So my sister dropped my iPod Mini the other day and it from then on had the sad mac logo. So I ordered a new hard drive, then proceeded to open it up. Amazing how small that hard drive is. I pulled all the stickers off to get a glipmse of it. I was surprised to find that the metal case around the drive has many small slitted openings in it. So I poked the hard drive needle (while it was connected to the iPod. All of a sudden it started jumping! I suppose the needle just got stuck somehow because it works just great now. So.... now I have this extra hard drive on my hands..
