iPod Classic Screen Replacement & Take Apart Directions by DirectFix.com

A little silicon bead from one of those silicon packets that the put in leather goods to absorb moisture got stuck in my iPod headphone jack. It's a few year old iPod well beyond warranty, and useless to me unless I can get that bead out. I imagine opening the iPod like this would be my first step, any advice beyond that?

@TheRevRockstar I would try as many steps as you can to get it out without taking it apart. Leave that as a last resort. Try a dab of super glue on the end of a tooth pick and carefully set it in on the ball. After it drys see if you can pull it out???

I was about to take my iPod to a shop and spend 50$ for them to replace my screen. But this definitely makes me want to switch out the screen myself. Thanks alot!

A bottle of vodka leaked into my ipod but everything seems to be working except the screen, i ca even plug it into my computer, although it occasionally can't read it. Should vodka damage the interior parts?

[pdaparts]

Any liquid can cause damage to the internal parts.

hey thanks for this! i didnt think it was possible to do that without breaking it...

i have egg yolk stuck in my ipod (dont ask) and it's stuck inside my screen and its broken it. if i take it out and empty it, is it possible for it to work again? maybe not.. lol.
