Step 2
¶
Opening the iPod can be challenging. Do not get discouraged if it takes you a few tries before the iPod is opened.
Free the first retainer clip on the bottom of the iPod using the iPod opening tool. The tool's edge should point towards the metal back case to prevent scratching the plastic front.

Step 3
¶
There are five retaining clips on each side of the iPod. An iPod opening tool will be used to separate the plastic front from the metal back of the iPod.
Insert the iPod opening tool into the left side of the iPod, with the edge of the tool pointing towards the metal back.
Gently enlarge the existing crevice by wiggling the iPod opening tool and moving it to the left.
Continue doing so until the entire side of the iPod is loose.
You can then insert an iPod opening tool near the Hold button. Be very careful while inserting the tool, as the display is very fragile.
