extremely delicate internally, especially older iPod Classic models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring installation, there is always risk involved when opening the device and working

courtesy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany customers prefer keeping their original parts for future restoration, backup, or collection purposes, and I fully respect

device is received.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause we also handle other active repair and restoration services at the same time, some projects may occasionally require additional time depending on current workload, testing, or parts compatibility verification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur priority is always quality, careful assembly, and proper testing rather
