Death by iPod

The girl would probably like to kill me. I have, as of late, taken on a metric @55load of projects. My latest... Frankenpod. A simple concept; to take multiple broken iPods and create some smaller number of working ones. However, when multiple is 2 and broken means neither one has a fully working harddrive, it makes life hard. It's taken me nearly 3 days of tinkering to determine which components are bad.

One of these days I'll put it down. I still hold out hope that the parts aren't really bad, though...
