Internal MOD - No sweat

Heading to Europe next month and i realized that there's no way i would have enough memory cards to last me the trip. That was when i remembered my old H320. I didnt feel like messing with cables so i decided to do the internal mod.

Opened her up and finally got to the side of it that hid the usb port. Its right under the screen - when i opened up the iriver i popped the back off, so i was forced to remove the battery and HD to get to it.

I followed this pic http://godzilla.disca.upv.es/~spetit...ooded-h320.jpg to do the mod. I have very little soldering skills but i managed to connect the 5v to the port. Make sure you get a really tiny wire, it looks big on the picture but its not.

Another issue i had is that i accidentally disconected the ribbon cable for the LCD. Watch out for it because its a pain to connect it again.

Otherwise, brought it home, connected the converter cable (USB mini to USB)i got from iriver a while ago, and tada. It works!

If anyone has questions feel free to PM me.
