get winrar and extract them to somewhere. You can try comparison among iMod lineout (I recorded it from its lineout to PC)

I like thin solder too.. even if I have to feed an inch of it to do some heavy spots :P are you doing the alternate pin mod? cause otherwise, you don't really need a super fine tip. in fact, I've done everything with my equivalent to a ratshack iron.. albeit, I melted my nanos clickwheel ribbon plug, but the mini mod went flawlessly. I've built a more than 2 hands full of amps and a few alien dacs with the darned iron. I'm looking to find a 240v hakko, but it looks like I'll take what I found, the cheaper imitation of it...

I don't know about alternate pin mod?

I have a 4G photo, and in this guide there are only 2 pics of it I think.

I'm trying to do the mod going to the headphone out jack, not the LOD, though I guess I could, but there's not much on the 4G photo in here.

I'm also doing the BG cap mod too, those are sitting around here somewhere (I've got 6 of them lying around).

Here's a link to my post with pics
The Apple diyMod: My Take on the Famous iMod [56k killer] Featuring 3G, 4G, 5G and nano 1G!

Suprisingly, I forgot I took off those resistors, and I found that the phone out jack is still working just fine minus those resistors, so those must be for the LOD.

Hey BrinNutz,

You're right about the deficiency in information about the photo. Not as many people have done the diyMod 4G photo and/or reported about it, so we only have as much as you see. In any case, the dock inductors are the same between the photo and click wheel (monochrome), so you can refer to those pictures. As for the headphone out jack, you're going to have to cut the traces leading from the Wolfson to the HP jack's ribbon cable connector. I can't be sure which traces to cut, but you can follow the same idea as Figure B.D (and maybe report on that too ). The Wolfson pins are the same since they're the same model, so look for which pin on the ribbon connector leads us to the headphone jack signal. Let us know how the mod goes and if I need to clarify anything I just said. =T

It may just be easier to do the LOD mod with the caps, so I don't have to run wire all the way back to the top...

Dangit, now I need an LOD cable.

But I do find it odd that the iPod still works with HP jack when those resistors are removed. The other set of resistors must be for the HP jack methinks?

Yeah, those are the line out's filter resistors. The DAC has multiple outputs, so taking the signal from those resistor pads shouldn't affect the headphone signal.

Which ones were you talking about?

See the pair under where I took the set off already? I think those might be for the HP jack no?

Thanks ruZZ.il & jon...

Actually iQEM has done the internal wiring of his iPod. His LOD is the only problem. We both use the same dock connector. It's hard to built because actually it's a charger for iPod (4 pins only), modified to act as line-out dock connector. The pins is so tiny and fragile, bend it too much and it will break.

iQEM already test his iPod diyMod with ALO's iMod dock connector, it worked.

yeah, my mod work though...last week i had a chance to compare it to Gmod (my friend owned it) using ALO supercotton to Corda2MOVE + same cans...me & him pretty sure that the different's there (separation & bass) but the diff come from my nano 1st GEN 2gb, that only use 192kbps source (the real Gmod using lossless)... hooray !!!
