Einleitung

Replace your iPod adapter if it's broken so you can charge your iPad/iPod/iPhone or play songs on the iD95.

  1. RxF6uNRLSRhILAai

    • Before taking apart the iD95, disconnect the AC cord from the wall socket and AC adapter from the DC jack. Remove any iPods, iPhones, and iPads attached to the device.

    • Flip over the iD95 so the bottom cover is visible and the LCD screen is facing you.

  2. EiomT3LtGUOSBasH

    • Remove the 10 mm-length, 5 mm-head screw using a Phillips #1 screwdriver.

  3. GyMkXvQjOhkQdQIR

    • Use a plastic opening tool to take out the backup battery.

  4. RR3CcHxETNGExeUJ

    • Unscrew five 17 mm-length, 6 mm-head screws using a Phillips #1 screwdriver.

    • The bottom cover is attached to the back cover by two plastic clips. Don't use excessive force.

    • Insert a plastic opening tool between the edge of the bottom cover and the main body.

    • Gently pry the bottom cover from the body. Start anywhere along the front side of the iD95 and work your way around.

    • Grip the bottom portion of the device and gently lift the front part of the bottom cover a couple centimeters up.

    • Potential for device damage: Be careful not to use too much force or you might break the plastic rings holding the side panels in place.

    • Lift up the bottom cover. Pull the side panel up first, out, and away from the device.

    • The side panels have plastic rings that will need to be lifted up and off the cylinders they are placed around.

    • Apply the same techniques from the previous step to remove the remaining side panel.

    • Locate the two plastic clips holding the bottom and back cover together.

    • Which clip you remove first is up to you. Rotate the device 90 degrees either left or right. Insert the flat end of a spudger horizontally between the back speaker and the back cover.

    • Place the flat end of the spudger behind one clip and pry it open. This may take repeated attempts.

    • This is the hardest step because the angle is awkward and the visibility is poor. If possible, have someone hold the device or provide lighting.

    • Once a clip has been removed, hold the bottom cover open so the clip will not fall back into place. One clip remains to be removed; you are almost there!

Great article. I have an iHome iDL95 and would like to swap the Lightening adapter with a 30-pin adapter so that I can utilize my iPod 5.5 Classic. Is this possible? If so, where do I obtain the required 30-pin replacement adapter? Thanks.
