RE: V2 of Epod Hack!

["Phil Harris" <phillip.harris1@xxxxxxx>]

It can happen ... however there is a last ditch fix put it does involve
opening up the case and doing some soldering.

Ultimately if you're worried about breaking it then don't mess with it too
much and only do the CE Shell 1.02 hack ... then hard reset will get you
back to an ePod. It's the CE Shell 2.0 hack that is the
"dangerous" one.
