I put this project off for 8 months since it seems like every time I touch an Apple iPod it explodes. Fortunately this iPod was a lot less problematic than the 3rd generation iPod I dealt with last time. It still resisted being fixed, but it didn’t fight as hard as I thought. However, it’s still a PROBLEM CHILD!!!! It may be 19 years old, but it’s still a silly child.
Thanks to @EliteObsolete for sending out the parts to repair this iPod.

This is a 60GB Apple iPod 5th generation from 2005, it has a DUAL LAYER hard drive which makes it pretty thick. I bought this iPod along with 4 others in an old video.
