Re: [CGUYS] Frankenstein iPod
My 20GB iPod's hard drive died. Since the Toshiba 40/60/80GB 1.8-inch drives are very close to the same dimensions, could the mobo in the old iPod handle a bigger drive? My 1st gen iPod's 5GB hard drive died 2 weeks ago. So I got a Toshiba 20GB 1.8-inch drive for $20 on eBay and dropped it in. Looks to be working fine. And now I got 4x more storage to fill up. No eSnipe still doesn't make any sense to me. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

I have several dead or dying iPods, mostly due to abuse [dropped into water, held/swung by cable instead of in hand, left outside in weather too long, or given to me for dissection/examination after they died] and was considering combining the working parts into a Frankenstein iPod. All are long out of warranty. One is an HP iPod that the Apple Store genius was nice enough to diagnose for me. Otherwise, each dead iPod is worth $25 trade in, unless I can fix them myself without spending more than that.
