i'm curious -- i see a bunch of "NOS" gen 5s on ebay from shenzhen/china.

i'm assuming these are all fake/frenkenstein/refurbs? or is there literally an endless supply of never used up ipods still sitting around in china?

all of them show still in sealed up box so you can't tell what's in there, but would it come with all the paper work, stickers, pouch, etc? anyone ever buy one of those?

Interesting, but sounds too good to be true. If it is NOS the battery might be not good anymore. But I also appreciate any comments on this.

Undoubtedly refurbs with, perhaps, fake boxes. If they can produce fake Sennheiser headphones, memory cards etc etc with all the packaging, then I'm sure they can knock out an iPod box!

So I will answer this question by myself I just received a Kingspec 32GB SSD ZIF and I can confirm that it works perfectly in an iPod Classic 7th generation 160GB slim. Cheap, painless and very effective - I'm really happy and hope it will last for many years!

Regards

It has been 4 years and I waned to follow up! The Kingspec SS has been going strong - the iPod still works great!

That’s a very good price.
I have iPods with 2 of these and 2 of 200 gb totaling 1200 gb, so yes these work

That's good news!

OF or RB? I'll be using it in a 6th gen so obviously I'll be staying with RB.

RB, OS is only possible for up to 50000 songs... mine even stopped working with 35000. Now I have about 150000 running on RB

 

[reptillikus]

Just wanted to make sure. I have a 7.5g with OF at ~34000 songs, still works ok. But my RB'ed 6th gen is the one I usually use, and she needs some more HD space! So I guess I know what I'll be doing next week!

 

[reptillikus]

Got my 400GB card in the mail, RB already installed and currently transferring music over to it

If anyone is interested, looks like the 400 GB micro SD are on sale today for $125, but the 256 are $40!

Hey guys, I have 5th gen Red Wine Audio iMod. It has an 256GB SD card and SD card adapter ,and a Tarkin CF
adapter. Thick back case cover.

Lately I feel like the battery in it has died prematurely. Few months and it's dead. I was going to buy another 850mAh replacement on Amazon ,but thought I'd reach out for other alternatives. Do I have any other options that fit reasonably without having to jam it in?

I tried the 2000mAh but never got it working because the ribbon needs to be kinked and twisted in stupid fashion. Is there anything like a 1500mAh?

Thanks for any suggestions!!
Dan

Hi Dan,
I know you've been involved in iMods for a while. Is your Tarkan adapter the newest version? The newer one's are thinner and fit the bigger batteries easier. I've got one with the 2000mah & one with the 3000mah & both fit without having to force the case closed. Also, you shouldn't have to twist the battery ribbon but you do have to fold it. I'll try to attach an image. Also, the 2000mah isn't available any more. I think you'd really like the bigger batteries. They last much longer.

well, another data point on my ipod saga and another hitting the wall.

i've downcoverted everything to 256AAC with ipod sync and got somewhere to around 39000 songs and everything was fine. i tried syncing another genre that brought me to 41000 and it crapped out again.

so i start over all over again . i

Can someone link me to a reputable seller for a battery upgrade (5.5gen thick back. Currently generic adapter, but just ordered Tarkan's)? I'm afraid to purchase from a random eBay seller and end up with something nowhere near stated capacity.

I have bought for a friend this battery upgrade 1950 mAh on aliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/195...-Video-6th-7th-Classic-HD-to/32857259691.html
Fitted in an iPod 7th with a thin back after cutting a piece of the frame, look at Tartans side.
Runtime with 50% volume U.S. FW 2.0.4 was ca. 130h with iFlash Quad.
