Official Ipod Video / Classic 5g+5.5g+6g+6.5g+7g SSD Mod thread

Is it true that iPod 5th gen 30GB have 7500 songs limit in 1.3 firmware?

I'm curious as to if anyone has actually tried it with Tarkan's adapter yet.  I don't plan on getting the 2000 mAh myself as I've contacted the seller and he will not to ship to Canada anyway.

 


Perhaps I was not clear in my post. I am using the Tarkan bundle with the 2000 mAh battery in a 7G with the 6G thick back plate with no problems so far. I will note that taking a closer look at it now the back plate curves a bit around the area where the thickest part of the adapter contacts the battery, and the junction of the front and back plates is not flush in that area either. So, if that is an issue for you then I can't recommend it.

Good to know.  Thanks.

"A 32MB motherboard will recognize a 240 GB hard drive under Software 1.3 but will run out of memory at around 7,500 songs. After that you can't load any more songs even though there will plenty of hard drive space left over. So anything beyound about 120GB is wasted with a 30GB 32MB motherboard Gen 5.0 or 5.5."

Note sure if just recently they added this 850mAh for the thin classic 160gb model. I will confirm with them and report back.
 

 

  Damn I guess I should just put together my 256GB 7.5G
 
 
 

 
Received email confirmation from Milliamp that the 850mAh thin battery with Milliamp label is not available.

Thanks and how can I differentiate the two boards? Any part numbers or model number? I'm looking to buy one on aliexpress.com so I prefer to know in advance.

yes Mikey , iFixit is wrong, I tied to put Tarkans adapter with PNY 256GB in old 30GB 5th gen iPod (2005.) and everything works fine, I cant see any problem with over 11000 songs...

I was able to load 28730 songs on my upgraded 30gb 5.5 Video. But when I got to 32161 songs, it corrupted. So the song limit is right around 30000. I bought an 80gb 5.5 to upgrade instead and got 45000 songs on it successfully before I ran out of space.

Received this 600 mAh NuPower battery today for the Mini, so I thought why not diymod this babe too. It's much simpler to diymod the mini than diymod the video. Just my eyes have difficulty these days focusing on the tiny things.
 
Checked everything OK before closing the case. Plugged it into my amp, What it sounded crap. It sounded just fine before I closed the case. It turned out that the 3.5mm plug of the lod cable was not all the way into the amp. LOL.
 
Now it sounds awesome, and no more roll offs. 
 

 

 
Removed 4 caps for soldering wires.

Hi dr408517,
 
What model of clearcase do you use? Where can I find this (on Ebay as I am french) ?
I tested many cheap clearcases but for many, dock port access is not as expected (not easy) for my Pure i-20 dock/DAC
On yours, it seams the access to the dock is very easy
 
Thank you

I would say yes to the combination of those five items working well together, as I have all those parts and they fit well together.
 
It's been answered for me before by DMinor a fair number of pages back on this thread now about the 2000 mAh battery fitting in an iPod with the Tarkan adapter:

Ok. Thanks for the input mate.
 
I think 850 will be enough juice as it has been for an hard disk version.
