good luck ishtob. I tried and tried, but if you find something let me know. Someone suggested earlier that you could drill a whole the width of the cap, and it would be poking out a the ipod casing by just a couple mils. I'm still workign on a better solution. There must be a way!

Dang. I was soldering last night and realized I had bought a huge gauge of solder wire at radio shack. Does anyone know where you can get jumper wires that are about the same size as battery connects in ipod (1G - I don't know if they're all the same)

Thanks for the heads up vvs and wgr! Got it! Wasn't even that bad. Just had to know where to look. Ok and I'm sure this is mentioned in the thread but I've already been over it so many times and can't remember, if I take out 53,54,86,87 caps and reconnect to 53,54 pads, does this still preserve the regular headphone jack or not?

What I'm most worried about is taking the ribbon out. So far, I've just been trying to do it still connected through the very small pry spot. VVS if I do take out 53,54 pads, I will def. need to disconnect ribbon. Do you know how to do this? I can't really get a good feel for the mechanism by looking at it from this view.

Ok. Sweet. I'm using an two old lipstick containers strapped on the back of my nano for true rocket style status. I originally had one, but it wont lay flat, and plus I can use one for a perfect im716carrying case. The other will have the caps and a round headphone jack I found on smallbearelec.com part 0627. Pics to come.

When you say "straight out of the WM8975" is that the same as soldering to C86 and C87? Or does that literally mean you have to solder to the tiny pins of the WM8975 chip? Dumb question, but I've read the posts a couple times and still can't figure it out. Thanks.

How do you guys think this mod compares soundwise to building an ipod dock connector to access line-out? Also, hows the nano 1G mod goin vvs?

Joneeboi. Thanks for the response. I would like to squeeze caps inside (insane I know) if possible. Also, though I have an amp, I'll probably try to preserve lineout. I'm not too picky though. Good links on caps in your sig. Prob go with some blackgates. I think I'll wait till vvs 75 does a tutorial, just to make sure. Pretty confident about soldering skills, just never worked on…

I am more psyched about this write up than I was actually getting my 1st gen nano. Can't wait for the post. In the meantime, is there any way you could list parts I need to be ordering so I'll be all ready to go. PLLLLEEEAAASE. Thanks.
