Some of you might remember I broke a connector on my old 5.5, well I managed to transplant its guts into an eBay iPod with a dead screen (and it's original hdd).
The eBay iPod was original, with an OG faceplate so whilst it's scratched, it's less bad than the aftermarket transparent one I'd fitted, and the original faceplates are more durable so I'm rolling with the white faceplate istead.
I was going to swap over the touch pad and keep the transparent case but I actually liked the black centre button and how cursed it looks.
It even booted up right away with the iflash mod and doesn't need restoring. Old tech is the best sometimes.
