I had a Shuffle that went dead on me. Seeing that it was out of
warrety, I opened it up. I uploaded the scans of the internals to
http://peter.olson.googlepages.com/ipodshuffleinternalpictures . I'm
hoping to collect a repository of information there. Right now I just
have the pictures, but I'll be adding comments soon.
