My Problem
My beloved, five-year-old iPod was slowly dying -- the battery life was the terrible and I only had audio in one ear. I use my iPod every day while commuting to work and any time I need to drown out noise so I can get real work done. So, I was really missing my little buddy.
My Fix
The repair went well. The guide had lots of helpful pictures, pointed out gotchas before it was too late, and it gave me strategies for fixing the case when I bent a few bits here and there. I now have a lovely working iPod and have not had to charge it once since the repair, though I have been rocking out in stereo for four days thus far.
My Advice
The total parts cost, with shipping, was a tenth of what it would have cost to replace the device. So, it was definitely worth my time to attempt a fix. The parts are high quality and the instructions clear. Did I mention that I used to be an Apple Certified Repair Technician? Yeah. I know a good part when I see one. I am looking forward to another five years with my trusty iPod.
