Anyone ever changed an iPod battery?

1 Answer

Answer :

I bought a Chinese battery replacement kit on eBay years ago. It’s a little bit difficult to pry the iPod open with the little plastic tool provided. I was a little fearful that I would break something because you don’t unscrew the iPod, you sort of “pop” it open with the pressure of your hands. Once it’s open, changing the battery and closing it again is a snap.
