The only way to open a 7th gen classic is to see a lockpicker
Considering how hard those are to open, not to mention having to bend them back into shape, you might be better off bashing them open with 1 Grit.
You have a good point BlueRockEye
I think this one might be a job for a stoprock

As someone who just got a 7th gen to mod, cracking it open is just as hard as people say it is. I'm glad I had a replacement housing ready so I just decided to rip the current one out

I've been considering opening my 6th gen. After seeing this I'm going to leave it alone until it actually needs to be opened up.
My 6th gen has a ton of dead pixels on the screen and a bad battery. I'm planning on buying replacement parts and doing it as a project
back when I just got into ipodding, I spent 2 hours opening my 6th gen with a butter knife and good lord that was absolutely agonising.
Did you use the "PRO STRAT"?
Ok so long story short, I needed to dissassemble a microwave. However, the thick metal case had been sealed shut by like a press, so I spent about 3 hours cutting the whole thing apart with a pair of garden shears

The ifixit method gives me anxiety, BEND
Jesus Christ, I've never seen an ifixit guide be so wild. Basically what they are saying is: "what you want to do is very carefully jam a fucking knife through it and move it until you get it open or you die"
Honestly tho, I was expecting something like: "you really want to make yourself suffer, huh?" when you're a few steps in because oh my LORD this is an absolute NIGHTMARE.
while I’m early I just wanna say I love the short pause before he slaps down the subject of the video.
“Untested” usually means it’s been tested... but it doesn’t work
Some people literally don't bother to test them, this is more a 50% 50% chance of it working or not
A little tip I use: Put masking tape right along the seams where you intend to pry from. It helps prevent your tool from sliding across the surface too much when you do happen to slip. It may not stop all marking but it will help keep any marks that do occur a bit on the smaller/more minor side. Granted, you may simply not give a damn with these products for all I know, but I figure the tip may at least be of use to someone.

Underrated comment
I’ve been a huge fan of this channel ever since CZcams recommended it after watching The Blurst Of Times all day on repeat... I didn’t even own any iPods so when my roommate handed me his old one yesterday out of the blue naturally I was excited!!! I think it’s a 6th gen classic (160GB with a perfect screen and no battery swelling... I don’t know what I’m gonna do with it but I’m excited lmao
Nice score!
@@DankPods you and Hugh Jeffery should do a collaboration
7:20 NO SHREK! WE ARE BEING PLAYED OUT OF AN iPOD THAT BELONGS TO AN ANGRY AUSSIE MAN! WE ARE DOOMED!
The original hard drive in my 160gb 7th gen classic died recently and I probably wouldn’t have known where to start getting in to the thing without this video.
Once I’d managed to get the isesamo tool to open the back case a crack, I found that the best thing to keep the clips deactivated was a bunch of hair clips as they’re thin and slightly sprung metal.
I’m waiting until Payday to order a new back case, front case and battery, however I now have it running off a 256gb SD card. Thanks Dank.

This is why I love your videos, you're the most honest CZcamsr when it comes to classic iPods. I have modded many classic iPods myself and I always roll my eyes at other videos where they open these things in seconds. The only way that happens is if it has already been opened dozens of times before. The 5th gens aren't too difficult but can be tricky if never opened before, once they are opened its effortless to open them again. But the 6th and 7th are nearly impossible not to bend or damage the backplate unless you really know what you are doing.
I literally am right about to go to bed, then I see this gets uploaded, dammit.

The iPod 7G 160 GB is the second iPod i've collected, and it's making this wierd sound, I don't know if it's the drive, but I opened it up. The process went super smoothly cause I had this video playing right next to be the whole time. You're a legend, Wade!

Yay! Another video that never gets old to rewatch, I’ve rewarded so many of your videos over and over again the past couple of days.
Please know that your efforts have not gone unnoticed.

Imagine how much money he spent on Shrek DVDs and merch lmao.
If it's your first time doing this, I highly suggest buying a replacement case ontop of whatever replacement/upgrade parts you're doing. That way you don't have to worry so much about damaging the original case when opening it. There are plenty of cases you can get for around $25. I got mine on eBay.
Discovered your channel recently, subbed. Who knew servicing old iPods could be so entertaining.
I have a classic I wanted to open, but I think I'll wait until the battery or hard drive actually die before even attempting it!
As a electronic’s technician this was fun to watch lol
This has made my day, seeing this coming out
You uploaded this last night at around 3 AM and I was so sad I couldn’t watch it right away cause I was drop dead tired. Love your vids dude! Keep em up!
I’m so glad my friend who was drunk around 3 am randomly posted your video for us to watch.
I love your humor and way of speaking.

I just did it, with this video playing. I had to pause it a few times, but was of great help. Made some minor scratches to my classic, but smoothed them with fine sandpaper (the aluminium top is very easy to scuff). Everything works, and looks good, and I am happy with it! I used the iSesame tool, and some auto feeler gauges to open case.
This is actually great for me! I have one of these iPods and the hard drives dying so I'm waiting for the adaptor to arrive so I can put an SD card in it, so thanks for letting me know exactly what I've got to do! 👌 The ifixit guide was making me anxious
That intro....
Ah yes classic Dankpods.
As I usually change housing to Ipod, I simply open Classic's with flat scredriver. It destroys old case, but who cares, at least that way, I can open it in seconds.
Do you use the pro strat™
You my good sir, got me into modding iPods. I just got a 5th gen and flash modded it. Really glad I went with a 5th gen over a 7th gen now
I love how you send messages to my old favorite videos of yours that i am watching when i don't wanna breathe anymore.
Lmao does anyone think DankPros sound like Jazz’s? (the artist)
Opaque Ice yea but dank pods is obviously better
Both of them are from australia
the word is artist i believe XD
Nadie yes i know that they are from australia, i am australian
they barely sound alike
I had a feeling that I needed to search for you when I was watching a hugh jeffereys video, as he was taking about how hard they were to open
I find a new video
Propably the best opening of one of these that i have seen. Good work.
Really excellent advice. I have a 6th generation iPod. That battery is kaput. Bought a replacement battery and took it and the device to the local Apple Store where they basically told me to get lost. They won't touch any Apple product 7 years after it has been discontinued. Worse, they told me "these weren't made to be opened". A lie, of course. The truth is that these weren't meant to be opened by the user, but only by Apple, and Apple did open them during the warranty period of the device. So, I'm on my own and will follow the entertaining instructions in your video.
Truly, you haven’t tried to open a 7th Gen IPod nano.
Wow it feels like you just started this channel and you're already the most famous Australian I know of. Well, besides the dentist from finding Nemo.
Just the grunting made my muscles tense. And this was a relaxing DankPods binge watching session.
You truly are a fighter man, good job on the video!
Me: just woke up
DankPods: video!
You just woke up? I haven't even gone to bed yet

I now have a flash modded iPod that I use regularly... and it’s all your fault.
I used my painters metal pallette knife to open my pod. theyre super thin and flexible. good tool to have around
Him with a 6/7th gen iPod: "This is the hardest iPod to open"
iPod nano: _laughs with a swollen battery*_
Hey, at least it isn't as hard as an iPod nano 5th gen. I know a local repair shop and he has never fixed a 5th gen nano. He's repaired 160 iPod 7th gens.
Started watching this at 4:20
i dont have ANY INTEREST in ipods
BUT YOU ARE SO FRICN SO ENTERTAINING AND YOU'VE MADE ME OBSESSED NOW
It's 2 am and I always end up watching videos like this only. I only own a 4th Gen, but I'm not really that crazy about iPods. DankPods just has a way of making videos that are very entertaining and fun to watch. I really enjoy your content!! c:

He's lowkey gonna unleash his inner howtobasic
I am an amateur at working on ipod classics but I have opened many 5th, 6th & 7th gen ipods with great success; several of my own and many for friends. With patience, common sense & lots of help from CZcams I have not had any failures and a minimum of scratches. This video is informative and well presented, but don't be discouraged. It is doable if you persevere.
This channel is gold
I love it

I bought 11 iPods since I found this channel..

During these dark times, your channel is the best thing to come
I've got one of these 6th gen 80gbs, I've got a new case, iflash solo and all the fixins, new headphone and hold switch and a 2000mah bat tree coming for it. The first time I cracked the original case open I broke the little rail thing on the inside that clips it together so its very easy to open now (but doesnt seal shut properly) so the hard bits done aside from swapping out almost everything
Hi
I forgot to write to tell to that you have amazing content.
And also how's grit (the rock) and how's quarantine has been going in astraila dank pods and I sorry to ask you a question what is your name and your favorite music or song. and to write a long edit i never thought you would read this.
*"Hello ladies and gentleman, this is the iPod Picking Lawyer"*
I did open one of these to insert a bigger hard drive and the difficult part is not the opening, but opening it so that you do not make it look ugly later - bending the back back into shape without actually trying it on until I'm sure it fits well is no fun at all. I used like 10 guitar picks (dunlop Tortex are the best I've tried as spudgers, as they're flexible, but not malleable so they don't get disfigured , bent or broken too easily), a putty knife and a purposefully blunted safety razor blade (I used a small, roundish stone to make the blade dull, but it will go into places no spudger, plastic or metal, can go in and it's so much cheaper than anything, especially if it's already spent from shaving). And I managed to get it to look OK, just one corner feels a little rough to a finger, but without any visible kink or wrong curvature.

@DankPods This video really brightened up my day. Keep up the good work, i'd love to see you build an ipod into like a bluetooth speaker enclosure. or even better! a baby jukebox for the bathroom?
Just opened my 6th gen (for the first time), went very well, pretty easy if you go slow.
Best advise is to get a spare front cover (or photos of one) so you can accurately reference each clip position.
Why am I just now getting a notification for this video
You took too long John DankPods, I can open up one of these in .6 femtoseconds >:(((
Jomaster The Second toss it into sun, disintegrated is still technically open
This is perfect timing. My 6th gen arrived today and I plan to put a 3000mah in it along with a flash upgrade, new back, and red click wheel. Now I know to get a few blade things to cut. Y ipod and hands open with.
The intro to this videos is one of the best intros i have ever seen in my life. It is a pure DankPods blessing if i ever saw one.
Hi I am first! NOTICE ME SENPAI
Wow you accomplished so much
u first
Hehe
I have that proof
I have a red custom iPod 6th gen too. Just threw it together and was easy to get apart since a clip was broken on the front. Couldn’t imagine trying to pry apart a new iPod.
Imagine having a school assignment where you have to take that whole thing apart in a certain amount of rime for a grade... I would fail
I actually managed to do this today! This "guide" honestly helped so much and I can sympathize a lot with how much of a pain it is to actually do. Sadly I severed the hold button ribbon cable...but with a 3000mh battery, I don't think I'll miss it.
Given a few more episodes, we can probably extract the whole Shrek movie from individual scenes played in each video
I bought a black 80gb ipod 6th gen a bit ago, wanting another one after watching your vids, I think someone was actually in it before, as I didn't find the same battery you did, I found a blue shrink wrapped Sanyo battery (there was also a bunch of dirt and grime inside it somehow). replaced it with the same battery you did in this vid and replaced the headphone jack and lock button(cleaned the inside too). Overall for fixing my 1st iPod, I think it went well. It's a heavy nugget and I love it. battery still has full charge after over a week of sitting. I've also got a 2nd Gen nano that still has yet to get the dreaded black spot.
A professional tech bent the living daylights out of my 6th gen 120 gig and STILL couldn't fix it. Two years and several of these videos later, I fixed it my damned self -- it was just a hard drive failure. I upgraded to iFlash, and it works great. I was able to bend the iPod case back into shape-ish, but it's STILL warped.
I've fixed so many of these now, I'm opening cases without scratching them! (I always go for the top clip first, and that seems to be easier for me.) Thanks for these videos!!!
I’ve never needed more iPod videos in my life
