Is it just me or does it look like that battery is about to burst?

A caveat: make sure you do wait the two seconds before jamming the pen against the screw, or else the plastic will melt together with the plastic of the case.

While the output of the PSU is only 6 watts, the psu will draw up to 33 watts from a US 110v outlet. Still not bad.

Holy moly! Those wires are very surprising! Did Commodore make last minute changes?

Quote from macsound:

I dont understand the purpose or use of the "mirror" being removed...

I second that question. Why is there a "mirror" that you can't see unless you open the iPod? Does it serve as shielding or something?

I read (and have successfully used) this tip:

Take a clear bic pen, and disassemble it. Then melt the end of the barrel with a lighter. Let it cool for about two seconds then press it firmly against the screw. Instant custom-molded gamecube screwdriver. Only problem is the "screwdriver" will strip after one or two screws, but it's enough for at least one. If the screwdriver strips, remelt and go again.

That blue board is probably the bluetooth daughterboard. The part towards the back of the mouse with just a few gold-colored traces on it is probably the antenna.
