Opening iPod 6th Generation

Hello world! 

This is my first blog entry. Opening an iPod 6th Generation. 

Genius bar? I don't think so! Opening an iPod is easy but it requires patience and some skill with handling electronics. First you just need to slightly pop the cover with a soft tool or something soft and flat like on the image below.

Once that the cover has been slightly opened, Insert flat objects all the way down until you release the hinges (you should hear a clicking sound) like on the image below. 

Note that there are 2 more hinges at the top but they are not hard to pop once that the ones on the image below have been released. You should NOT start with the ones on the top because its easier to crack your screen if you do so. I personally prefer to start with the ones on the center by the sides of the iPod.

Once that you have managed to get the cover like on the picture below, you will be able to pull the cover up from top to bottom. 

WARNING: At the bottom of the ipod there is a small connector. Be careful with it and do not apply brute force or you may damage the main board/connector.

Remember that you will end up bending your iPod unless you use soft tools. I am not liable for any damage done following this procedure.


Amusing you with tech, and video game shall be my mission.
