Thank you for this video. Other methods were failing me badly, but I have my new battery in and charging. Thanks so much!

The third gen Nano is equally if not more difficult to open up.

[evllox]

Dude you did the best demo of unplugging the IPod case I would tell my friends to indeed have a look at this clip and yes heres your Thumbs up THUMBS UP times a 1000000 .... Lol

[GSRJosh33]

Guitar picks work best and leave no signs of opening.

[meepins]

I just finished fixing mine thanks to this video. Cheers.

[TheBillswill]

excellent, is there a substitute for the plastic green ipod battery removal tool? in a pinch - do i have an alternative?

[artman102]

Please wear Leather gloves when using these sharp tools.  They will save your fingers.

[artman102]

No, you can not replace the USB dock connector. But you can clean it with 100% alcohol and a toothbrush. Back and forth gently about 50 times.

[robgutz12]

hey how would i replace the 30 pin dock connector and do you know if it will work if i put the connector from a 2nd gen ipod video (the thin one that came in white and black) onto my ipod classic 160gb. Thanks!

[Treforful]

Many thanks for this video, really helped me a lot.

[rickscal]

You nailed it. Great video. Thanks!

[Zevvion]

Thank you. Clear explanation, step by step. It's also nice that you show what you do instead of only explaining it. I was able to open my iPod Classic 160GB thanks to this video. I ordered the opening toolset, but was unable to open it with that, the iPod was closed to tight as you explained. Knives worked great.

I would like to add something that worked for me, which was shoving a small screwdriver into the side first to loosen it up a bit. With the exception of that I did exactly this. Thanks

[The69win]

Awesome video, I probably would have spent hours trying to figure this out, it helped a lot. thanks!

[reptilia82]

Excellent! thanks for the upload man 10/10

thumbs up!!

DO NOT try this with a box cutter. You don't want to know what this iPod does to a box cutter. Basically, the box cutter lost and I give up. To the garbage with you, crappy Apple product that still hasn't dried from the rainstorm that was two months ago despite hardly being wet because you were in my backpack!

@WheresxYourxHeart Please wear Leather gloves when using these sharp tools. They will save your fingers. (My wife's idea!)

[als4621]

@artman102 This is by far the best method to open the ipod classic without damaging it. Thank you very much for sharing this! It worked like a charm!

[thejamzron]

Where did you get thoses knives from ?...the one I tried to use the blade kept braking and I still have not been able to open my iPod Classic in the past two months..I have the new battery and have not been able to install it...like you said the first time opening is difficult because i have not been able to get anything in between to even start opening...I think the proper type of tool is important

[artman102]

@thejamzron

I got a complete set at Harbor Freight for about $30. You can also find them on Ebay.

thanks

@artman102 Thanks for the advise...once I get those right tools I'll give it another shot

[Panoman14]

Thank you! I got a friend's open injury free and replaced the battery!

[vteckiller101]

[AlphaSphere]

I just want to throw it against the wall to crack that sucker open.

[Matzaco]

I just Splice My Finger but hey my Ipod is finally Opened !! thank You.

[artman102]

@Matzaco I'm very sorry to hear that. I hope it is not serious. Please, everyone be very, very careful.

[chuparrete]

dude you rock best method ever!

[n2learn]

I appreciate you taking the time to make this video

[jeffsqu3]

this is the most detailed 6th generation front plate and back plate disassembly i have seen. i wish i had seen this earlier as i had already made a scratch on my ipod.

two thumbs up.

thank you for making the video.

[cesarterrones]

you made a very good video about how to open a ipod, i did it was very easy to open my ipod. thanks

[ShinigamiSirius]

Thank you so much. This very clear walk through helped my through my first 6th gen disassemble. Before I got to this vid I was ready to throw it at the wall, and I had already chipped off a lot of the paint on the side of the black faceplate, lol. Thanks again!

[tehedx]

Thanks for clarifying, this method looks a lot less scary than the one on ifixit.com

[markkussusa]

Nice and thorough walk through. Thanks lots!

...

(My headphones broke inside the port, and the tip of the jack is at the very bottom of the port.

Q: If I open the ipod, can I push that piece out of the earphones port or that's inaccessible?)

[artman102]

@markkussusa

Yes, once you get it open, you can access the headphone jack. Likely the screws came loose and just need to be screwed back in. I can ship you a complete tested jack assembly for $12 if you need one.

Thanks for the comment.
