Photos: Inside a Microsoft Zune

By Mark Kaelin on 02 January 2008

After removing the lightweight, sturdy back plate, one of the first things you'll notice about the inside of the Zune is that there are three more tri-wing security screws holding the housing in place.

The battery is similar to almost all of the small devices we have cracked open. If they are all made by the same manufacturer, that company must be really busy.

The manufacturer of ribbon cables must be busy too. Like the iPods, the Zune uses them for internal connections.
