    I bought a 40Gb in 2003. I can't overstate how revolutionary it was to carry all your music with you. I had a Belkin FM transmitter on it and every radio I had was tuned to it. My music literally followed me more seamlessly than it does today. Bluetooth is better but FM was idiot proof.
    It's hard to be impressed by tech in the way the iPod was impressive. Everyone had portable audio and everyone had lots of physical media at home. And everyone had to choose what to carry around with them and what to play at any one time because changing took time.
    The iPod completely upended that forever. Its on-demand access to all your music foreshadowed streaming access to *all the music*. I'm now looking back to resurrecting my dead 3rd Gen. It caught the click of death after about three years of intense daily use. With no tutorials of any kind online at the time I made a hole in the touchwheel trying to open it. I'm encouraged to see new batteries, storage and boost convertors available to give the poor battered thing some new life.

      I also went the archive route, but I checked 2004 since that's when the 40GB model shown was manufactured. It was only $399 by then. Nobody was paying $1,000 for small electronics back then! Even a few hundred bucks for a base iPod was regarded as way overpriced by many.

    Nice restoration :) I've been watching DankPods as well and the phrase "someone's been in here before" rings bells!
    I had a problem (once before) with one of those adapters on my Philips 20GB media player. I'll have another look at it at some point to see if I can get it working (not that I need to bother with the Philips as its original 20GB IDE HDD works OK).
    Also, thanks to watching your videos, DankPods videos, and a video fron Budget Builds Official (all about iPods), I bought myself an 80GB iPod Classic (can't remember which generation). It's a great device - all I need to do is transfer my music on it via Itunes, as being a Windows PC user, I've been predominantly using Windows Media Player.

    For my own footnote. I still use the older iPod Mini (2004-2005). I absolutely LOVE the thing and will keep it forever. Upgraded the drive to an SSD (64 or 128, I forgot). New battery and Rockbox'ed it. Sound is amazing. Have countless extras for parts. It's easy to work on, reliable. The only minor thing about it that I do not like is that cable that connects the MB to the HD is delicate and can get damaged. Even when ordering that cable off of eBay, I have received damaged ones. Beyond that, it is a perfect device.

It's no longer my daily music player (I have a 7th gen and my iPhone for that), but I still really like the look and feel of it. The 40GB model was $399 US in 2004. My 20GB model was $299 and came with a case, the dock, the remote, and all the accessories.

You plugged the Firewire into the charge brick and the USB 2.0 into the computer for sync. Made just about everything about it a pain in the butt. Glad that by the time I got my iPhone 3GS that replaced carrying around 2 devices, that Apple had overcome this restriction.

    BTW when you work with several of the same item, you first detect problems, then open and try to repair swapping parts, and finally resolve what are you going to do. Humble suggestion.
    Also all those scratches can be removed or at least hidden with some medium car wax.

    The buzzing sound is either a short or a grounding issue...test for continuity and check if something has gotten inside the charging port. Then try bathing the board in isopropyl alcohol and scrub it with a soft bristle tooth brush to get rid of anything debris on the board...then heat it to about 100c with a heatgun(avoid the plastic bits as much as you can and focus on the memory module..you also can try 200c to reflow the solder)....good luck!

    hey Hugh, nice work. Can I suggest you polish the scratched backs with fine polishing compound and a microfiber pad
