820-1763-A motherboard can have 32MB RAM or 64MB RAM. The 30GB 5G iPod uses the 820-1763 board with 32MB RAM while the the 60GB 5G iPOd uses the 820-1763 motherboard with 64MB RAM. Wolfson Audio Chip is WM87588G.
The 5.5G iPods use the 820-1975-A motherboards. The 30GB 5.5G iPod uses a 820-1975 board with 32MB RAM. The 80GB iPod uses a 820-1975 board with 64MB RAM. Wolfson Audio Chip is WM87588G.
32MB and 64MB logic boards looks the same, you cant see difference before you turn on iPod and see in Settings/About what model is inside...

Hey to all you cracks,
 
I have a question:
 
Is it an absolute MUST to disconnect the battery before connecting the Tarkan adapter back to the ribbon?
Can it maybe cause "old" memory/memorizing problems?
 
Because I have found out a way how to do all that without disconencting the battery....... so the "battery to motherboard connector" won't rip off.
 
 
Bye,
JULIA

You mean with SSD or SDXC?
 
I've definitely found you can get away with it with SDXC.  I don't have ssd pod any more, but I do remember that being extremely temperamental and prone to corrupt itself with very little excuse, so it might very well not be as forgiving.  You might have to just try it and accept if it doesn't work out you might have to go through the whole reformat/restore procedure all over again. 
 
Alternatively if it red-crosses you might get away with just restoring the mbr (much quicker!)

Hello ThinWalls,
 
thanks for the fast reply.  To explain everything in a precise way:
Battery stays connected, but HDD gets disconencted - adapter with 1TB ssd gets connected.
What happened to me was:
 
Disconnected the HDD, connected the adapter. Everything worked out fine - connected it to itunes, got it restored.  Suddendly there was the RED X.
I saw the ribbon not 100% correctly attached to the adapter. I changed that. Restore went fine. did my syncing in 50GB - 80GB steps.
 
After having sync'd about 250GB of music, suddenly windows told me the drive needs to get scanned & mmh forgot the other word. I let windows do it's work - it couldn't fix it.
I decided to check if everything worked fine. Put my headphones on - no tone out of the headphones.
So, return to HDD without disconnecting the battery. Now HDD has problems as well and windows cannot fix it.
 
Got frustrated - decided to try and disconnect the battery from the motherboard, lucky me I did not ruin the motherboard.
Waited a bit. Connected the HDD again, now the HDD is running fine without trouble.
 
This time I was able to format the SSD on my laptop. For whatever reason, I saw there were 2 big partitions.  One about 150GB big, a very small one and the rest (about 775GB).
I went on with the procedure and the SSD  now formatted with FAT32. Windows offered 64KB clustersize.
Should that maybe be smaller?
 
 
Greets,
JULIA
