I fixed my own Ipod!

Mein Problem

Very short battery life

Meine Reparatur

I found it much more difficult to get the Ipod apart than the repair guide made it look. However, I found that with a little persistence, I was able to get it open.

Mein Rat

Be persistent. It will take a few (or maybe 10 or 12) tries to get the first corner of the Ipod open enough to separate the pieces. Once the first corner is done the Ipod basically comes right apart.
