-
Fill a pot or pan with enough water to fully submerge an iOpener.
-
Heat the water to a boil. Turn off the heat.
-
Place an iOpener into the hot water for 2-3 minutes. Make sure the iOpener is fully submerged in the water.
-
Use tongs to extract the heated iOpener from the hot water.
-
Thoroughly dry the iOpener with a towel.
-
Your iOpener is ready for use! If you need to reheat the iOpener, heat the water to a boil, turn off the heat, and place the iOpener in the water for 2-3 minutes.
-
-
-
Lay the iOpener over the plastic tab to loosen the adhesive. Let the bag sit on the device for approximately 90 seconds before attempting to open the panel.
-
-
-
Use a plastic opening tool to pull the rear plastic cover away from the device until there is enough room to insert a spudger.
-
Insert a spudger under the cover, then pry it up and away from the device.
-
Remove the rear plastic cover from the iPod.
still broke the antenna its very easy too
-
-
-
-
Use a spudger to press the midframe screw tab up and out of the rear case.
-
-
-
Use a metal spudger to carefully pry near the Lightning connector and under all parts of the front panel assembly: the front glass/digitizer, the LCD display and the metal midframe.
This step is extremely difficult to do... How am I supposed to manage to lift the frame with the LCD screen without potentially causing damage to the LCD screen?
Yeah, I did run into a roadblock with that too, so I’ll have to find a heat gun (or iOpener) and see if I can use that to loosen the frame.
Hello, My name is Michael , in this moment I destroyed one of the lines of the screen, because in this point every connector it is the right side , so I advice start for the another side , left up through right down side i think is the better way.
it is the shame for me.
This is quite bad way to separate the display from the housing. Many people will destroy the touch panel ribbon or the LCD. It is far better way that you insert very thin(~0.5mm) plastic card (do not use metal tool) to the gap between the housing and the iron LCD mounter, and the do as written.

-
Pull the front panel assembly slightly down and partially out of the device.
STOP! DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS UNTIL AFTER STEP 14 IF YOU VALUE NOT SEVERING THE LCD CABLE! Just please, please be aware that the battery cable CANNOT be disconnected, be careful!
-
-
-
Pull up on the battery pull tab to free the battery from its adhesive.
Disconnecting the battery from the lcd screen can ruin the battery,
so why do that if you are just replacing the digitizer?
rather just open the six screws and disconnect the digitizer.

-
Remove the two 1.4 mm Phillips #000 screws from the sleep/power button bracket.

Fixing the headphone jack is super hard. I've been working on mine for a few months. And Basically I ordered the part on ebay (headphone jack, the power button is attached) and I pulled it apart, opened the ipod and swapped everything out (pay close attention to where pieces go cause there's no YouTube videos on how to do it yet) but there is a small piece attached to the ribbon cable near the headphone jack (it's square shaped, with looks like little grid thing, not sure the name) and it has to be perfectly lined up and contacts have to be touching for the power button, volume controls, an headphone jack to work. And that's where I'm stuck cause you can't use adhesive or it will block the contact points. So if you can find someone to replace your ipod parts it will be much easier.
Good catch! looks like a step mysteriously disappeared, I edited step 24 to include removing the four other logic board screws.
As someone who had a "waiting on parts" break between the disassembly and reassembly I had time to lose some of those microscopic screws, I appreciate they are listed with quantities and the ir sizes!
Using that information I will be able to identify what screws I need to purchase to replace the ones that I doubt made it too far, but they are just too small to see them there.
The bluetooth antenna was also disconnected from the logic board (button snap-like connector) and it's single1.4mm screw removed holding the antenna ribbon cable to the metal case before the screw was removed from the 3.5 audio jack and the 3 from the lightning jack and the last one in the logicboard.
Hello..i just tried to replace battery for ipod-A1446..and i mistakenly ripped off the P- and P+ copper pads given for the battery..any suggestions to replace back the coper pads?
get a new battery if you ripped it off the flex cable. Get a new logic board if you ripped the pads off the board (which can happen).
Mine had a lot of metal that I did NOT see in this guide, and a few more screws. Which gives the Nano 7th gen a repair rating of -3. on a 1-10 scale (at least on my book).
