If you ever take it apart again can you list the part number for the CPU fan assembly? Mine is having clicking noises when running and I can't send it for warranty repair because I bought it on ebay. It might just be the cable underneath hitting the fan idk.

Interesting

Did you replace your screen too? How come its red?

Clear instruction bro.. The grinding on the bracket is very smart move.. Should paint black the grinding area to avoid rusty in the future...

😂

I don't know why people like to get stuck at noon at the gas station, while they can go at evenings.

7:56 😍😂

could you explain what was broken about your porta pros? was it just that they were previously disassembled with the cord cut? I have a pair of porta pros and one driver stopped working. I dont know if the cable is frayed or if the driver gave up. If its just a frayed cabled, i would love to give this mod a try

Just got myself a secondhand PP, might try this if feel fabulous.

Great video, I had mine from when it was new, only thing I had to do was replace battery &clicker wheel! Works like new. Agree I just want to listen to music, my phone does everything else. And true in traveling places with no cell service I still had music

Broooo been trying to pull it out for two days now.. watched your video and it took less the a minute… very happy but mad I didn’t see your video two days ago. 😂😂 Thanks

My battery is 5 years old now and still.going strong. Have onky ridden 6k km.

is the kit compatible with the koss kph40? anyway great tutorial, exactly what I was looking for

Anyone know where to get iPods upgraded with bluetooth ? Also, smart & likable young man, like the video !

20 minutes to wait for costco gas in california? what a failed state.

😂

Hey Alex! I just wanted to say thanks for your awesome content. Your video helped me a lot, and it really made a big difference for me. I love how you explain things so clearly and make everything easy to understand. Big shout-out from Buenos Aires, Argentina! Keep it up, you're helping tons of people. Cheers, Nicolás

Instructions unclear, my ipod is now in my ass and I can't get it out

Not all cv axles are designed like this . What about ball bearing?

I found my 2006 ipod 5th gen in a storage box before christmas. Ordered a new battery and 256gb flasg drive. Installed it all and it works but won't restore/update. Just gets stuck on the 'do not disconnect' message. Shows in Finder - very annoying.

iTunes has DRM? I thought they got rid of it when Amazon started eating their lunch with DRM free MP3 sales like 15 years ago

Hi Alex,or anyone interested, can someone tell me if the ipods on eBay from china are any good,im thinking about the 1 tb version, and are there any problems connecting to iTunes on a mac ,an older mac of about 5/6 years old, thanks for any help, this was a great help Alex.

At first I got these I tried to talk for a few hours on concrete having never worn barefoot shoes. Ouch! It's hard concrete directly hitting a small point on the bottom of your heel..when they said you'll feel what's underfoot they mean it. I had to put some soft and thin inserts in them..I can still feel what's underfoot (which is why I bought them) but concrete is bearable for a few hours. Hikes are a dream and there's wasn't a bad break in period. And even with the inserts my arches aren't too supported so expect some muscle soreness in your arches as they build up strength.

Great video and I'm in the process of doing this with my iPod 5th gen, formerly with 30gb! Now with an iFlash Solo with 512gb... It went fine so far, the iPod gets recognised by my Mac in DFU mode, I clicked restore and this is doing it now since almost 30 minutes with no progress 😫 What could that be? Thanks 🙏🏻 PS: I did format the SD card beforehand and not while the iPod as a drive connected to my Mac... 🤔

I tried all kind of triks I just finished welding a pulley puller to finish de job 😂

Remember 5th gen has the best DAC, lol. J/k personal preference.

Your can-do spirit is inspiring, Alex. I just love how you approach teaching yourself something as you do it. Your humility and curiousity are evident. I have the exact same bike and follow your explorations with interest. Keep it up!

I refuse to solder, BUT you made it look easy. Just ordered the Porta Pros in beige and may look into this mod down the road. Thank you!

Not the Miller i remember....no mojos....brads office is gone....an assembly line for the lvu....girls in the workplace....looks like D.E.I. got to them also.....i guess you got to stay up with the times

i just got a pair of Numzaans last week and I'm thinking of getting these and the 719's. I think these actually wouldn't look bad worn with shorts in the spring/summer.

If you use an ipod, please ignore the headphone jack and use 30 pin to audio out. Then use a headphone amp. Oh...don't forget to install Rockbox.

Ok, I’ve had mine since new, how can I add more music to those playlists, or new playlists? I’m not the most tech savvy, so a good step by step would be helpful.

I wear that boot quite a bit. even had to have them resoled. they look funky from your own POV it looks good from most other angles including of course this shot.

Sad upgrades for Nanos don't exist

have you experienced super high CPU temps? I recently set up my DXP4800+ with unraid, and i am getting CPU temps of 90+ when all i'm doing is downloading files on sabnzbd and qbittorrent.

i've been struggling with restoring my ipod video (5th gen). i reformatted the sds to fat32, but my mac keeps changing it to mas os extended (jorunal). im on mac somona. unsure what to do. when it stops showing up in finder, i have to reset the ipod to safely eject it. then my ipod functions on it's standard firmware, until i plug it into my laptop- where it goes into "do not disconnect," flashing 🚫, while my mac only recognizes it as an external drive. would really appreciate some help. should i just restore it on windows :/?

Ill give you the reason why to use an iPod ……..shuffle! Every streaming service shuffle offer sucks!!

I feel like modding an iPod is more for the challenge and the fact of actually doing it rather than adding more functionality. Yeah adding more storage and Bluetooth and a cool colour case is handy but the fact you’ve built it feels fun and like you’ve done something. I built a classic 3rd gen from three broken ones and it was even more special as I had built it. Yeah we can stream but owning it on something you’ve made better yourself is a good feeling

“Fitment” isn’t a word in US English and doesn’t mean what you think if you’re using British English.

you should be going in circles that way it covers all directions of scratches and blends them in.

can you add a different ssd with higher capacity

Just so there are no misunderstandings. A RAID is not a backup, it is actually only for failure safety (availability) and not for data security!😉

Nice job. Like someone else said..... I think you pushed a needle bearing into the differential. That could be a widow maker. I would have replaced the seal that got messed up. Just my opinion. Never use an open end wrench on a bolt head that you can get a boxed end wrench on. Putting seals in can be a hassle. Better to use a seal installation kit or make a tool out of something like a socket, etc. The axel has some recesses around the housing. You can use a soft punch and hit it with a dead blow hammer to pop it out. You can also pry on those recesses it you set up a pinch bar. That thin piece of metal you bent up is a shield. As long as it doesn't touch the seal, you be fine. Keep up the good work. Learn as you go. Thanks for the video

Never expected to see the ‘story circle’ as your narrative… that got a like and a sub. Keep up the gr8 work. :)

Piracy is the way

I had the same "song skip" issue with 320kbps aac files. I tried all kinds of resolutions, but what fixed it for me was downgrading the album art quality on the files to 200x200 (as much of my artwork was originally 1500x1500 or larger). The 5.5 iPod seems to have issue quickly loading files with higher quality album art, causing it to skip songs. As soon as I downgraded all album artwork, I never got another skipped song.

Are they waterproof?

Thank you.
