iPod Nano 5th generation battery replacement and hold switch repair. This was a challenge but not impossible... Quality replacement parts for iPods can be sourced from Elite Obsolete Electronics (eoe.works)
Cutting into a lithium-ion battery is not recommended and poses a risk of fire... Only do so if absolutely necessary and ensure the battery is fully discharged (no voltage on the terminals). These batteries do catch fire when punctured so make sure you have a safe area such as a concrete floor away from combustibles or a safe steel enclosure to contain the fire if the battery was to combust. Don't blame me if you set your iPod on fire...

That was amazing. No one is going to do that for me at a price that makes it worth while to me.

I just use a small usb power bank now, they work just fine powered through the 30 pin connector on usb even with a dead battery. Most of the replacement batteries available are cheap rubbish and wont last a year anyway (probably not even 6 months lol) before swelling and cracking your screen or taking a huge capacity hit. These units are too good to just throw away though, as they still make great players for retro machines such as the Zx Spectrum to load tape images etc...

@@escapetherace1943 If it still works then leave it alone and keep using it. These are horrible things to replace the battery on.

Wow this is a lot of work.

Well I bought the battery before I knew how much work it was going to be to do it, but I did eventually end up doing it, and it worked perfectly, and I didn't break anything. But you do have to be careful for sure.

Thanks for sharing! Not sure I can be bothered to do my own.

any tips for how to solder the new battery?

@capt4inh0wdy 3 ай бұрын

question. is it not possible to push everything out from the top instead of the bottom, given you managed to cut through battery adhesive prior?

How can you hold it after making it hot, if I try it I can barely touch the iPod without burning my fingers?

Para quién vea este video tratando de hacerlo NO LO HAGAS! El autor del video rompió el flex al sacarlo y eso que tiene mucha experiencia. Después soldó esa pieza pero ese nivel de soldadura más esos alambre ultra delgados es DIFICILISIMO! Piensen que quién hizo esto tiene mucho vagaje reparando estos ipod y aún así rompió un flex al retirar el ipod de la carcaza. Yo cometí el error de querer hacer lo mismo y también rompí el flex (el mismo del video). Analizando todo con más calma y comiendome la bronca que me agarro me di cuenta que este ipod tiene pegamento en partes claves y criticas. Esto lo hicieron a propósito para quién lo habrá rompa algo. El flex que rompí (el mismo del video) venía con pegamento excesivo y por más cuidado que tuve era inevitable romperlo. Tanto el ipod nano 5g como el 4g están condenados a desaparecer porque cambiarle la batería es ultra difícil y a esto sumale que la pegan a la carcaza y con los años si no la cambias y la desgastas al máximo la batería suele hincharse un poco haciendo esto aún más complicado. Si ves un ipod nano de estos en venta y dudas si cambiarle la batería te digo de una que no encontraras ningún servicio técnico de esto. Si ya tienes uno de estos ipod dejalos guardados como recuerdo y no le hagas nada. Es muy pero muy difícil cambiarle la batería.

does this also work on the 4th gen or is the 4th gen completely diffrent?

Pretty sure it's similar enough this might work depends though if the battery is too swollen these can be dangerous to pull the internals from without possible thermal run away and venting so if you are gonna try keep a metal trash can nearby to have something safe for it to burn in.. also good ventilation will keep you safe
