Inleiding

This guide shows how to replace the front panel on the 1st Generation iPod Touch.

  1. Opening the case is a tough and potentially dangerous task. A good amount of force is required to wedge the plastic opening tool in between the case seams. The case may be damaged if this step is not done properly. Make sure not to hurt yourself while opening your iPod.

    • Opening the case is a tough and potentially dangerous task. A good amount of force is required to wedge the plastic opening tool in between the case seams. The case may be damaged if this step is not done properly. Make sure not to hurt yourself while opening your iPod.

    • Insert the small plastic opening tool into the seam in between plastic display panel and the metal back panel. The angled edge should point towards the metal back panel.

    • Hold the tool in place once it is wedged inside and the two panels are separated.

  2. There are seven interlocking retaining clips on each side of the iPod. The large plastic opening tool will be used to separate the front panel from the metal back of the iPod. Insert the large opening tool into the right side of the iPod, with the edge of the tool pointing towards the metal back. Gently enlarge the existing crevice by wiggling the large opening tool and moving it to the right.

  6. Use a spudger (or your fingernails) to remove the gold antenna. The antenna bends easily, so make sure not to apply too much pressure. When re-assembling, put the gold antenna in place before inserting the antenna circuit boards. Use the spudger to remove the connector on the left side. Remove two Phillips screws.

  8. The antenna loop board needs to be pried up (it is glued down). Gently use a plastic opening tool or spudger, to dislodge the antenna loop board. The board is connected to the antenna electronics by a small ribbon cable. This two-board assembly is very frail. The two small antenna circuit boards can now be lifted up together, and their orange cable can be peeled from the display.

  11. Be careful when flipping up the logic board. The headphone jack and docking port are attached to the board. Gently lift the logic board (and attached components) upward. The smaller portion of the logic board that resides underneath is very bendable and frail. Make sure not to pull the spudger upward when using it to detach the small board. Use only side-to-side movement.
