Mi Problema
My 80Gb classic's hard drive has been dying for a while. I finally decided to pick up a chinese 128Gb ZIFF SSD. Since the battery was hardly fresh I decided to go for it as well while i had it open.
I have had a 1st gen Nano in my drawer that I assumed was bricked since it went through the wash 6+ years ago and refused to turn back on after dry. I recently found out the recall was still valid and decided to send it in after messing with it a bit. I hooked it up to a power supply and realised that it still worked perfectly and it was just the battery all this time.
Mi SoluciĆ³n
Both repairs were simple beyond the annoyingly hard cases to open. No tabs broken, however the Classic's back popped off more forcefully than I expected and snapped the hold/headphone jack cable. I had to order a new one at fair expense and wait time.
Mi Consejo
The best advice I can offer is exactly what has been said by anyone else working on these and I didn't heed as wella s I should have. Work SLOW and CAREFULLY when removing the back cover. The ribbon cables get brittle over time and snap a lot easier than they should...
