My Ipod Mini Has Been Resurrected

Remember my Ipod Mini had crashed some weeks back, and the silly visit to the service centre wasn't any help except a pathetic suggestion to purchase a new Ipod instead of repairing it. D did some research and found a way to change the original 6Gb Hard Disk on my dead Ipod Mini while he was in NYC. All I need to do was to pay for the replacement battery and a new hard disk, so that D could do the repair on his own. I had a choice between 4Gb or 8Gb hard disk, but decided to buy the 4Gb one. Reasons being: I will not really utilise so much memory space just for mp3; and most importantly, if the repair isn't successful, I will not feel the monetary pain. Anyway, the new batt and the 4Gb hard disk cost HK$250 and HK$730 respectively, which came up to a grand total of HK$980. Under HK$1k? Definitely better than the extravagant suggestion at the service centre. Last night, D spent some time to figure out what he needed to do while following the instructions given in the CD which came with the replacement batt. I went into his den a couple of times but didn't dwell too long 'cos D doesn't like to be disturbed when he is doing something. I saw his deep concentration, and later saw his broad grin as he gave me my Ipod Mini. It is working perfectly well today. I am so glad he had taken the time and effort to do this, especially since last night was my b'day. Fixing my Ipod is one present that really makes my day. I feel kinda bad that I didn't trust his skills enough to have chosen the 8Gb hard disk for him to fix onto my Ipod Mini. But then again, 4Gb is enough really.
