iPod 80 gb 5th Generation battery replacement.

My Problem

My iPod quit working, after searching for a reason, found a possible answer on iFixit...bad battery.

My Fix

First battery did not work...so I went to the answer blog and after chatting with "oldturkey", who answered my question and suggested it may still be the battery. I called iFixit and the person who helped me reported that yes, it could have been a bad battery, sent me another and suggested I call if this one did not work and iFixit will help troubleshoot and to please take the old batteries to a recycling place. I just replaced the battery

and the iPod whirred back to life!! I'm very happy!! THANK YOU iFixit!!

My Advice

I read most all of the advice from others, so I knew to start at the bottom of the iPod...so read the advice section before you attempt anything so that you will not mess up your device.
