  • What kind of screwdriver were you using? I have some mini screwdrivers but the screws are still a little small to get

    

  • @PapaGeorg10 Eyeglass repair kit screwdriver. 

  • Where do you buy the seperate part? I need another because only one works and its a 30 gb btw

  • @evilmagic43 You buy the replacement headphone jack at Amazon.com or any other online retailer. It only cost me about $7 on Amazon too! :) I just recently had to replace the battery in my iPod Video, and the battery was very inexpensive as well at only $12 on Amazon.

  • thaks, works just fine :)

  • Ahh...too many steps. I'll just buy a new one.

  • is this the same for an 8th gen? and is it safe to open the back without damaging the ipod ?

  • Thanks very much for posting this video. One of my headphones was not working on my 30GB iPOD. I saw this video, ordered the parts above on Amazon, and it took me about 30 minutes to change. (I had a few issues with the very small screws) But, I did not pay for another iPOD so I only spent like $7. My pod is back to normal again. Yay!!!

  • I can't thank you enough for making this video. Excellent instructions Sheety

  • Sheety,

    Thanks for the instructions. I followed everything you said except I use a word of caution to those who are following this video and other on an Ipod video. There was more glue or sticky stuff on the back of the battery than is shown here on my ipod. I used a screwdriver as Sheety does but since there was more glue, I forced it and punctured the battery.

    Use a guitar pick or a plastic tool to pry it out so you don't have to buy a new battery like I did. $8-9 but still a pain :/
