@@razorbladesky it has been great i love it still and soon i am gonna buy some parts for it and make it into a bluetooth ipod. But if you want a pod without building on or buying one off of ebay just go to his store best choice i ever made.
I just put my order in for a transparent 5.5 with 128ssd and thick body battery.... I've had it in my cart for months and I've been dreaming about it... as soon as I had the extra cash I bought it. I am so so so excited! I wanted to ask you if maybe possibly in the future, would Bluetooth ipods be a possibility of something you may have available? Or if we already bought an ipod, could we send them back to you for the Bluetooth mod to be put in? In any case, I couldn't be happier with my new pod! I'm so excited to get it. I love your work, thank you for everything!!!
The foam pads make sure the iflash is secure, i tried the foam pad method shown in this video and i could hear the iflash wiggling around in the case. I just used kapton tape to secure the sd card and i put one foam pad like it was shown in the iflash tutorial.
The way iFlash say to stick foam pads in the instructions, shows them sticking it on the sd card holder and the sd card. This ensures the sd card cannot slip out accidentally, the way you do it also accomplishes the same task.
Have you tested the maximum storage that can be put into every generation of iPod? We all know the maximum for 6th and 7th gen, but have the older iPods, like the 4th gen, been tested?
Possibly a stupid question but I’m v new to the community. I’m repairing by first cheepo broken 5th gen from eBay. In the future I want to upgrade to a 5.5 64MB, so I can store more music. Can I just replace the logic board with a 64MB 5.5 version? Or is the logic board not as “hot swap” as I’d hope it is? Thanks for all the helpful content and love your store ☺️🥴
@@EliteObsolete Awesome. Ordered a bunch of parts to fix up my 2 Pods....Hope this transation goes well..Im sure it will. The Thin battery I ordered is for my 5th gen 30g .....it is thin, so I hope it will work...If you see a problem with fit, cancel that item. Subscribed.
I had a problem with my sd card drive not working intermittently and a new ribbon cable did the trick. My scroll wheel was going crazy so I installed a new one and it was fine then all of a sudden it will let me reset with menu and select but won’t let me go into diag mode, disk mode, and it won’t scroll and none of the buttons work. But again it will let me reset with menu and select so I know the wheel is good. Does the same thing with the old Wheel. swear this thing is cursed
I installed a replacement clickwheel on my 80 gb 5.5th gen Ipod Video white but the center button feels a little sunken in. I have heard there is supposed to be a rubber piece that goes underneath the center button. Does anyone know where I can get a reputable used original white ipod video clickwheel? I would rather buy a used original Apple clickwheel set then a new reproduction because the plastic feels off on the fake ones. The piece was not from you though, it was from a random seller.
At you suggestion, I followed the instructions in this video to the letter. Everything is plugged in just like in the video. My computer does not recognize the iPod and all I get on the iPod screen is the message that showed up in the video when you plugged in the battery to test the screen. The only part that is not new are the click wheel, midframe and screws. All the other parts came from you. Need some help here.
Wondering if you're still in business? I purchased the parts to essentially make a new 5th gen back in September. Got the parts and put everything together. I had some glitches and Austin responded in a timely manner and helped right up to the point he stopped replying. I still don't have the iPod working and have gotten radio silence since Nov 30, 2021, when I last heard from him. I've sent 3 emails since then and tried using the contact form on the website. Crickets! I need some help here as I still can't get the iPod working.
I bought one from Elite Obsolete. I got the 5.5 gen so I did need to buy an old 30 pin to usb cord, but it's got 128 gigs and that more than enough for me. On his site it's described as brand new, as opposed to the refurbished ones he does that he doesn't flash drive mod. My 5.5 gen is literally brand new, every single piece has been replaced with a new one. It's stunning, works amazingly, and gives me dedicated music so I don't keep killing my data plan listening to music on my phone. I think if you got his new ones versus the refurbished ones, it would last you a long while. And they're soooo beautiful. And he also has replacement parts on his site and vids for all of them showing the replacement process. So if one thing breaks you won't be SOL. I hope you get one and love it as much as I love mine!!
Hi, i wanted to ask you, if its possible to customize your Backplates you sell on your website for the iPod Video 5.5 (like the Serial Number etc.)? I would like to buy the Aqua Blue Thin Backplate for my iPod Classic 5th Gen, but i also want to retain the original Text, like Serialnumber of my iPod! Thanks in advance :)
Hello this is the customer that ordered this iPod thank you so much it is incredible and my first full size iPod
@Hot Wheels Cars And Guitars i am fine

love this little insight into the business, just ordered, nice to see how it will be assembled :)
Thank you for this video, had some trouble flashmodding my 5g and I realized it was the flex cable wasnt in all the why

You didn't include the step where you open it back up to remove the capton tape on the clear centre button :D
Thinking about getting one myself. Can’t decide what gen either classic or nano
You’re the BEST !! ❤
Yo thanks for these vids. Great stuff! :)
The way iFlash say to stick foam pads in the instructions, shows them sticking it on the sd card holder and the sd card. This ensures the sd card cannot slip out accidentally, the way you do it also accomplishes the same task.
That’s how I originally did it, I found it to be far less effective than this method.
very helpful thanks a lot
qaulity content my man
Interesting music selection!!! Will a thick backplate work on a thin ipod classic??
It should but there will be a lot of extra space you should probably fill with something like an extended battery.
DankPodders say "Somebody has been in here".
Are u th guy that sold dank pods his stuff
Yes, I’ve worked with him for a while now
when are you going to sell 2-4 gen shuffle and 2-6 gen Nanos?
How would i go about putting a metal faceplate on a 5th gen?
Have you tested the maximum storage that can be put into every generation of iPod? We all know the maximum for 6th and 7th gen, but have the older iPods, like the 4th gen, been tested?
Check iFlash's website

Yes, you can swap the board. You’ll have to restore / factory reset the iPod during the process. Be warned
@@EliteObsolete ofc ofc. Thank you for the late night reply. Will be ordering more shid soon ❤️
Is the 7th gen frontplate (thin blackplate model) can be install into a thick backplate?
Yes
i cant get the top hold switch screw to tighten any tricks?
Is there any way you could modify it to have higher quality screen with more pixels?
Nope
Does your 5th gen motherboard have the Wolfson DAC ? Also, are your replacement parts GUARANTEED to fit perfectly with original Apple iPods?
Yes. All iPods videos have the same Wolfson IC and Yes.

Returning my iPod touch I just bought and ordered a classic for the same price

If I were to order a 5th gen in the check out notes can I request the backplate to say 128gb?
yes
Shame you didnt add the lsrger battery
I do every day

Did you get your IPod working?
And it does have the origan ipod os right?
Yes

Do the iPods you sell come pre assembled? Thank you!
Of course
unless you order all the parts seperately ;)
Bussin. Air conditioner faceplates when?

@@EliteObsolete I was only messing around, seeing though you do cool faceplates for a lot of things. My bad lol.
Does it come with a cable
Yes
Ok thanks

@@EliteObsolete Thanks for your fast reply! But i think, the backplate isn't for me then... i don't want to have random S/N on the back of my iPod :D
Can you please do mine?
Please kindly respond.
Thanks
gd King Kong could've put that together more gently
