Answer to: Where I can buy new memory for my iPod?You could also buy a Compact Flash (CF II type) to SD card adapter. Buy an SDXC card of whatever size you want, I have a 64 GB, 128 GB and a 256 GB in some of mine and you can go up to 512 GB. The cards has to be formatted to FAT 32. I formatted mine in a Sony Alpha 350 camera or any camera that takes CF cards but the SDXC card, on it's own, should format in an ordinary camera or on a computer. I fitted the CF adapter with all the sticky tape and blue plastic buffers but this really isn't necessary as the drive is now solid state and more robust. After rebuilding the Mini (put in a new battery if in doubt) connect to itunes and follow the reformatting menu that pops up and you should now have a more reliable, less battery hungry iPod mini. Good Luck

I would definitely recommend either circlip pliers to take out the metal retaining bracket because using a screwdriver leaves obvious marks on he corners of the case. I have noticed many for sale on eBay that have these marks. There are now plastic 'lifters' available to remove the top and bottom bezels and these are brilliant if used carefully and go in easily on the click wheel / screen side but be aware that when removing the bottom bezel it may bend the case a bit but it is easily persuaded back into shape. I too have carried out 64 GB, 128 GB and 256 GB conversions to the mini with a compact flash to SD card adapter and before fitting I format the card in my Sony Alpha 350 camera and it works a treat. My daughter loves her 128 gb converted mini and it's almost bombproof with a solid state memory on board.
