My iPod is back to life!

by eedumas

My Problem

My 4th Gen ipod, that I got free with a powerbook I purchased in 2004, had finally given up the ghost. It just wouldn't hold a charge.

My Fix

It was a little tricky opening up the case, but after applying a little extra elbow grease I got it open. The spudger I got helped in those hard-to-reach situations.

My Advice

Buy yourself a spudger! I do occasional Mac repairs, and metal tools always end up scratching components. I've been dying to have a spudger, and it works great!
