Web News: iPod-Mini Autopsy

scapegoat · 26-February-04, 04:02 PM

Looking for a way to mod the mini-ipod? Here's how to get it apart.

Apple has crammed a lot of stuff into the anodized aluminum enclosure of the new iPod mini, and taking it apart is no easy task. I'm an industrial designer with lots of experience pulling back the curtain and meeting the wizard in PDAs, Mp3 players, stereos, watches and all sorts of other gear. I am usually pretty good at it, having not broken something in years (lots of bug hunts for tiny parts on the floor though). Except my brand-new iPod mini, where I screwed up big time... twice!

The 4GB drive that apple uses is made by Hitachi and I think the drives run around ~$500?
