If that's all you really want, sometimes it can be more economical to just buy a brand new board.
I'm sure you know about...... "onehttps://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale catId=0&initiative_id=SB_20160909042204&SearchText=logic+boards+ipod"
They have a choice of two currently for around $60 ea. There's the three week wait of course but e-bay's like a mine field - you may strike lucky first time
but then you may buy three or four cheapos all with dud boards.
You acquire a ton of spare parts but let's face it, everyone wants the 64MB logic board ! - it's like the 'holy grail' of spare parts !
PS...Anyone like me thought this modding lark would be a one-off ? I did my first conversion 3 years ago & I can't stop ! I think I'm addicted.
My first mod on my iPod was in 2009, had to replace the screen so I could even use it. A kid in highschool pushed me into a wall and smashed my screen, bent my pod too.
Since then I've done headphone jack and battery, I didn't even realise there was a community of modders until I saw a Reddit post. I'm so excited to finally get rid of my bent front cover and dented back cover. In my mind the extended battery and flash storage are just a bonus!
