I managed to get the iMod done on one of my ipods. 47uF Elna silmic caps internally mounted on the opposite side to the battery cable, using 29AWG stranded silver cable. I covered any bare metal with Green Goo from Games Workshop (it's some kind of putty that dried rock solid) on the caps to...

Damn it... i dropped my old DIYMod ipod when I was biking home in traffic, and now I'm pretty sure the logic board is busted: It won't recognize ANY hard drive i throw in it, but luckily the 240GB drive that was in it works in one of my other 5.5g ipods I had laying about. I think it's time to...

Hey there wiring experts, after 2 days frustration with a soldering iron, and about 4 wasted ipod dock connectors, I've finally made a decent ipod LOD for the diyMod that has 2 sockets for replacing caps. I purchased about 15 pairs between the ranges of 6.3v to 10v, ranging from 4.7uf to 330uf...

The person that built the diyMod is a very reputable member of the forum, and I'd prefer not to out him/her without understanding the full story. On my end, I literally just bid on an eBay auction for a diyMod 5.5g 80gb, which came with a LOD and the description "contains 4.7uf Elna Silmic...

My apologies. I've since filled out my profile a bit more. In my original post, I edited it a few minutes after I posted, saying that I was using triple.fi's with this setup. You might have missed it? Your response about the LOD potentially being a problem had me interested though, so I...

Would you suggest that I request a return on the T3, and go for something a little more powerful, maybe? A headsix or even an ALO Rx?

Hi everyone, I'm new to all of this diyMod stuff, but I recently purchased a second hand, pre modded 5.5g off of eBay, which came with its own LOD, using Elna Silmic 4.7uf caps. I'm guessing the previous owner did it to fit the caps inside a slim connector. Currently using triple.fi's. I'm...
