What Kind of iPOD Do I have

The red one? The silver one? Does it really matter?
Actually, yes. Not so much because of the color, but because
of what’s inside. The iPod has been around since 2001, and
already there have been multiple generations of products
leveraging the power of all kinds of different (and sometimes
competing) technologies. Today’s iPod might work more or
less the same as the classic original did, but what makes
each individual generation of iPod work is surprisingly
different when you get down to it.
As with anything high-tech, the closer you look, the more
complicated it gets. Before you can attempt to fix your iPod,
you need to know exactly what you’re fixing. The parts and
even the techniques that you use often change depending
upon the model.
