Do you have a favourite iPod in particular? I like the classic models.

Mini gen 2 FTW! Or Gen 5's cuz they're so moddable!

Ipod Minis are great, but I love nanos until I have to fix them. Probably my favorite ipod is either a 5th gen classic or a 3rd gen nano.

You should check out DankPods if you're really into that sort of stuff, but from what I can tell from your interests in Apple tech, you've probably at one point already saw his videos.

Shuffles are basically the same story as a nano, except parts are somehow even more difficult to find since no one wants a usb stick with a headphone jack.
Anxiety_timmy
Yeah I watch DankPods, and yes I do call my iPods dingus constantly.
SylverReZ
I'm not suprised haha

I have unironically called ray cons ran cans multiple times.

iPod Shuffles aren't really a lot of money if you look in the right places. I recall that they were £30 when they were sold in Argos, a store in the UK, before they got discontinued.

I wish Nanos weren't so sketchy. I found a super cool red one, but the battery is one heck of a spicy pillow
Chary
Yeah, I found it for $5 at a thrift store, but I left it, as cute as it was, I don't have the means to repair it/I didn't want to keep it in a jar forever ala dankpods lol

Most serviceable nano to me is a 1st gen followed by a 3rd gen.
Anxiety_timmy
the issue is that most nanos have a soldering requirement, and id really suggest having a ton of experience with a small things before even trying to service a nano

EEVBlog has some good videos on soldering tutorials. I have actually gotten better at doing it thanks to his videos. 
Anxiety_timmy
Yeah im decent at soldering at this point but the nanos are so small that they got me a ton of times. Then again I can't microsolder yet, so oh well.

Soldering surface mount components are a challenge, best to get an appropriate microscope designed for soldering in mind.
