Step 12 of teardown shows a iPod

Step 12 of teardown shows a iPod I got in an Airport Extreme base station that the customer says was hit by lightning. Step 12 of the teardown shows an iPod, does anyone know why? Also is there anything in particular to look for to prove lightning damage on the unit?

Well, once you open it up, your best bet would be to look for anything that looks burnt, deformed, or out of place. Sometimes, when circuits go, they leave a small burn mark on the metal or plastic of the enclosure that covers them. Step 12 of the guide is just a little note that generalizes what ifixit does, and sells, not uncommon since they made the guide. You find this in some of their older (2009) teardowns.
