Well I got a cheapp 512mb, but it went dead. I torn the small cable that connect to the USB so I couldn’t fix it, but I managed to insert my USB wifi adaptor into the shuffle case in the process. http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b233/eksasol/side.jpg

I took mine apart. I am an electronic novice and I haven't ever fixed anything in my life but I took mine apart and figured out that the "two little metal tabs" where you plug in the headphone "thingy" had been straightened from excessive use. But I lost the actual switch i guess? I have the slider but when I put it back together it won't turn on. but i know before i opened my iPod; both "Headphone tabs" worked out-of-sync when pulling the headphones out slightly.

P.S. If the battery indicator falls out the light goes on the side with the little battery symbol & is EXTREMELY easy to get back in. Set it down inside and hold the ipod steady while pushing it toward the hole with a very small object (likethe tiny screwdrivers for eyeglasses). if onrotly teh sll ware glasses

If you insert a small strip of paper inside over the inside of the battery button it makes the guts slide in easier and prevents them from getting snagged on the back of the button.

Many thanks to everyone that contributed information. over the last year or so, i’ve “Found” 3 ipods. a 512mb, a 30gb, and today a 1gb. hmm.. how do people lose these things? anyhow, the 1gb worked (played music) but, wouldnt charge or be loaded onto my pc, so i looked this site up, n tore it apart;)i managed to open and separate everything.. with out blades, or pliers. i did mark the edge of the case by gently prying.. nothing major. and i found why it wouldnt charge, etc.. yup.. torn cable. so, for now i’m gonna put it in a drawer somewhere, n hope i remember it when the 512 dies n do some home modifications;) lol
Thanks guys

how do you plan on putting it in another shell without taking it apart?? that makes about no sense at all.

If you’re talking about sticking it in something completely different, say like an old NES controller or something, then you still would have to gut the shuffle to get to the buttons enough to be able to rewire them and you’ll also have to redo the USB wiring so it’s still useable.

what are you attempting to do exactly?

is it possible to mod and rewire the buttons (like if i put the shuffle in another shell) without completely taking the shuffle’s guts out of its case?
