I notice there's stuff for the first gen Mini, but not the second gen? I've got a second gen that I'll be opening up to replace the battery and convert it to a 16GB flash player, and wondered if I might give this a try while I'm at it.

We haven't had anyone try and/or report on the mini 2G, so there isn't much information on it here. There seems to be even less on the internet. If you could be so kind as to take very explicit photos inside your mini 2G, we'd all appreciate it.

While searching for a close up mini 2G logic board photo, I stumbled on these websites for iPod parts.

Fix My iPod :: iPod - Select iPod Model
iDemiGods.com - Your one stop shop for ipod parts, repair and more!!!

I have a feeling there are a million of this kind of site. iDemiGods seems pretty good, but the other seems somewhat expensive.

Which list are you referring to, BrinNutz?

Here are the images of the mini 1G. It's kind of a struggle figuring out which one is left and which is right, but I can find out later. Of the top row of inductors within the silkscreen, the second from the left is the right channel, and the third from the left is the left channel.

joneeboi, are you sure that isn't a second gen above? the caps layout looks like those I saw in a second gen take apart I've seen.
Here is half of my mod on a first gen mini:



The other end of the leads go to the same pins 14 and 17 so I can at least use the dock cable I made for my nano needless to say, I've done much neater work on them pins this time, but the space to work with is another story too. I'll snap some shots next time I crack 'er open. meanwhile, sounding good!

Next, need to get myself some batteries and compact flash cards..

Note:

It looks like the nice little blackgates would fit perfectly snug just next to the clickwheel lock switch. My next mini mod will be putting them there, re-routing the wire back to the normal line out dock pins..

To be honest, the original method of removing the caps and other in-line components and bypassing the signal as instructed in the original post is a MUCH easier mod than the one I briefly pulled off on the nano, and even successfully on the mini. Enough so that in my original post I decided to suggest against it so that only those daring enough to venture out alone would do it, without any guarantee. Needless to say, some very delicate soldering has to be done to those tiny pins, and the nano doesnt give you much space to do it in. Therefor, I stick to my original suggestion and leave it up to the skillful and daring, and believe that I've already posted enough information for anyone who fits the profile to go through and see both how to do it, and generally what to avoid doing in that area. I hope you don't mind me not encouraging this method, I just don't think that its one that everyone should try, and those that will, do so at their own risk and pace.
I will still say that if pulled off right, the method works well.
My mini mod is working perfectly (for all mini modders: that HD molex cable is delicate, thats all I have to say )
