What are the most common caps to use with DIYmod ?

It seems to make more of a headache and unnecessary risk of logic board bricking when desoldering those components. I'm thinking now that just about every diyMod should just short the components while leaving them on the board; the same would apply to your mini 1G. Depending on the wire, you could short the capacitors and inductors and just use the regular old pins 3 and 4 for audio output. ruZZ.il did this on his nano, but I wouldn't do it myself. You lose the versatility of switching in other LODs, say at a meet, and you'd have to go through the trouble of soldering to those itty bitty pins. Of course, do what you like since it's your diyMod. |

I'm assuming I will lose audio thru the headphone jack when doing this. Any pics or posts that would aid me in locating these components to remove and bypass, thanks. |
