My Problem
Ipod stopped holding charge, even after hours of charging.
My Fix
As a woman fixing my own ipod was a little bit intimidating. However, the pictures and tutorial steps were absolutely perfect! The hardest part for me was definitely getting the case open and then removing the glued original battery.
My Advice
Take your time and go slow. Don't be afraid or get frustrated, have patience. Be sure to read the tutorial carefully and be gentle with the ribbon strips. You can use other tools such as a flat head screwdriver or tweezers, but just be careful not to scratch or be too rough. Best wishes! You can do this.

My Problem
The battery in my iPod video (6 years old) went completely dead one day. I know, after 6 years I should just go buy a new one, but I wasn't ready to drop that kind of money. Found iFixit and thought for $15 it was worth a try.
My Fix
The repair was much easier than I was anticipating. The tools that came with the battery were perfect for the job. After some charging, the iPod works again. Only problem is that the new battery never fully charges. It always looks like it's about 1/3 drained. Either way, it still saved me a few hundred bucks.
My Advice
Give it a try. The step by step instructions were a big help. I'm not the handiest person and even I was able to figure it out.
My Problem
After 6 1/2 years, the playtime on my fully charged 30GB video iPod had reduced to about 30 minutes. Since the iPod still worked and there was plenty of room to add media to it, I thought I'd give battery replacement a whirl.
My Fix
The battery seemed to arrive overnight. The directions are super easy mostly, especially for someone whose experience with electrical/elec
My Advice
It would help to have an enhanced close up pic and/or some more detail on how that ribbon cable I mentioned interacts with the clasp when reattaching. Just bend the end of that cable and stick it straight down to bottom of the slit. Hold it there while applying firm pressure to clasp with corner of tool or tweezer. I think there's a bit of click, if in feeling only. All is well when cable is secured in clasp.
My Problem
It was so noisy and squeaky it rattled my brain.
My Fix
It went very smooth and fast thanks for very clear interactions.
My Advice
I would advice anybody to try to fix it by themselves, Instead of taking it to a repair shop or sending it back.
