I'm not sure how well they'll burn in without having any load on them.. but repeat on an playlist of the kind of music you listen to should get it done. If you'd like to, try find some pink or white noise ( I think the pink noise is better, it's dispersed logarithmically which is more effective with sound, if I remember correctly and am not mistaken.) The noise gives a good smoothing out to harshness and stuff.. Also, keep in mind BGs will deteriorate in sound at some point sounding dull before truly blossoming...

thx mate, i already use that pins BUT after it finish, i test connect it to PC and pair to my nano...whenever i plug it to PC comes a pop up says "USB device not detected" or something like that...it happens all the time... what have i do wrong ?
Try to connect your nano with normal cable. If it's ok then may be you mixed up something. Could you post some pics?
What's the best way to burn in these caps? Right now I have my Nano playing on repeat and the setup is plugged into an amp that is off.
Is there an easier way to burn these in without my nano? I don't have a Cd player, but I have a laptop that I leave on all the time.
nice progress, Christine...me ? have to buy 30 AWG or more to re-bypass all inside my Nano...the battery life make me down... i really had to order new battery for it though...

I'm looking for the ultimate set up for caps, so I don't have to tinker with stuff after real school starts. I've been reading reviews on Obbligato caps from diyhifisupply and Sonicaps. Both brands have really good reviews from google and from a few headfiers and are really affordable.
BTW, I would advise against untested/generic iPod batteries. The battery I got was not the same size as the OEM one. It was thicker and had a smaller width. It's so thick that its resting uncomfortably close on some parts of the board. I say stick with OEM batteries!

That's what I'm finding. I hope people are still taking on the diyMod. Anyone who has accomplished the mod, please let us know and share pictures. The myriad of configurations will be encouragement to those who are still figuring out a way to fit caps into the iPod video. If anything, I have some spare caps with which I could perform maybe 2 free diyMod 4Gs. Anyone interested can PM me.
As for batteries, where did you get yours, Christine? I grabbed mine for cheap on eBay (and man, are they cheap), and I didn't have any problems. It's probably just you.

I got mine from ebay also. It had a shorter width than the OEM battery. If it was slightly slightly smaller I could fit the 0.47uf caps on the side of the battery. That's something to think about if you could find a battery that is not as wide as OEM.
Or someone could remove the headphone jack to fit the caps.
what have i do wrong ?
sorry for the trouble...
