If you??™re in need of one of these, Brandon has you covered on www.synctogo
.com, or you can go to the local hardware store. When you use the screwdriver
instead of the plastic tools, you want to be careful. Don??™t apply too much force,
or you might damage your iPod. The chances are good that you will at least
scratch your iPod no matter how gently you go with the screwdriver, so make
a point of finding those plastic tools.
For the first-, second-, third-, and fourth-generation iPod, as well as the iPod
photo, if you need to replace the screen (see Chapter 5), the front panel (see
Chapter 8), or the logic board (see Chapter 9), you need a T6 Torx screwdriver.
NOTE
Cracking the case of your iPod voids its warranty for
sure, so don??™t attempt to do this on any iPod that is under
warranty. And no practicing on your sister??™s iPod, either.
NOTE
Our technical editor tells us that these plastic tools are
called spudgers.
NOTE
Torx screwdrivers come in various bit sizes: T4, T5, T6,
T8, T10, T15, and so on. The size you want for iPod
repair is T6.
