*sigh*
I've come to announce that I cannot open up the iPod touch. It's been a mystery to me ever since I got it as to how anyone could ever open it. iRepair.ca did it and put it on YouTube, but I can't figure out how they make it look so easy. I have a number of iPod pry tools, and none of them seem to be making any headway. There's a machine shop at work that I can consult regarding slipping open this iPod, so I will keep scratching my head about it. But for the time being and with my current list of tools, I can't get it open. For now, we won't be enjoying the sweet sounds of any diyMod touches. It looks like I'm going to have to stick to my diyMod 4G for sonic splendor until someone or something changes the situation with the touch.
Carry on.
