no simple means to open the shell without damaging it. If you don’t crack it open, though, the iPod becomes a $300 paperweight. When you come to terms with this, continue reading.
There are posts and videos that talk about applying knives to pry open the iPod classic, or utilizing screwdrivers or other tools to force the casing separate. Once you get some practice, you can get them open in roughly fifteen minutes; the very first time I gave it a shot, it required an hour, and I destroyed an LCD. In my belief these operations are far too risky, because one wrong blow and the LCD cracks. Or worse, you force a blade into the motherboard. I have seen a had disk with a knife wound, not to mention infinite damaged earphone hold switch, hard disk, etc.. There’s a sounder way to get inside the iPod classic, but it will take power tools and some firm hands.
If you have a Dremel or other rotary instrument, you’re in luck. If not, go find one, because you're going to need it for something . You could in all probability use a drill with a low bit, but this one is more risky, as you could drive the bit into the innards if you break through the casing. Anyway, slap on the carbon cutting bit, some goggles, and determine a place to work.
Clinch the iPod so it cannot go anyplace, but be sure not to beat the internals or scratch the casing excessively much. Obviously the LCD is not the easiest site to clamp, unless that’s the thing you’re exchanging. Be sure your iPod’s hold switch is on; I’d propose taping it down. Slowly poke three shallow grooves with the rotary instrument at the positions of these grips. These should be only low enough so that you can see within the casing in the middle of the groove. Be certain not to go excessively deep and not to let the rotary tool run off of the iPod. You can immediately work your instruments within the shell halves. This section takes some patience also, so don’t rush it. From here, you can immediately proceed about the shell and crack it open.
When you’ve got the insides made out, smack on some tape to seal it and get yourself a silicone case and you’re all set!
