Mod Your 5G Video iPod With Internal Bluetooth

Step 2 Opening Your iPod

Note:

Before you get started, know that there is a good chance that you will completely brick your iPod if you don't know what you're doing! Make sure you are comfortable with the complete disassembly of your iPod. Don't come crying to me when you screw up and break it!

Although this is a "how to", you still need to figure out a few things on your own. If you are not comfortable with complex electronics, don't try this!

Moving on:

There are literally hundreds of DIY guides and tutorials on how to properly open up your iPod, so I won't go into it here. I will assume that if you're actually willing to do this hack to your iPod you already know or can easily figure out how to open it up. Just use a plastic tool and take your time.

Be careful, when you finally pry it open the two halves will still be connected via the battery ribbon cable. Disconnect the battery ribbon cable as shown as well as the the headphone jack cable and separate the two halves.
