Matchbox Mp3 Player

the story behind this is my sister was cleaning out her room and found an old mp3 player. "It doesent work " my sister told me so what do i do? i open it up and look at that the battery is disconnected. i put it all back together, made some plans and got my camera.
so that's how that happened and now here is another great Instructable. pink isn't my favorite color so i decided to give it a new case. turns out a matchbox is the perfect size.
