ipod battery install.
1) the new battery : the cord actually comes out from a different part of the battery, so it makes it so the new battery can't fit back into the space where it should. So I had to modify by cutting a bit of the plastic that holds it in place to make it fit.
2) No torques head screwdriver is included but it says one's included in the instruction sheet. I supposed you don't need one, and you can bend the heck out of the circuit board (someone is going to break their iPod this way and you can easily damage the thin wires on the battery).
3) The instruction sheet is printed with too large a dot screen, it's pretty useless for the detail photos.
4) The two tools to open the iPod work, and it doesn't take too much effort to get it open, but the instructions could include 1 more line in there that would solve a lot of problems for many. The actual tool doesn't go straight in, it needs to point down.
That's the harddrive, it's padded and nice.
Pulling out the old battery isn't that easy. Unplugging it can be hard, you'll have to work at it, and I can see someone breaking something from tugging too hard. Underneath the battery are some weird little mini circuit boards. Although I know they can be smaller, this is pretty small.
Overall, it's a simple operation. But it's not a smooth one, there are problems and like I mentioned, someone is going to break their iPod if they're not careful.

dear editor;
thank you for your fine entry in re: ipod battery replacement. i daresay that if someone was not careful, someone might accidentally poke someone's eye out! :)

I'll fix it for you! I bet I can do it. As a kid I often took things apart to figure out what was wrong with them. If a resistor or capacitor is out, I can't do shit about that, but small mechanical things, I can do, as long as I have tools!
Hey there. you don't say who you used but i used ipodjuice.com for my new ipod battery and their instructions were fantastic - color photos and the tool was slick, too. 10 year guarantee to boot. I will definately use them again for my next pod.
