Introduzione

Rimuovi la copertura posteriore per accedere alle componenti interne.

Strumenti

Passo 1

Accedere alle componenti interne dello Shuffle di quarta generazione è estremamente difficile, in quanto la copertura posteriore è sia incollata, sia fissata con dei ganci in metallo a quella anteriore. È molto improbabile riuscire a rimuovere la copertura posteriore senza causare danni estetici e/o strutturali.
Prima di procedere, assicurati che il tuo Shuffle sia spento.

Passo 2

Usa una combinazione di strumenti di apertura per iPod e spudger in metallo per fare leva sulla copertura posteriore nella fessura più vicina all'interruttore di accensione.

I managed to open mine using no tools at all so without damage. Maybe the glue also weakened over time so might need to use some heat. I didn’t but then again it’s a second hand, old device in my case.

I used the clip on the back as a leverage to (ever so slightly) bend the back piece in the center. Having that bend is enough for the very small clips on the power switch side to detach. Once that side is removed you can slide the complete back out towards the direction of the power switch. I checked on a flat surface and the piece isn’t damaged, still straight. Just don’t keep it bend too long and don’t over bend it. It really shouldn’t take much since those notches are really small.

To close it again just slide the back side in again and then snap the power switch side back in place by lightly pressing it on top. Since the clips aren’t damaged this way it will close up nicely. If the notches got damaged you’ll have to use glue instead (hot glue will do and is easily removable again).

what do you mean by bend the back piece in the center?! How do you do that exactly? Did you stick something in between the back piece and the clip and press in?

I completely agree with Ha ns' comment. I really cannot understand how the author managed to open this device as described. There must be something like a 0.1mm gap between the housing and the cover, impossible to enter a spudger or pry tool. Use a lever on the hinged side of the clip to lift the cover, insert a 0.2mm plastic film or a thin plectrum or spudger on the bent center of the cover. Avoid to push the spudger down, as there are electronic components underneath, only lift the cover, without overbending. Move over to the side of the on/off switch, and release the 3 clips. On the other end an 8mm long nose will avoid lifting off the cover. You will have to slide it out horizontally. Clearly: you have to be very very careful and gifted...
