IPOD modding (1g/512)

Key features

The build

the original battey in my 1gb ipod killed the foxconn ribbon cabling for the usb connection, so i bought a 512 removed the 512 chip and puit the 1 gb chip in it.

High power digital sound, USB 2.0 (1.1 compatible)
1 GB flash memory, 3.8 V PSU 10 W

Performed mods

removed casing without destroying it(in your face namslas :) )added solar paneling for charging.

Try taking pics with Macro Mode on.
Usually has a pic of a Flower, rather than a Mountain range on the focus setting.
Sounds interesting from what has been written, but those pics mean nothing, and the text is a bit vauge as i and possibly others would turn to the pics to gain a full understanding of the mod.

Kind of on the subject tho, I recently made use of my nackered Creative Zen Touch 20GB mp3 player.

Dismantled it, and removed the hard drive which I placed in a USB external case.
Formatted it with the NTFS format rather than its own and I now have a large but very small portable storage device.
