^ incorrect they are totally interchangeable. there is no difference between a 5g 30 and a 5.5g 30gb logic board. there is however a difference between the 30 and 60/80gb versions; they have more memory onboard to handle larger drives. if however you use a 30gb logic board with a larger drive it will be a little sluggish
the main difference between the 5G and 5.5G is a brighter screen
Originally Posted by dazzer1975 /img/forum/go_quote.gif slightly off topic but is related so I will ask here: If I wanted to replace the logic board in a 5th gen 60gb ipod, with the understanding that I will be getting the 240gb drive in the near future, which logic board should I go for? The 30/60gb version for 5th gen or the 5.5 80gb version logic board? Apparently the 5th gen 60gb and the 5.5 gen 80 gig logic boards are not interchangable, so am a little confused as to the best way forward for my ipod surgery. edit: nm solved it, the 60/80 gig version is part number: 820-1975-A while the 30gb version is: 820-1763-A For anyone else doing this, then I'd suggest getting part number 820-1975-A so it has the added memory over the 30gig version and would come in useful for the database searching etc. |
