OK, now we have come to the ultimate Cracking Open problem. Ideally, we should be able to slide the entire insides out one end of the case or the other, but that is not happening.
At this point the iPod Nano is still working. I could put it back to the way it was and no one would know the difference. But this is a TechRepublic Cracking Open, so we must go on.
Unfortunately, this particular iPod Nano will no longer be seen alive.
