With a little help from an eyeglass repair kit’s screwdriver, my pocket knife, and the liquid willpower of #9, I managed to get inside of the iPod… figure 1 In figure 1 (above), the tip of the pocket knife’s screw driver indicates approximately where I chose to start.

Found a nice looking tutorial for getting inside a 3G iPod. Now to dive in and see if I can fix it my ownself…
