You know what they say, it costs $1 to tap the furnace and $19 to know where to tap.

but not everyone wants to risk a 350$ ipod and prefers to pay 200$ for the guarantee that the modification will work flawlessly for a long time.

If you never did DIY at least several simple projects I would suggest just enjoy it as is.
If you do can hold the iron and just need some clear instruction be prepared to buy few more nanos before you achieve result.

The problem is that the pads of the PCB unbelievable fragile and will break off as soon as you try to move or bend the wire! I know because I was there and not ones before found solution.


Also if the 1st gen nano doesn't support lossless format you won’t get that "big jump" in SQ as you get with 4gen ipod.

edit: it actually support apple lossless!

Yes I've lifted pads in the past (yuk!). Now as soon as I'm sure the wires are soldered well I hit 'em with a dab of hot glue to try to tack them down & keep them from moving. Not sure there's much room for that in an iPod tho.

I can tell you what to do from the board picture I see and then you need to improvise to get the job done or just wait few days when I got mine and then I will provide tutorials with pics !

I do both a bit latter!

VVs, that sounds fine. I have a 1st gen nano, and if you look at the link of the nano he posted, tell me from that board...the rest i can figure out(like the circuit with caps and resistors, and soldering to the phones port,ect)
