Ramblingman, that pin is too close to "next button". I think if you solder a wire there, the thickness of the wire will make a problem when pushing that button.
Thanks for the tips and concern guys, the wire im using is 30 AWG silver plated Kynar wire so its really thin and i think i might get away with connecting so close to the button. Ill test before i close it up completely.
Im just not sure where else i could hook up a ground?
Also where is the best place to disconnect the signal to the headphone jack? Wouldnt this be done when the "Z" caps or whatever they are are removed?
Ill hopefully get some time tonight to solder it up and ill post pics when i get it finished and together.
The caps im going to probably use are 5.6uF 250VDC Metallised Polypropylene caps but i also have some 22uF electrolytic caps to try but no black gates at the moment, they are taking their time to arrive!
Since you're not using the headphone jack for the line out, you won't need to cut its signal. There are some coupling caps right near the HPJ ribbon cable which would cut the signal if removed, but you don't need to do that.

Hi ntrl, welcome to head-fi. Sorry about your wallet.
I don't know of any cards not mixing well with the iPod 4Gs, but I have heard that A-Data works with the iPod minis. I don't know what the issue would be, but check out the thread, My 32GB Flash IPod Mini. ruZZ.il had a Sandisk Extreme III that didn't work in his iPod mini 1G IIRC, but I haven't seen a compatibility chart laying out cards and iPod models anywhere.
edit: Never mind, it seems you've already checked that thread. In that case, I can't really help you. =I

Well, I just picked up a 2nd gen iPod Mini for a CF mod and another diyMod, any more helpful info it? First page with one photo looks very thin on the info
Sounds good, Ramblingman (at least I hope it does ).
What kind of info were you looking for, Fallen? I don't actually know if C53/C54 is L/R, so you're going to have to do some trekking. Open her up, remove the LCD screen to find the silkscreen labels for the dock inductors, desolder the usual culprits, then solder a very short wire from here to there. I think it's fairly straightforward, but a clever guy such as yourself could figure something out if it doesn't work out. ruZZ.il did the mini 1G if you need any more insight.
Looks like the mini is making a comeback. I guess Apple was wrong about the nano after all.

4GB nanos have the flash on a separate daughter card, like you see in the photo. I'm thinking you could take another 4GB flash, solder it onto the empty slot and try for an 8GB nano. Someone can try it.
oh, it can be done ? well, maybe later...now my ipod (headphone out) a lil' bit strange, if i lower the volume to 50% and more, the sound moved ALL to left channel...but it come back to stereo if i turn up the volume to 70% to max...what's wrong with this ipod of mine ?!
and sounds great!
