Assault a Battery
On the topic of music, the sound went really wonky on my free iPod, and in the firm belief that a free mp3 player is the best kind of mp3 player that one can possibly have, I took the damn thing apart in an attempt to figure out what is wrong.
It was an odd problem. The background music would play fine, but all vocals were muted/unintelligible. As my goal whenever I have passengers in the car is to laugh derisively at their polite and gentle attempts to get me to play their The Bobs or
The Police CDs and to generally be as much of an ass as possible when I have a captive audience, this was not acceptable in any form. (My philosophy here is that I am the driver, and therefore I am the jerkface poopyhead.)
Any instructions online that tell you the assembly and motherboard "slide out easily" from the metal case is a fat, filthy lie. I won't go into details save to tell you that getting it apart and putting it back together involved a lot of swearing and a hammer. Works fine now, though. And my assault on passenger eardrums with my choice of music continues.
