I don't see why you'd need to mod the Sony ones as their sd card slot should support up to 2TB?

Yeah. It's there now. Did you update the search words?

I have done a very quick search with ipod as the search word and can't see them?

Ah. That explains it. It was already the 5.5th Gen (MA446FB) then?

Hi all. I stumbled across something the other day when swapping drives around in my iPods, can you just tell me if i was dreaming? So, i had an Ipod 5th Gen (normal Apple OS with no search function) with a 30gb hard drive and i swapped it out for an 80gb drive, already formatted, from a 5.5 gen...

Could you buy a knackered ipod and pilfer the spare part?

There's definitely a knack to it, but having at least three thin metal putty knives is definitely the way to go. Make sure you get the knife in the tiny gap sideways before adjusting the angle to go in and down to avoid scratching the metal. The more ioods i open the more efficient i become...

Dude. You shouldn't be damaging things. The key is to use more than one of those thin metal opening knives (iflash sell them), know the areas to work on/avoid when opening and take your time. Then once open, just take care. Hold the battery connector down when releasing the ribbon to avoid...
