iPod uncovered

please be advised that the following presents some graphic images unsuitable for persons with health conditions, minors, pregnant and elderly




top left is the mainboard from apple
the earphone jack and lock switch panel from apple
i cant identify where the color lcd is from
the battery pack which looks like a cordless phone battery pack is made in china
the proprietary hard drive connector
and the toshiba 1.8" 20gb ata hard drive made in the philippines
made a mess when i tried to remove the blue sponge padding on the drive..



thats how ur pretty iPod components are held together and protected from the elements

ever wondered how the click wheel works? well it looks like that on the underside and there is a small connector from foxconn that links it to the mainboard.. didnt noe apple uses foxconn components

all the components are mounted on the mainboard n the mainboard is secured the the plastic shell with screws.. that black lining u see around the window is supposed to be another shock padding i suppose.. but its not strong enough to withstand about 1G of impact (that my iPod suffered).. haha

the underside of the shiny chrome cover looks so cheap with ink markings left behind by whom i suppose r the assembly line workers or the QC guys
