DIY guide to replace your iPod battery
from: James TureseiPods are a great invention, however many have complained about
the lack of playtime and poor battery life. Previously,
replacing an iPod battery was next to impossible. So when your
battery dies, its time for a new iPod. This of course proved to
be extremely expensive. As a result, manufacturers have begun
producing aftermarket iPOD batteries for a DIY conscious
producer. There are even high capacity batteries that will
basically give you more playtime on your iPod in comparison to
the original iPod batteries. An even better incentive to replace
that dying battery! I know what you're thinking, you don't want
to rip apart that shiny iPod of yours! Aftermarket iPod
batteries were designed to make the installation as simple as
possible (it wasn't really all that difficult to begin with
anyway). Since the batteries installation doesn't require any
soldering, the most difficult part is opening up the physical
case. Since the iPod doesn't contain any screws, the casing must
be pried off in order to access the internal battery. I do not
recommend using a screwdriver to do this as it will damage the
case. A guitar pick has been recommended to do the job, but even
better, some batteries come with the non scratch nylon tools
required to open your iPod safely.
Below are some instructions on how to install your battery. I am
aware that there are more than one Steps to install the battery:
* Lay your iPod on a piece of cloth o non scratch surface. Using
your non scratch tools, slowly insert it under the cover and
begin to pry off the cover. You should hear it begin to open.
Work your way by sliding the tool all around the edges.
* The iPod is basically made of two halves. With both halves
separated, put the empty shell aside.
* The other half will have all the internal components in there.
You should be able to spot the battery in there. You will see
that the battery is connected to the main circuit board of your
iPod. Carefully unplug the old battery by pulling on the end of
the connector.
* Get your new battery and plug in into the connector socket on
your iPod's circuit board. The connector will only go in one way
so do make sure you insert it the right way up.
* Once it's all connected up, put the cover back on by pressing
the edges of the two halves together.
* Plug your charger in and let your new iPod charge up for at
least 4 hours. All new batteries should get a longer than normal
charge the first time around.
* Now you're ready to enjoy your music once more!
