I spend most of my time trying to make your repair experience easier. I write a lot of the PHP, HTML and JavaScript throughout the site. I graduated Cal Poly with a BS in Computer Engineering. I really like robotics and competed in 2 NASA Centennial Challenges. I have fried enough hardware to know I should stay away from it.
When I am not coding I am social dancing. I generally go out several times a week. I play a lot of video games and watch good movies. I like long walks on the beach.
Glue. It's easy to glue things together. Hard to unglue them.
Thanks! I have no idea what I put in there, glad you do ;)

GB is gigabyte, Gb (lower case b) is gigabit. 8 bits = 1 byte.
Creating a guide for anyone to use to take fix a device is difficult and time consuming. It will take us weeks to figure out the best way to take apart a device so that we don't destroy it in the process. However, people are often interested in what is inside a device. We use the "Teardown" section for this. We do not have a safe way of taking apart the device yet but we want to show people what is inside. We warn people not to follow these steps because we were interested in what was inside and did not know how to do it safely. We will create guides for the iPod Nano 4th Generation in the future but are busy with other things. We try very hard to tell people the difference between a "Guide" and a "Teardown." We have many detailed guides for fixing things but the teardowns are meant to "provide a look inside a device and should not be used as disassembly instructions."
The teardown is not meant as a take apart guide. In the introduction there is a warning "Teardowns provide a look inside a device and should not be used as disassembly instructions" and on step 8 "We'll be working on finding a better way to get into this iPod, but for now we'd recommend keeping your new Nano in one piece."
