Man, I hated when mine finally died. I’m not a big fan of apple, but I put some serious miles on that.
But too many things failed one after another, so it wasn’t a repairable thing. Would have basically had to replace everything except the body, and the price tag was higher than a replacement from other brands at that point.
But the way the classic worked was awesome. Barring a touch screen, that wheel was perfect for minor changes while driving, or otherwise unable to really mess around much. And it was better than a touch screen sometimes.
Nice to see one still working :)
…one…working…😅Lmao, if that’s what it takes to keep the dream alive!
They are great for kids. No distractions, only audio. 👍🏻
What kind of drive did you put in?
I found my old one that died and I’d like to open it up and fix everything, rockbox it and put an SD card reader in it or something, but MAN it looks tough to operate on it!
I have a fix it kit but gosh.
They all have iflash SD solo or quad adapters. Only one with rockbox for trying it out. I think iflash solo is the most reliable, if the storage is sufficient. Working on them is OK, after you open it for the first time. Gen5 is nicer to work on than Gen6, but lacks cover flow. I recommend the flat metal openers, the plastic ones suck. Have some plaatic delicate tweezers and pry tools handy for the interior. It is not too difficult, be courageous!
