iPod battery replacement

[SirKit Breaker]

Anyone had any experience of replacing iPod nano 4th generation batteries. I have been told its a sod of a job, but i am willing to give it a go if it isn't too bad. Can get battery and tools for less than a fiver off fleabay. Or is plan B, better, bung it on ebay as it is and get about £20 for it. It would be a shame to let it go so cheap as it is in perfect order other than the battery dying after an hour or so.

Cheers...................Howard

you need a fine tipped soldering iron and is a bit of a bitch to do tbh.

Changed the home button on my iphone 4 last week, that is a real bitch! It's pretty much the first component they put on the phone, meaning a complete strip down...

Do not take apart the ipad (or the one that isnt screwed as everything is glued)

Take pictures as you take it apart as it will mean a lot leas head scratching.

The chance is very high that there will be a detailed guide on either this or a complete teardown on

Ifixit

I have used it a lot in the past
