The Ways to Hack and Salvage The iPod Video LCD!

Electronics Hacks

You've a broken iPod, which has been leftover in the drawer for years but you just didn't know what you should do about it? Instead of abandoning it, why don't you take up some time and do something with it?
Basically, the 2.5" QVGA TFT LCD in the iPod video is very valuable and it can be salvaged then use in the large-scale project! For this purpose, you should make sure that you're using the iPod, which its hard disk was permanently dead (Well, if you're wealthy enough, then go ahead and use the brand new iPod Nano!).
The first problem that you might be faced in this project will be the connector, where its actually a 0.3 mm pitch FFC, and this will cause a fiddle to connect with. Since the connector is staggered altogether, with those pins on alternate sides, therefore the wires that are soldered on to it are 0.6 mm apart. Your task here is to keep them look tidily and flat, also to stop them fouling the flex cable entry and locking lever as well!
This project will take more time than you thought here, so the patient is the main key, if you want to involve yourself in it! [source]
