PATIENCE! Can be a little hard to separate cover but it will come. Take your time and follow guide you will be successful!

My Problem

I need to replace both batteries

My Fix

The repair kits are in top quality condition and the guides are very easy to follow. I was able to change both batteries in less than 30 minutes.

My Advice

Don't go to repair shops, just go to Ifixit.com

My Problem

The old battery was dead

My Fix

The replacement went just fine

My Advice

Have some thin guitar picks to help split the case apart

They seem to help better than the tools I used

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/electronics is mainly changing light bulbs. I had one problem reconnecting the ribbon cable at the bottom end. It was rather simple once I got it. If I didn't have a challenge with that, the hour it took could have been cut in half, but I'm so excited at the results. Now it's like I have a brand new iPod. What a positive experience! Thanks!

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.

My Problem

I can't open my iPod U2 cause of dead battery so I try to open without any pre-information so I cut the hold switch button cable :/ but thanks to iFixit I cover both of them.

My Fix

It was pretty smoot. With little information about iPod U2 things got easier and easier. It took about 30 minutes. Bad thing about Headphone Jack is there is no coulor option so its look little bit non-original on iPod U2

My Advice

Don't use any extreme force.

My Problem

iPods like to be used regularly, not shut away for months (years) and then pulled out for occasional heavy use. Both my iPod Video and iPod Mini could only play 20 minutes before being out of juice. Charging them took longer and longer. New purchases were out of the question.

My Fix

Thanks to iFixIt, the batteries arrived faster than expected and the video tutorials made replacing the batteries a snap. I am happily back in heavy use mode with both!

My Advice

The step-by-step photos were essential to my repair experience. Once the batteries were inserted, it was a shocker to read something along the lines of "to complete the repair, follow instructions in reverse" - an abrupt end to the hand-holding repair experience. I would have felt better about coming to that notice if I was told up front that the instructions would take you in, but not out.
