Mod Your 5G Video iPod With Internal Bluetooth

Step 4 Disassembly

Note: If you want to add a status LED to your project, you will have to continue to completely disassemble your iPod.

Remove the six screws holding the plastic front panel from the metal frame and pull apart.

Remove the logic board from the frame. Be careful with all the sticky tape and be extra careful removing the ground "strap" that wraps around the top of the frame.

Pick a spot along the center rail of the frame and drill a hole just large enough for your 3mm LED. It will hep to use a center punch and a high-speed drill with a sharp bit to do this.

Yes, this will cause your CF assembly to stick up but there should still be enough room in the case. If you kept your HD, then good luck...
