iPod dissection video
So what's really inside your iPod? This video gives you the answer. All you you need is a putty knife (or reasonable equivalent thereof) and a willingness to completely destroy your property if things go wrong. (Unless, of course, that guy who works at the desk next to yours leaves his iPod out again--you're probably completely justified in assuming that he's volunteering it for exploratory surgery.) Fortunately, the young woman in the video manages to restore her iPod to its previous working state (or so it would seem) without incident.

It always amazes me when I see these dissections. Someone plunks down a neat stack of their own, hard-earned cash for a brand new Apple product that they know will be dissembled the instant they get it home. Of course, I'm always happy enough to look. The urge to "see how it works" has been with me since I was a kid taking radios apart (sorry, dad), and I'm sure it is responsible for my working in IT today.
