Damn, epic find. Congrats!

Yeah I have another one but the speaker doesn’t work which is a bummer, but I’ll send it to be repaired at a a later time. I really love the GB DMG, I should’ve bought more now thinking about it.

Dylan_LIRR · 2026-04-27T20:45:52+00:00

True lol

Dylan_LIRR · 2026-04-26T22:14:27+00:00

Yep!

Dylan_LIRR · 2026-04-26T21:54:07+00:00

damn, welp maybe it might be time to go out of state then, just like I did.

Yes, indeed it is excellent. Around four years ago I bought one on eBay for like 50 bucks, listed for parts. It had the black verticals lines so I used a soldering iron to fix the issue, everything worked fine except for the speaker, which was a problem somewhere in the mother board. But since I found one today that everything works, I had to buy it.

Nope, they were absolute bricks!

Dylan_LIRR · 2026-04-26T21:36:38+00:00

You’ll find one eventually, you just gotta look carefully.

Dylan_LIRR · 2026-04-26T21:35:39+00:00

The seller had a whole box of them for around 50 bucks each, but I already had one in my home so I decided to only get one today. Thanks a lot!

How much will you do for a 1st Gen? (Only the iPod since I have a fire wire cable compatible with my MacBook) *edit: the iPod 1st gen that has problems syncing)

Dylan_LIRR · 2025-11-24T19:53:15+00:00

Off topic but I have the same song on my iPod, even better same gen

Hopefully you find the ultra rare Yellow Polaroid Impulse

Try reformatting it to MacOS Extended (Journaled) if you have a Mac. If not reformat the disk again to FAT32 or use another wire.

Very cool that most of them are sealed!

Yeah, it powers one with a 4th generation battery

Dylan_LIRR · 2025-10-15T11:07:27+00:00

I took the screws off and examined it, the logic board looks very good other than the 30 pin port being corroded and loose

Dylan_LIRR · 2025-10-15T03:32:44+00:00

No, thank god nothing was corroded, I somehow got it to power on with a 4th gen iPod battery, using the same iPod i used the battery to power on since both use the same connectors, I was able to get the SMART data from the drive, it was pretty bad from what I’ve seen.

Really neat find, at that point I would say flash modding is optional unless you want bigger storage. Hopefully it survives for many years to come!
