Hello,

I have a black 80GB iPod Classic 5.5 and a white 30GB iPod Classic 5.5

The black one freezes on the apple logo startup and has a bad battery. I am assuming a bad hard drive?

The white one has a bad screen and a bad battery.

I am looking to replace both batteries, both hard drives, and the display on the white one. My only problem is there seem to be so many cheap chinese parts out there I am nervous about buying.

Does anyone have a good list of links to iPod classic parts you trust? Any help/advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

I would buy from established websites like idemigods and iflash.
