Step 7
The iPod casing is now open, but don't separate the two halves just yet. There is still a orange ribbon cable connecting the headphone jack to the logic board.
Step 8
Use a plastic tool or your fingernails to carefully disconnect the orange headphone jack cable. Be sure to only pull up on the connector at the end of the cable and not the cable itself.
Step 9
Lift up the hard drive with one hand and carefully disconnect the hard drive ribbon from the logic board.
Lift the hard drive out of the iPod.
