Add More GB to your iPod Mini

Step 2 Opening up iPod

Here is the most tricky part of this process. You have to pry open the top, and bottom white pieces of plastic off.

• Take your screwdriver, and try to put it in between the edge of the metal and the plastic
• Jiggle it a few times to get it firmly below the plastic and metal casing
• Pry up the plastic as best you can. Jiggle it some more, but it will eventually come off.
• There is a little bit of glue, so it will take a few minuted to get this process done.
• Do this to both the top and bottom white plastic pieces.

My iPod mini will not restore so I'm very interested to do this mod. I ned to know exactly what kind of flash drive I need to get. I have a second generation iPod. I have tried to reset it many times and have rebooted dozens of times.

Suggestion: Instead of a screwdriver for the prying operation, a feeler gauge (available from Sears, or automotive parts stores) tends to gouge the plastic less.
