Insides of a 5th Generation iPod Video
Amy has a 5th Generation iPod Video which contains a faulty battery. Due to its age, the battery no longer holds a decent amount of charge. After looking on eBay we found a replacement battery for around $10 including delivery.
By following the guides on iFixit I was successful in taking the iPod apart without damaging anything. It’s not uncommon to bend the metal casing out of shape, but through careful prying using a plastic pry tool the case popped open easily.
The insides of the iPod Video are very compact, with the HDD and screen taking up most of the space. It is important to carefully watch the thin ribbon cables as they are easy to break.
