Not at all. They look identical, but the difference is in the fact that the 30gb ipods had I think it was 32 megs of memory on board. The 60/80 gig gen 5.5 boards had 64 megs of memory. The only way to really tell is by the color of the sticker on the board. The 5g board has a white sticker, and the 5.5g board has a yellow sticker. Vinnie verified it when he was trying to do the imod on mine. It refused to restore after he installed it. Hell, not even apple gives them different part #'s. (Apple geniuses my ass) I had to go and find out myself when the line out on my 5.5g went bad. WHOA BOY! Talk about massive head trauma. As a result, i have a logic board for a 5g ipod if you're interested. shoot me a PM.
