what's the differece between 20G logic board and 40G logic board? I have changed hard drive into CF card and now I have to change logic board..
So there’s the difference between 20gb and 40gb logic board? I’ve changed 20gb HDD to new 40gb HDD and now Can't get to work my ipod! So what to do?
No idea if anyone will respond to this but here goes: Okay so I just want to know if you can repair the part where you attach the screen cable to the logic board, that part suddenly came off and was wondering if there’s a way to reattach that part back onto the logic board so the display can show up??
