Post by: Kindguy on October 17, 2006, 10:16:43 PM

What kind of HD to buy for JB3? Mine is a stock 20g

Where should I buy it? Any help is appreciated.

Also is it a hard process putting the sowtware back on the JB3?

Thanks!
Jeff

I picked up an 80 gig fujitsu from Newegg and did the swap a little over a year ago and it was no problem and that jb3 has been a great portable music player for me.

yep that display can easily get a little bitty chip in it and mess the display up.

i learned the hard way and had to replace one, which was easily done with a cheap replacement from ebay, but it still sucked
