Einleitung
Diese Anleitung zeigt dir, wie du ein abgenutztes Aluminiumgehäuse austauschen kannst.
Was du brauchst
-
-
Setze die Kante eines iPod Öffnungswerkzeugs in den Spalt zwischen äußerem Gehäuse und der oberen Blende ein.
-
Hebele die obere Blende aus der Klebeverbindung zur Displayhalterung heraus.
-
-
-
Entferne die beiden abgewinkelten Kreuzschlitzschrauben in den beiden Ecken der Displayhalterung.
Be sure to use a good phillips #00 screwdriver here, or you run the risk of stripping the very small screws.
Like others have noted, screws are covered in adhesive and difficult to remove. Take extreme care to not strip the heads. I'd suggest using a very small flathead to scrape some of the adhesive off before attempting to remove the screws.
The tools list doesn't say you need an iPod opener to, nor does the parts list day you'll need a new click wheel, though this is called ”...click wheel REPLACEMENT”. I don't get the feeling these are very trustworthy instructions, ESPECIALLY after having read other comments. I'd say BEWARE, and look at a variety of resources to get a much more comprehensive picture.
Actually, the screws are not aligned with the edges of the iPod, which means that you must not try to unscrew them vertically. If you do there is a good chance that you damage the head of the screws. Thus look carefully with a torch to see at what angle you have to unscrew them.
Actually, the screws are not aligned with the edges of the iPod. That means that if you try to unscrew them vertically, there is a good chance that you damage the head of the screws. Thus, look carefully with a torch to see exactly at what angle you need to unscrew them safelly.
Everything was good up to this point. I could barely see the screws and ended up stripping them. Just gave up at this point and threw the
Ipod on the ground and stomped on it.
I agree with several other contributors here, that a properly sized flat screwdriver *that is not worn* held at the correct angle is a better option than a phillips because the screw head is filled in with adhesive tape. BEWARE: The screws on the top and bottom outer edges are not parallel to the case. They are offset by 25 or 30 degrees, with the tips of the screws pointing out towards the outer edge of the case with respect to where the heads are. Use something to get magnification so you can really see how your screwdriver fits, and whether it’s engaged. An undamaged and properly sized standard screwdriver held in the appropriate orientation will readily remove the top and bottom side screws without stripping and with very little force. Feel for engagement — press the screwdriver in just enough to get past the adhesive. Not much torque or pressure is required — just a good fit. You must have the right tools to do this job successfully, and look under high magnification. Align your screwdriver!
In accordance with another source, I have bought online and used a Phillips #0000 screw driver, which worked pretty well here. It costed me only $2 .
BEFORE REMOVING THE SCREWS spend all the time necessary to remove thoroughly the very sticky gunky glue from the screws, using a needle and gently scraping off absolutely every bit of glue on and around the screw. If you don't you will flatten the screws and this would make your ipod almost impossible to open. Once the glue is removed, and with a small enough screwdriver, it should NOT require force. Do NOT use use force!!! Or you will ruin the screws.

Schiebe die Displayeinheit mit dem Werkzeug etwas aus dem Gehäuse heraus.
My nano had a "swollen" battery which wedged the LCD between battery and front glass. As a result, this step didn't work, I couldn't pull out the TFT and botched case, TFT and TFT frame until it came out. Telltale sign was a display that looked like there is a water between glass and LCD. The other nanos I've opened didnt have this problem and came out effortlessly, so if yours is stuck, don't feel bad, there's not much you can do!
What to do if the upper metal base (which is fixed to the circuit with 2 screws) came off when extracted?
Which side can I anchor to force the display to exit?
I had the BAD idea of following the Parts Plus Pods tutorial for this step and he's quite a brute and removes the aluminium part then pulls it out then pulls again like a brute on the fragile metal bracket which tends break while damaging the button AND breaking the cable (all of which I unfortunately did). So this step is very important. The metal bracket that hold the button (under the aluminium display retainer being pulled on the photo) has to stay attached to the metal bracket under it.
"Do not rotate the display retainer about the top edge of the display" is a confusing statement. The axis of rotation mentioned is width axis, the only one you can rotate around. It's the rotation of the aluminium display retainer that happens when you pull exactly like on the picture. So keep pulling it EQUALLY on both sides (front/back of the device), the idea being to pull it like a drawer. Otherwise you risk breaking everything like I did.READ BEFORE DOING THIS STEP As soon you pull this up a bit, I recommend you do step 8 right away, which is ungluing the switch to free it and prevent either the hold switch or its cable from breaking in later steps. This is by far the biggest flaw of this guide. It is unfortunately not written for maximum damage minimisation. I broke the cable and the switch so please unglue the switch (as in step 8) so that when you pull the LCD screen you don't risk breaking the cable. If it breaks it's game over, so be careful!

Schiebe das Display aus dem Nano heraus. Es lässt sich etwa 1,3 cm weit bewegen, bis es vom Displaydatenkabel gestoppt wird.
instructions say 5" (inches) it really means 5mm
No it says .5" as in 0.5" = half an inch. But in your defence they should have written it more clearly, very easy to miss that dot, and yes pulling 5 inches would destroy the cable for sure!
Zitat von pedalsandpicks:
instructions say 5" (inches) it really means 5mm
If you're gonna repair the way you read it will get you nowhere: the text reads .(as point)5 inch. Which is about 12mm.
you didn't need to be snarky
The glass panel can be very difficult to get moving requiring a lot of downward force. I have found good old fashioned spit to be very useful here.Just lick both thumbs and rub on fingers until just sticky enough.
This willl move the glass.
READ BEFORE PULLING THE SCREEN This is step where you can easily break your second cable! (after the hold button cable from earlier steps.) DO NOT USE FORCE. Pull just enough like on the photo.
In my case, the battery was swollen (visible on the screen when it's off, it looks like there's water between the screen and the glass cover). I suspect as well that the LCD was glued against casing. It was beyond hard to pull the screen out. I ended up breaking the LCD screen by prying inside it instead of in front of it with a cut out piece of that transparent hard plastic everything is sold in (makes a great makeshift prying tool otherwise to unglue the cables gently). I don't know if an LCD screen can be removed without breaking it if he battery is very swollen. A way to avoid that in future is keep replacing your battery early enough and definitely at the very first signs of swelling. It will allow you to pull the screen super easily and not break it every time. -

Wenn das Display soweit wie möglich herausgezogen ist, kannst du vorsichtig auf die Unterkante der Glasscheibe drücken, bis sie ein wenig hereinspringt. (ca 1 mm)
-
Schiebe die Glasscheibe mit den Daumen auf der Unterkante nach unten in das Gehäuse hinein, bis die Oberkante aus dem Gehäuse herausspringt.
What is the "rear edge" of the nano? Can this be a bit clearer please? Maybe a video of this step would be a good idea. Then again, since Apple owns this site, I guess that's not gonna happen, is it?
I don't see "rear edge" anywhere in the instructions. I do see "lower edge" a few times and it looks pretty clear to me. I did this repair a couple years ago without much trouble.
You could do all these steps and really mess up your nano. Instead of disassembling the iPod, carefully remove the remnants of the old glass which I assumed you have cracked. With the new glass in hand CAREFULLY sand one edge of the glass evenly. I used my fine grinder on my dremel tool. After assuring a snug fit I removed the adhesive and installed the glass. Looks great and functional and I didn't ruin my iPod in the process. And when I said sand one edge I mean one of the edges that has a "lip" on it. The other lip you can slide right in and push gently down for a nice fit. Do not remove the adhesive until you are sure of a good fit. This is a quick fix for those who are too queezy to take apart their device.
My battery had expanded and pushed out the glass enough for me to peel the glue out like a battery pull tab on a phone so it was pretty easy to remove, but the screen is giving me some trouble. The expanded battery is holding the screen to the frame making it more difficult to remove.
Lieber Herbert,
schade, dass dir die Anleitung bisher nicht geholfen hat. Stand heute haben bereits 35 andere Nutzer ihr Gerät damit erfolgreich repariert, deshalb wäre es gut zu wissen, was genau bei dir nicht geklappt hat und wo es hakt?
Unsere Anleitungen werden nach dem Wikipedia-Prinzip geschrieben, das heißt du kannst auch selbst jederzeit noch zusätzliche Punkte hinzufügen oder Änderungen vornehmen, die besser beschreiben, was hilft, damit für diejenigen, die nach dir diese Reparatur versuchen, eine noch umfassendere Dokumentation zur Verfügung steht.
To get this right, the important bit is to not just press it IN and also TOWARDS YOU, with a bit of downward pulling grip with your thumbs.

Trenne den Hold-Schiebeschalter mit der Kante eines iPod Öffnungswerkzeug aus der Klebeverbindung zur Oberkante des Displays.

Das Flachbandkabel zum Hold-Schiebeschalter ist sehr empfindlich und kann leicht beschädigt werden. Arbeite sehr sorgfältig!
Be extremely careful while doing anything around the screen. The slightest bit of pressure in the wrong direction and you will be replacing the screen along with the battery. I speak from experience.
I was extremely careful… and, I broke the display! ~ Gah! ~ $18 for a new one on Ebay (half the price if I wanna wait 3-4x as long to purchase from overseas, twice the price if I buy it from this site!) ~ What a bummer! ~ The goal was to fix this for a customer, and instead I created a longer wait & obviously have to pay for the screen I broke. LISTEN TO BRIAN! BE CAREFUL! THE SCREEN _WANTS_ YOU TO BREAK IT! DON’T FALL FOR IT!
THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN BETWEEN STEP 4 AND 5, no point ungluing the switch this late. The earlier you do this the better to avoid breaking the hold switch cable by puling the screen...like I did...and others here too apparently.

Halte den hellgefärbten Sockel mit einem Finger nach unten und kippe mit der Spudgerspitze den Sicherungsbügel am ZIF Verbinder nach oben in Richtung Unterkante des Nano.
Continue to carefully hold the socket down while doing the next step. If the cable come off at the wrong angle it can pull the connector away from the board at the base of the screen.
Make sure to ZOOM IN to get this right, this picture is not clear otherwise.

Löse das Displaydatenkabel mit einem iPod-Öffnungswerkzeug von der dünnen Metallplatte ab, die am Display angebracht ist.
Some of the ribbon is inside the white housing with the lock on, it needs to slide out of the housing. I didn't notice this because everything is so small - be sure not to slide your pry tool right through it.
The display can actually be pulled out slightly further than it initially seems. When you gently pull it up, you'll experience some resistance, which I initially thought indicated it was as far as it could go. But an extra bit of (still very gentle) force can pull it up a few more millimetres, which means the opening tool can fit.
Also, it seemed to me to actually be helpful to lever the cable out of its port before removing the ribbon from the adhesive on the plate, since this allowed better access to the adhesive with the opening tool.
As commenter Brian Campbell wrote on the previous step, it is important to hold down the white cable socket while carefully working the cable loose from the adhesive. Even a small amount of upward force on the display data cable while it is still inside the socket could be enough to tear the socket off the board. Try not to pry up - use a thin, new (undamaged) opening tool to get under the ribbon cable and keep it parallel and as close to the metal plate as possible. It needs to be worked *under* the data cable, not to pry, as the cable just slides straight out the bottom of the white socket.
Instead of that tool which is not fine enough, I strongly recommend using those plastic stiffeners used to keep the collars of shirts straight, OR cut out a pointy shape from the hard transparent molded plastic used in commercial packaging, that made a great GENTLE and efficient prying tool for these glued cables.

Ziehe das Display aus dem Nano heraus, achte dabei darauf, dass sich das Kabel zum Hold-Schiebeschalter nicht verfängt.
WATCH THE HOLD SWITCH!! Be *sure* it is disconnected before pulling out the screen! (I've made that mistake too many times :P)
disconnected from what?
I never saw where it was connected to!
@fredrodolf Step 8: ungluing the hold switch, which really is best done much earlier between step 4 & 5, to minimize the risk of breaking it aka the mistake @itronicsrepair is talking about.
Oops!!!…..I managed to break the little ribbon cable going to the hold switch…lots of very “colourful“ words aimed at myself are in my head now.
You're not alone, it's a very common mistake, I just did it too. This guide is poorly written. Step 8 should between Step 4 and Step 5 precisely to avoid this. Once the cable is broken, it's game over. There's no replacing it.

Entferne die drei Kreuzschlitzschrauben an der Unterseite des Nano.
In my case, the screw on the left was impossible to remove, it looked like it was unscrewing but was not ... I could not proceed any further.
Any advice?
If a screw is stripped, you need to somehow get another under the head to apply pressure to unscrew it (while unscrewing it). It’s an unpleasant operation where you have to apply pressure to keep the screwdriver pressed into the head while prying outward so the threads back out. Try not to strip the head, and try not to strip the threads, while helping the threads to catch.
If this happens, you’ll need to replace the screw. It’s not a good idea to reinstall a stripped screw.
우선 하판을 들어내면 나사에 접착제가 있을거에요 핀셋같은걸로 충분히 제거하고나서 나사를 푸시는게좋을듯
Translation (From Korean): "First of all, if you take the bottom plate off, there will be glue on the screws. You can remove it with tweezers or something and then unscrew the screws."
I add: Yes, @jongjun307 is right. VERY IMPORTANT to use a needle and tweezers to thoroughly remove the glue first from the screws, otherwise your screwdriver won't fit and you will apply force by natural reflex and ruin the screws. The screws are supposed to unscrew off very easily, without force. VERY important as well to have a fine enough screwdriver, otherwise...again...you'll ruin the screws. -

Schiebe die Logic Board Einheit und den Akku mit dem flachen Ende des Spudgers ein wenig aus dem unteren Teil des iPod Nanos heraus. Höre damit auf, wenn er etwas herausspringt.
READ BEFORE DOING THIS STEP
PRECAUTION #1: How far to push the spudger in without breaking the electronics? Only about 3 cm in (or 1.5 inches for those from a country with a strange unit system), NO FURTHER, you will break the electronics further down. The glue is a 5mm strip going on the sides and at the top of the battery. There's not much of it so don't spudger like a brute or too deep.
PRECAUTION #2: READ THE NEXT STEP, you must NOT slide the battery down more than 1 cm (or half an inch!) or you will break the click wheel ribbon and it's GAME OVER. The clickwheel is impossible to find as a readily available spare part so pay close attention. This guide is so poorly written and doesn't emphasize enough avoiding ruining your Ipod with cable breakage that are soooo easy to happen if you're applying common repairing sense to this device designed to break if not fixed extremely carefully. -

No, don’t do step 17 without reading step 18 and 19 first! Step 17 is very misleading read on its own, you will break the connector. You need to read setps 17, 18 and 19 before starting step 17.
Pay heed to the word “peel”. Don’t pry. Work the tool slowly under the connector, keeping it as close to the board as possible. Don’t pry. The unit I repaired also had a small piece of Kapton tape, the corner of which can be lifted with tweezers.
Looks like I may have broken the little ribbon cable for the click-wheel, so, I might have to call it quits and spend another Au$260.00 on a new iPod Nano.
READ THIS BEFORE DOING THIS STEP
1) You don't need a special tool for this, or any step reuquiring to unglue ribbon cables. Just cut some of that hard transparent molded plastic from some packaging (it's thinner) or take-away food box (thicker and less ideal). It's gentle and thin enough to go tricky places and you can make it pointy or shape is as you like. that works for you to gently get under those glued ribbons and pull them out from the glue.
2) Makes more sense to do step 18 first, while the ribbon and socket+ribbon it goes into are still glued, then unglue them. So basically Step 18, then 17, then 19. -

Zitat von Mike:
You forgot to mention that the click wheel ribbon cable needs to be detached from the adhesive holding it to the main board. Now my iPod is really broken. Please review your instructions to include all the steps!
Mine too, but the iPod was already toast :D, so now i have a stylish 8GB External SSD
There has got to be a trick to it, or something I am missing when putting it back together. I can't get the click wheel ribbon to go back in properly. It keeps getting bunched up and sticking out the end. It is long enough to stick out so you can detach it from the other ribbon, so is it supposed to fold up inside when you push it in?
Does anyone know of a source of mainboards for this Nano. Preferably in the European Community or China? Every other part seems to be available but this one.
I've even found dud mainboards for sale on the U.S. Ebay site. What on earth would anyone do with a faulty Maiboard?
TOOLS: I've ben reading a few commments regarding difficulty wth the screws. I was also told the Phillips screwdriver isn't a true Phillips but has an offset leg. Not having seen one I can't comment with any certainty.
However,being an improvisor,I've been doing very well with a couple of watchmakers screwdrivers.The flat blades are about 1mm across and made of hard blued steel. The sharp corners dig into the screw and push any glue out of the way. A phillips won't push though glue. I used to buy these in a small plastic box - usuallly on street markets.
Well... beware, this part is tricky ! the click-wheel ribbon stuck and get cut when pulling the battery+motherboard out. Too bad :(
Anyway it was "last chance" for my 7-years old blue nano, battery wasn't providing more than 15 minutes autonomy.
Too bad, it was my fist iPod and I liked it much than my new 7th gen'.
Your photos are showing the wrong cable being removed from the zip lock connector and freed, you are not showing that the cable coming from the click wheel is disconnected and freed. Your photo is showing that the cable from the logic board is disconnected and freed. This means that when the logic board is removed, the cable to the click wheel breaks. Your text and warnings are correct, but your photos are misleading. Very bad compared to the rest of the instructions in steps 1 - 16, which are excellent and better than anything else I found. A shame to spoil it with this step. It is not sufficient to warn in the text that “both ends of the cable need to be freed”, you have to add a photo showing the click wheel cable has been disconnected and freed (and what do you mean by both ends of the cable need to be freed - there are TWO cables, one to the logic board, one to the click wheel and you are showing the wrong cable to the logic board as being freed.
Leider überlebte in meinem iPod der Verbinder für das Flachbandkabel des Klickrades das Öffnen und wieder Schließen nicht. Er kontaktierte nach Umklappen der Verriegelung nicht mehr ordnungsgemäß und hielt das Kabel auch nicht mehr wirklich fest. Das darf man aber einem über 15 Jahre alten Steckverbinder nicht wirklich anlasten. ;-)

Ziehe die Logic Board Einheit aus dem äußeren Gehäuse heraus. Achte darauf, dass sich die Kabel des Hold-Schiebeschalters und des Klickrads nicht verfangen.
My click wheel cable got sliced reinserting the logic board, so make sure your click wheel cable is on the front (like the instructions say), and not on the side. It would help if there were explicit reassembly instructions and not just "do these in the reverse order", so that special reassembly notes stand out more.
Instead of pulling it out, I found it easier to use the display hole to push on the top part of the battery straight down toward the bottom of the unit. This gives you far greater control of the battery/mainboard removal operation; you can push it out (down) in tiny increments and confirm no cables are caught as you do it. Pulling can cause a sudden, catastrophic release and if something is caught, it’s destroyed.
Das Problem ist, das sich der alte Akku aufbläht wenn er kaputt geht bzw. sehr alt ist und das Gerät so gut wie nicht zu zerlegen ist. Bei mir ging das Display und das Kabel des HOLD Schiebers kaputt weil alles so dicht gepackt war. Empfehle den Ärger niemanden bzw. vor der Akku Bestellung zu überprüfen, ob sich der Ipod prinzipiell zerlegen lässt.
Ein einziger Mist diese Anleitung es wird nicht hingewiesen dass man den Ipod Weg werfen kann wenn der Akku aufgebläht ist was meistens der Fall ist.
Bei einem aufgeblähten Akku muss man tatsächlich sehr vorsichtig sein. Ob das immer gleich heißen muss, dass man das Gerät wegwerfen muss, wage ich zu bezweifeln, ich würde zunächst einmal schauen, welche anderen Teile eventuell in Mitleidenschaft gezogen worden sind und ob die ebenfalls austauschbar sind. Falls du dich wirklich gezwungen siehst, das Gerät wegwerfen zu müssen, haben wir hier einige relevante Informationen zum Recycling von Elektroschrott zusammengestellt: How to Recycle End-of-Life Electronics.
Der Akku war auch bei meine iPod aufgebläht und somit ließ sich das Display nicht entfernen. Spannenderweise schrumpfte bei mir der Akku wieder beim Laden und in voll geladenen Zustand klappte das Zerlegen wie beschrieben.

Entferne das Klickrad vom Nano.
it's a good idea to use a spudger inside to loosen it, but make sure not to slip too far or you may scrape the outside of the clickwheel.
Be careful not to let the click-wheel slide on the metal plate supporting it, as it will break the flat cable. Apply force perpendicular to the click-wheel.
How is this a guide to replacing the click wheel? Everything you want to know about how to get it out, but not a word about how you "reverse the process" to get it back in again, especially what adhesive to use or how to make sure the metal plate ends up in the right place and doesn't inhibit the motion of the click wheel itself. If anyone has actually done this repair successfully, please post something!

Be sure to use the smaller iPod opening tool and press it in FIRMLY in order to get enough leverage to get under the bezel and pry it off. Adhesive is very strong, so don't be afraid to use a little bit of force.

I also had Problems to remove the bezel. The solution was to start with a very small screw driver from the hole of the switch. There I could lift it a bit and get the plastic tool in between. Than it was easy.

After replacing the battery, the old glue would lump up too thick, and also become too weak to fix the panel back to the outer case. I have scraped all the old glue off using a small flat head screw driver, and affixed a double sided adhesive tape cut into small strips, which was successful in both aspects.

TIP: Use a plastic tool and pull it out through the hold switch. This may break the top bezel, but this was the only way to get it off.
