I have bought a black backplate and it looks awesome, believe me. It´s not shiny at all, it´s more... satin. But your work looks pretty good too.
I decided to try and paint the back of the iPod myself with a mat black paint (an alkyd based aerosol I picked up at the local store). I first filed it with a cubic nail file and cleaned it with some aceton before applying the paint. I am quite happy with the result but of course it means that I don't have the apple logo anymore. Does anybody know if it's possible to find a design file for those? Then I might try to laser the logo and text back in.
That's why I want my initials instead of the capacity. And since my initials are four letters I think it's a nice way to personalize my iPod. Personally I'd much prefer the Apple logo to the Rockbox one but without any engraving it's also looking sleek.Looks great. Personally I'd rather _not_ have the logo! It's _my_ ipod, not Apple's! (Heh, though I'd be OK with a Rockbox logo instead!)
I'd also rather not have the capacity on it - it bugs me that the black 256gb back I got is now wrong because I've since upgraded that ipod to 512gb! A blank back is more future-proof. Plus, you know, its, er, 'stealthy'.
Hi guys,
Sorry for my poor English.
I have iPod Classic 6th (orginal 80GB thin version). I buy replace disk - SSD Plextor 128GB mSATA and green adapter to ZIF.
And... iPod after replace, show me "Red X in Circle". iPod in "Diagnostic Mode" work fine, detects the SSD and information (S/N, Firmware Version), in "Disk Mode" iTunes detect SSD on correct, I can add music. Everything looks good. How I restore my iPod and get out of disk mode, show me "Red X".
Any ideas?
OWC in Chicago does resell the iFlash Bundle, however I don't see any of Tarkan's other newer products/models as available through them.
They've even got a pretty good instructional video for the install.
Hi
Just got a good condition 5th gen ipod video in. Got the tarkan sdxc adapter and sdxc card ready to go. If I just want to replace the old battery with a new one can I still use the thin back or do I need a thick back as well?
Thanks
That depends on the battery capacity. If you want to keep the thin back you have to get a 650mAh battery. The higher capacities are all for iPods with a thicker back. The 850mAh are the ones Apple used with the thick drives. Since a tarkan adapter has a slim profile you can actually combine an even higher capacity battery (1900mAh - 2000mAh) with a thick back cover.
