There is also a thin layer of foam crap on the board side of the drive to insulate it \
from the mother board. If that doesn't come off well, just put in a piece of card \
stock. In electronics it is know as "fish" paper. Just to keep things from going \
sparky-sparky.
Hey, did you know that the iPod uses the same family of processors as Apple's Newton \
(see what I did there?).
