unfortunately I enjoy buying cheap used iPods and this is probably my worst purchase lol I spent $38 on this bastard and on one hand, at least it turns on and it's pretty, but on the other, the battery is SO shit 😭 one day.. I will fix you... one day.....
The reason I chose to mod it with iPod Wizard instead of Rockbox is because it has the "doesn't reboot" problem lol Also I forgot to mention it's 30GB, which I may update in the future, but for now it works ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Me and my 5.5 :) I replaced the screen, battery, front and back casings, and cracked it with the click wheel games mod & a red and black theme that I can't take credit for #ipod#ipodclassic
Here's my collection! [old pic, before I started modding my Classic] Unfortunately my 4th gen nano doesn't turn on & 5th gen nano needs a new battery. Otherwise, my 2nd gen & 3rd gen work fine, and I'll make a completely different post about my classic lol
