I decided to take apart my old iRiver x20 to see if I could make the jog-dial work properly again, otherwise I’d just take it to the electronics recycling centre, or give it away for parts to electronics friends.
The back comes off anyway so you can replace the battery.
(Wow, a replaceable battery, what will they think of next)
Just a matter of prying the top open along the edges.
“Dancing around naked”. Pun, of course.
Hmm, not much to it really… I mean, it’s pretty thin…
More random images.
iRiver was kind enough to use normal screws and standard construction methods, so it was a very simple job to get it apart, I didn’t try to remove any components (I have no need for them). I couldn’t do anything with the jog-dial I couldn’t see how to get it apart, and the contacts have probably worn off anyway.
