It gets a lot easier after you've done it a few times. :-)

i will just say that i used a knife to open the case as the pry tool was too weak, but i have changed the battery successfully. It can be done with patience and a calm temperament.

thank you for making this video i watched it a couple of times and i got my battery and put it in with no prob

@paradoxo88 yeah..be careful..I ended up getting impatient with my Gen 5 and bent the fuck outta the silver back. and I even messed up one of the cables making it impossible for the unit to access the Harddrive..but I just need a new ribbon..so I just ended up buying the Gen 3..because it's simply better, faster, stronger.

This was the best video for 3rd gen. I did notice you pulling on the cables to unfit, like with the battery cable. A little dicey. How long does the NEW battery expect to last in real world time..Like using 75% general volume and playing .aiff or uncompressed. Does that harddrive or a harddrive from Gen 5 ipod swappable in the Gen 3?

Magic is easy once you know the secret ...
