My Problem
A Colleague brought in an iPod classic (which he holds dear) because there was no music. Uncertain if he would ever be able to listen to it again we replaced the defective Headphone Jack & Hold Switch. All went well and my colleague is very happy!
My Fix
It is no exaggeration that this is one of the trickiest repairs, certainly was mine! It took me at least 30 minutes to get to Step 17, so prepare yourself, get into a zen-like state and be patient, it will open eventually...
My Advice
Just follow the guideline provided by ifixit (although they somehow fail? to mention that there are also two nasty hinges on the lower right and left corner [see Step 17] holding the top case firmly in place).
It may be best to try and open the clips on the bottom corners the same way as shown in Steps 13 through 16.
Now all the best of luck with your repair, surely you won't need it but who knows...
