The video on YouTube shows somebody separating the face from the click wheel like he was shucking oysters. :=) Most of the people who have tried it themselves report it's not that easy. I found a new technique for separating the plastic click wheel face from the electronic part. I used a cold spray to freeze the click wheel, then the face can be pried off a lot easier. The glue loses it's grip at ...

On the iVue product for 5G Video models, is there actually a difference in the front panel part depending on whether you have a 30 GB or 60/80 GB iPod? I thought all the OEM front panels were the same, and only the back and some of the internal parts covered by the back were different in size.

Thought I'd write about my experience with the iVue here:

I bought it along with the extended battery, as well as a replacement screen I found on Ebay. Figured I'd do all the upgrades at once so I wouldn't have to open the iPod up again, and again, and again...

Battery replacement went smoothly (wasn't my first - I'd done it before with my daughter's iPod), and the screen went surprisingly smooth (just had to ...

And I have to say, save your money or pay the extra to have it installed. It was definitely not worth the hassle, and now 1/4 of my clickwheel that no longer works. I ordered it along with the extended battery. It shipped quick and got here, well, no battery. Luckily I called customer service right before close, and talked to Justin. He said shipping must've made an error and will get it sent out ...

I just installed the Ivue clear panel and the clickwheel but the Menu button does not work. Everytime I press it, it does what the center button does. Help!

dose anyone know if there is a guide to install the led your self or if someone can do it for me and how much it would cost i already have a ivue panel

Hey guys, I figoured I would give my two cents on this "MAGICAL" IVUE panel that is so "GREAT" Well let me tell you... I would let RR install it if you even think about buying it. Long story short my IPOD is broken beyond repair needs a whole new board. Basically I got everything installed perfectly fine no issues... I noticed hey the clicker wheel really sucks it barely even works, its very flimsy ...

has anyone ever had the professional installation and had it come back perfect? like it wasnt overlapping on the sides or the click wheel wasnt sinking down?

does anyone have any pictures of the ipod video with an ivue panel but a black OEM click wheel?

Hey guys,

So I was really excited about buying one of these clear faceplates (the pictures look great), but after reading through these forums I'm having second thoughts.

My biggest issue is that some people are saying that the clear faceplate does not sit flush with the metallic back -- i.e. that it 'overhangs'. This is an absolute dealbreaker for me, so I'm really hoping that this doesn't apply to the iPod video (mine is ...
