Photos: Cracking open the fourth-gen iPod nano

Here's the Apple iPod nano fourth gen, all cracked open. Miniaturisation of the electronics has shrunk some fairly powerful audio/visual performance into a very small space.

But once again, we cannot emphasise this enough -- do not open your fourth-generation nano and expect it to work ever again. These devices are not designed to be opened. Let the death of the TechRepublic Cracking Open iPod be your warning. -Mark Kaelin

Managed to remove and reconnect the screen but could not remove without breaking the touch pad ribbon or hold switch ribbon cable
So I wonder how they make them ???
