taking apart iPod 1st Gen (desolder)
Hi, Does anyone know how to take apart the cover type of thing over the hold switch/jack/firewire connector on this old style iPod? Once done any ideas how to replace the firewire connector? Please see step 14 on link iPod 1st Generation Logic Board Replacement to see what I am referring to. Thanks, Nick.
