I’m fairly sure the logic board on my 80 GB 5th generation iPod has died, and I’d like to replace it. However, it’s quite difficult to find the recommended 820-1975-A logic board with 64MB of RAM. I’m curious, other then the loss of the SEARCH function (mentioned elsewhere on these forums), will the 820-1975-A logic board with 32MB of RAM work with the 80GB iPod? All my music is backed up on my computer, so reformatting the HD is not an issue. Thank you!

Morgan, yes it will. I have done it before and have not had any issues with it.
