Installation

Installation Guide (click on images for detailed instructions)

: Using suitable tools, release the holding clips, making your way around the case till it opens. I suggest watching some iPod opening videos on the internet.

: Before pulling the case apart, release the battery cable – lift the black lock bar -or- gently using even pressure pull up the battery ribbon away from the connector.

: Rest the front and back side by side, be careful to not cause too much stress on the headphone ribbon.

: Lift and flip back the hard drive. Gently lift the black bar to release the ribbon from the HDD.

: Remove all rubber bumpers and strips from the iPods if any remain after the HDD is removed. iPod is ready to accept the iFlash board.

: Insert and lock the SD card in to the iFlash-Solo. Make sure the black bar has been raised on the Zif connector.

: Install iFlash-Solo in to the iPod, make sure the ribbon is fully home, then lock the black bar down.

: Attach Foam Pad(s) on top of the SD connector, overlap on to the SD card – this will secure the SD card from releasing from the iFlash-Solo. Use two pads if fitting in to a thick caseback.

: Installation is complete, ready for the iPod to be closed.

: Slide battery cable in to the connector and push down the black latch to lock the ribbon in place.

: iPod is now ready to restore & sync using iTunes.

SD Cards

General Notes:

All modern UHS-I U1 and U3 cards will generally work ok. We suggest buying the fastest card in your budget as they tend to have faster access times and better quality memory chips.

Tip: MicroSD market is full of fake and mislabeled cards – try to purchase cards which the seller has obtained directly from the manufacturer. Be wary of cheap, high capacity cards – If it looks too good to be true – then it is fake! We always suggest testing the SD card fully using something like H2Testw.
