r/ipodmods

Hello! I'm at the step where I have to remove the frame from the front plate. It seems to have a lot of resistance and I worry about forcing it. The logic board doesn't seem to be coming with the frame too. Is this normal? I'd appreciate any help you can give :,)

For reference, my model is the 160gb 6th gen. I've been struggling in finding resources for it online and I don't want to break it

Edit: I’m not trying to remove the frame from the logic board, I just need some advice taking the frame and logic board out of the front panel

So, I had an iPod 5th Gen sent to me with a white screen. I tried switching out the screen but it’s still white.

I had an old iPod 5 lying around with no battery and broken headphone and lock ribbon. I tried transferring the parts from the good iPod, but it hanged. I figured it was the parts not being compatible. It booted, when I removed them and restarted, then looped on the restart.

Now it’s just white again. Could it be a board problem or just the hard drive? Anyone encounter this before?

My dad gave me his old 5.5 gen iPod classic and I plan to replace the battery with a 3800mAh one, buy an iFlash Quad and put in a 256GB micro SD (the quad incase I wanna upgrade), a black backplate with no storage engraving, possibly a black faceplate replacement (it already is black but it's kinda scuffed up and will get more scuffed when modding it), possibly a screen replacement (also kinda scuffed), and a black leather case that straps to your belt, covers you screen with a flap you can lift up to see the screen and scroll wheel, and has holes on top and bottom for charging port, hold switch, and headphone jack. I also might want to do a bluetooth mod but I am not sure as I've heard of it not working very well with metal backplates.
