  • The battery is glued to the iPod's display, but no screws hold it in place.

  • Flip the iPod 180 degrees so it matches the orientation in the picture.

  • Carefully insert the spudger in between the battery and the display. There are routing cables underneath, so make sure you slowly pry the battery loose.
