Thank you!! I am not mechanically inclined and was worried I would be buying a new iPod. But your video was clear and simple to follow and I am charging my new iPod battery inside my OLD iPod as I write this. Thank you!!!

[wolfsolent]

[omiejung]

[trainbuff65]

Dude, this was a perfect explanation and very easy to follow. I followd step bny step, paused it and replaced my battery in less than 15 minutes!!!! Also, thanks for not adding any incredibly annoying obscure background music to it!!!!!!!!!!!

[67ShelbyMustang500]

[sadeghi9308]

[armobabe2]

The battery on my mini has been running out really fast; and I know it will die soon, but i dont want a new ipod! I love my vintage mini too much! This video gave me a sense of hope

[fks1954]

[ouruhuru]

Exemplary video man. Thanks a bunch!

[bigphil088]

thanks for posting this vid.

[SuchaCaligrrl]

How much is the battery? and how do I know what generation I have? :( It has been a long time and I have gone throug many Ipod's because of problems like these, if I knew then what I know now I would not have thrown them away and bought new ones, but just replaced the battery. Is it cheaper if I bought new ones. I have the following IPod's that have this problem.

1. IPod mini (I think??)

2. Another one that is 15GB (???)

Please help.

[Burdinette]

where do i buy the new battery ? And the tool to remove it? What is the proper name for it?

Thanks

[jenikaw]

thanks paul! very straightforward, had no problems changing my battery. thanks again!

[pdons1]

Thanks, I had the battery replaced in no time.

[MTLbigJ]

i used this tutoirial to change my battery and it worked great! thanks....but instead of a paper clip you should use a thumb tack...its alot easier

[thigglingbottom]

Very well executed tutorial. I have had the iPod Mini since 2004 and this is the first time I've had to change the battery .... Thank you T H -UK 2010

[flokanz433]

what tool were you using?

[zoegem]

Thanks for the help! It was great!

[Instien1]

I LOVE YOU!! It was easy to follow and got the ipod to work! Thanks a bunch!

[Inferfire]

My ipod's battery died a long time ago and i tried to fix it (like four years ago). I took off the plastic top and tried to pull out the components but i tugged too hard and a piece was still connected, so i ended up ripping the pieces inside in half. It looked exactly like this one.

RIP mini...

[EmbryonicCrush]

TY, I followed your instructions and was able to replace by iPod battery while I was eating my breakfast! Fast and easy. Afterward, my iPod turned right back on without missing a beat.

[philylennon]

[atomcat]

vorallem wo bekomme ich einen neuen akku her?.

die kleinen schrauben lassen sich bei meinem pot nicht lösen, obwohl ich den richtigen kreuzer hab... ipot einfach vor die wand baller fertig ;D

[xXXMaybachXXx]

[MamiYare]

question i have the ipod nano and everything is fine except..now i do not have the luxury of moving the arrows to go to a next song..and if i want to i have to play with the hold button..and or put it in a certain spot in order for it to play..i dont know what happen

[tomtomrulz12345]

[fleawizard]

[bandersnatch101]

[tininanina]

Very Good, I would try it, Don't have nothing to lose... But I didn't understand the blow dryer part before and after. Can anyone help me out with this? :)

Thanks

[funnypapers08]

Thank you so much!!!

[nativeofEngland]

u are the man!!! awsome!!!!

[GgRrYyPpHhOoNn]

Thanks man. Very helpful.

[dickcheney6]

I gotta say, you've got guts. post something about the 2nd gen Ipod nano on how to replace the batteries in that one. Allow me to rant though, why does it have to be so darn difficult to do this. On older ones you could just pop the shiny back off, replace the batteries and be done with it.

[iscrewedyourmum]

that aint a ipod nano its a ipod mini out the same time as the monochrome ipods

[LaMones87]

You are the man, Thanks alot you saved my ipod from ebay

[critiquer14]

nice

[cartman641]

Nice tutorial mate,but what are the chances of failure to replace the battery successfully?

[zzalybyrd]

big chance to fuck your ipod up!!!! lol

[cupmike]

Just installed a new battery for my 2nd gen. Thanks for the tutorial, very helpful.

[braziliangirlii]

u guys r idiots! the batteries for ANY ipod can be found brand new for less than $35 u just have to kno where to shop and know where are the reliable places to trust.

[kelbrat]

ipod mini?.hahahahahahahahahaa you must me ipod brick.

[R3DDIc3]

KAN IT ALSO HAPPEN TO THE VIDEO IPOD???

[cricket299]

im not gonna try that

[willie498]

and i wouldn't take it the apple store because?

[hankerzzz]

cause it would cost you 100 bucks

[willie498]

it would still cost alot to get the battery though :I

[Stephenmtats]

you have had it longer than a year and your gurentee has ran out

[willie498]

my ipod is only 6 months old :I

[dickcheney6]

It is the guarantee that your ipod WILL brake when the warranty runs out

[zpenguin65]

who the hell would try to do this their self and y is this on youtube?

[nawanilakgaP]

PLEASE!!!! I need 5th Generation

[blocktheshot]

[oreganolort]

[Renelwd93]

[thatguyabc]

[dazedicer]

U have to do all that just to replace a battery.Good thing i dont own a crappy ipod mini.
