Unfortunately, i rendered the device (classic 80 GB with metal front frame) useless because I messed up in opening it to replace the battery (sad crying face). Can I salvage the parts to build a new one from ground up? The logic board does not seem to be damaged. If I buy the housing/frame etc for a 30 GB 5th generation iPod, will I be able to use it? Sam.
It’s sad that you messed up the ipod video There’s no thin version ipod video both 60gb and 80gb are thick ones If it’s a metal front you are talking about Ipod Classic 6th gen/7th gen. You can get entire housing and the battery from aliexpress/ebay Just search the serial number/model number online to get the right model details
