I hate to say it, but this didn't work for me. I used this and the tutorial on the badgizmodo website and by the end, my zune 120 failed to start up. It also made a sizzling noise which i think was a short circuit when I tried to touch the black wire to the already soldered section after the other 3 wires were on. I wish this tutorial would have been a little more specific on the to do's and the to dont's.

@j9qw Make sure that none of solder points are touch each other this will cause it to not power on.

I've checked and rechecked, the solder is not touching each other. They're all in the correct place and the zip cord is back in place. I can't figure out what went wrong.

I'm trying to pry apart the front and rear panel and I can't seem to get in between them. I noticed in the video that you already have a bit pried open...Could you give me a tip on how you did that?

Thanks, helped a bunch, just replaced the battery on my mom's 2nd gen 120gb Zune. Everything works like a charm.
