change batteries iPod Mini (4th generation)
A few years ago i got an iPod Mini as a christmas gift from my lovely parents.
A few years later the battery died, meaning it didn't last longer than some minutes after unplugging the battery charger. This made the whole idea with "portable music" wasted and all i could use it for was for pluging it into my stereo (with the charger connected....)
I decided to change the battery using a battery-changing-set bought on a technic's store in Stockholm (www.teknikmagasinet.se).

I decided to change the battery using a battery-changing-set bought on a technic's store in Stockholm (www.teknikmagasinet.se).
The tools in the set where:
Tools:
New battery
Small screw driver
Glue
Step 1.
Loosen the rubber top of the iPod
Step 2.
Remove the two screws on the top
Step 3.
Remove the rubber bottom of the iPod
Step 4.
Remove the contact between the scroll-wheel and the motherboard
Step 5.
Push out the content - be carefull! Push from the bottom and drag it out when possible.
Beautiful, isn't it?
Step 6.
Locate the battery on the backside....
...lift it carefully!
Change to the other battery by unplugging the previous wire and replace it with the one on the new battery. Put the new battery on the exactly same place.
Mine started as i plugged it in.
Step 7.
Do all the steps backwards and be carefull!! this is the most critical part.
My sister's iPod loosed the ability to scroll after the exactly same operation.
If necessary: use the glue to shut the bottom and top.
Google is your friend.
Not shure what iPod model you own?
