How to Bust Open an iPod

we hope you enjoy this step by step instruction on how to bust open your old iPods for those of you who are curious!

first, work at the ipod where the silver meets the color at the port (where you shove the charger cable in).

once a small crack imerges, place the shrap object into it to sustain the opening. move it over to the other side to open the crack even further.

use the tweezers to pry open the crack. this will take some effort on your part so DONT BE A LAZY BUM! (pry as if the tweezers were a crowbar)

once opened, you should unscrew those pesky little screws with the small screwdriver, or you may pick it apart savagley!

enjoy the wonders of the busted iPod =D.

Do

n't become discouraged if you cannot seem to pry the iPod open, it may take some time.

If you are very weak, you may melt the "glue" used to seal the iPod with a hot hairdryer (with parental supervision of course)
If the screws become stuck, just rip the ipod apart.. it's already broken!
AND REMEMBER, HAVE FUN WITH IT!!!! <3

Do

not attempt this project with children under 3 years of age within the vicinity, for they may choke on the small parts!
