I know how he feels (sorta) MY dvd drive went out and I had to revert to the original cd drive and taking this bitch apart was absolute hell! I don't kno how many times I thought I broke something in the processe of taking it apart and re-assembling.

Congratulations! I recently did a similar repair myself. I have a 500mhz model that had a bad video cable (when you moved the lid forward the backlight went out) Instead of just replacing that cable.. I went ahead and put an entire lid assembly on also. Had some LCD smudges anyway! Sure didn't want to have to mess with opening it twice! These are indeed some of the hardest machines I've ever tried to work on. Congratulations on your repair!

Nice video, I have been needing to upgrade mine, I got the 600mhz version with stock drive and ram. 20gb with 256mb ram. You can still enjoy videos on them but res is a issue. Also using flash seams to be picky but works with 2GB flash drives and looking to use an external hard drive with mine after trying to get a ssd. There is ide SSD drives.
