Hello, im trying to make imod, but i am a bit confused of one note from admin
» page two
"It is no longer recommended to desolder anything from the iPod logic board. Desoldering these components makes for a much weaker connection, but soldering the wires to their pads while they’re still on the board makes for a much stronger connection with a lower chance of ruining the expensive-to-replace logic board."
basic outline of the mod
1. Open the iPod
2. Desolder the capacitors near the DAC.
3. Desolder the inductors by the dock connector.
4. Route a wire.
5. Close the iPod.
6. Create the dock connector with capacitors.
So it means that i can skip second and third step? So i will only open my ipod, route a wire and close the ipod, am i right or not?
Thank you
