Introducción

Retira el panel posterior para acceder a las partes internas de su Shuffle.

Herramientas

Paso 1

Acceder a las partes internas de la 4ª generación de Shuffle es extremadamente difícil, ya que el panel posterior está pegado a la caja frontal y está asegurado con clips de retención metálicos. Es muy poco probable que puedas quitar el panel posterior sin causar daños estéticos y / o estructurales.
Antes de continuar, asegúrate de que su Shuffle esté apagado.

Paso 2

Usa una combinación de herramientas de apertura para iPod y spudgers metálicos para separar el panel posterior del Shuffle por la costura más cercana al interruptor de ENCENDIDO / APAGADO.

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...
