Changing the battery in a 30gig ipod video

Decided I wanted a higher capacity battery for my ipod video, managed to find a 650mah one for a reasonable price.

Next step is how to fit it

get some non marring tools to open your ipod with and its pretty simple and will easily take less than 15 minutes

first of all put your ipod on hold, so that it doesnt come on whilst you are changing the battery, then using your tools, starting at the top use a prying motion and open the ipod




When you have pryed round the entire top and sides on the ipod, there are two clips at the bottom once these are free the back of the ipod is nearly free, next disconnect the battery connector





The ipod case can not be opened and placed next to the bulk of the ipod, the battery is stuck down at the top of the case, gently remove it being careful not to rip any of the ribbon cables, push the new battery onto the adhesive pads, reconnect the battery ribbon cable and clip the ipod back together, charge the ipod up for four hours and you have a ipod with a new battery!
