Yep, I was under the impression that we were suppose to de-solder the resistors 
anyway DONT do it, it just screws things up.
luckily someone offered to send me another headphone jack 
unfortunately Ill be away till march 
To all: how did you guys fit the BG caps inside a 4th gen ipod? (like what RWA does?) I can't get it to close at all
cheers

i didnt mod the G4's sicne it belonged to my dad :P but it did look like there was enough room near the bottem to put the caps there.
I believe you've already seen this: post46 it apears that the caps are double-sided taped down.
or maybe Vinn's just simply awesome and can make a cap fit anywhere he wants

 I'm afraid undergrads don't dare laugh at me... well at least to my face. I shouldn't bring the touch, because I end up getting emails that there are responses to this thread. Most of the time I end up getting more ideas about potential mods
Oh by the way, e-speakers.com has a great deal on Clarity Caps. ~$13.5/pair for 4.7uf caps with free shipping within the US. Assuming they are comparable at all to the BGs, I should have ordered these instead and saved a lot of $$.

Hey, the best way to have a good idea is to have lots of ideas, right? Show some cojones and bring your touch to school!
limathy:
What you could do is perform the mod on your nano while you wait for the BGs since all that's required is some careful soldering of thin wires and removing some small elements. In the mean time, you could use some nonBG caps to pair with your diyMod nano 1G and compare them with the BGs when they do arrive.

Haha! Thats funny. The zune mod would be great though. I have a warranty from best buy on my 1G zune, so I took it apart to tinker...all looks good to mod. And if anything goes wrong I can take it back for warranty I know, thats dirty

Too bad I didn't see your request prior to my order from sonicraft, I would have tacked on a couple more BGs (it does list Int'l shipping there).
Maybe someone yet to order could order an extra pair or two & fire them over to you for cost + shipping (maybe a WTB post in Components would help?)
I was considering back-to-back tants because they a very small & very available. But they are apparently not ideal for this use although I'm not sure how inferior they'd be to BGs for this purpose.
Good luck.

Cap
Well any cap with the same value should do the work
it only cost cents
47uf 6.3 V easily avaliable i guess not necessary to use black Gate
Correct me if i am wrong
