BEFORE TO OPERATE, make sure that your headphone jack problem is not a clump of pocket dust stuck into it. It is hard to see so use a needle from which you curve the end a little bit. Make sure to empty it properly. Mine is like new.
You made my day
This Project was not hard if you are patient and sober. The guide is not so clear on reassembly. I RECOMMEND GETTING SOME SORT OF ADHESIVE FOR THE SCREEN when you replace anything on this Ipod. Most likely the previous adhesive will not be strong enough to hold it together, so rip it out and start over.
