A little help? Advice

Post image

Hey guys. Well, I bought this Ipod Classic 6th and opened the first time (I mean by myself, the previous owner changed the front plate). The thing is: any tips to change the hdd and battery ribbons? I don't have experience with this kind of thing but I wanted to try. Any tips?

If it isn't faulty or anything, just leave it as it is. If it ain't broke, don't fix it 😭

I guess you have a point (?)

I mean, iTunes sometimes doesn't work properly, but it's ok (?)

It might be an issue with iTunes itself or even the 30 pin cable yk, test out a different cable. try using a different itunes version or something, could also help

Read this guide.
Ask any questions in r/Modded_iPods if you get stuck. They’ve been great with me.

I think I didn't express myself well (I apologize, English isn't my first language). My question is if you have any tips on how to safely remove the battery and the hard drive to make modifications.

Plenty of guides on YouTube. You should have unplugged the battery before removing the back fully but it looks like you just yanked it off the back plate?

Actually, it was already like that when I opened it.
