I fixed my own Ipod!

Mijn probleem

Very short battery life

Mijn oplossing

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.

Mijn advies

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.
