iPod

Fold-out quick start guide (includes two small white Apple stickers)
-
Plastic 'dock'

-
USB docking cable
-

-
Carefully insert an iPod opening tool in the seam between the metal casing and white plastic top. Be careful not to damage the soft plastic with your tool.
-
-
-
-
Lift the bottom bezel off. It's glued on using a mild adhesive, so some force may be required.
-
-
-
Pry out the headphone jack slowly with a spudger. Do not remove the headphone jack entirely, as it is connected via a fragile ribbon connector to the click wheel.
-
-
-
Once you have pulled the headphone jack out of its slot, remove the Phillips #00 screw formerly concealed beneath it.
-
-
-
Disconnect the headphone and click wheel cable from the logic board. It's tricky to see what you're doing, so you'll have to feel the connector inside the iPod with the spudger.
-
-
-
Use a spudger to push the logic board assembly out of the casing. The click wheel and headphone jack should remain in the iPod.
-
-
-
Pry the metal bracket off the back of the display. Make sure you only pry off the bracket and not the clear shielding on the rear of the display.
-
-
-
Lift up the display and use a spudger to flip up the black plastic retaining bar holding the display ribbon cable in place.

The new Nano uses Samsung flash memory, just like the previous model.
