Open Your Third- or Fourth-Generation
iPod or Your iPod Photo
To open a third- or fourth-generation iPod or an iPod photo:
1. Turn the iPod on its side, and measure about two inches from the bottom.
2. Take your plastic tool or flat-headed screwdriver, and carefully but firmly
wedge it between the plastic front and the metal back at the position you
located in step 1.
3. Use the plastic tool or the flat-headed screwdriver as a lever to crack open
the case.
4. Carefully slide the plastic tool or the flat-headed screwdriver down the side of the
iPod to release all the clips that hold it together.
5. Begin to remove the back from the iPod, but don??™t take it all the way off just yet. As
soon as you can, unplug the audio jack (see Figure 3-4). Do this before completely
taking off the back. If you don??™t, you can damage your iPod. To unplug the audio jack,
try using your fingers, or pry the audio jack with your opening tool if the jack won??™t
budge.
