Mi Problema

My son (age 7) really loves music, so I decided to get him an mp3 player. I wanted something without a touchscreen that was durable and could only really be used for music and audiobooks. The old iPod Mini was a perfect match to these requirements. I found one on eBay for 10 bucks. It had a scuffed case and a bad battery, but otherwise in working order. iFixit to the rescue with the battery kit!

Mi SoluciĆ³n

The repair went pretty much as described in the iFixit tutorial. The iPod casing was already scuffed and scratched, so I didn't feel the need to be /quite/ as careful removing the top and bottom panels as I ought to have been. It took less than 10 minutes to perform the swap.

Mi Consejo

IIRC, the tutorial shows a small screwdriver being used to remove the top and bottom plastic panels. If I did this again, I would use something thinner. The guide mentions this, but I will also stress that it is /very/ easy to damage the plastic, as well as the aluminum housing.

Also, make sure the internals are clean when you reinsert them into the housing! I ended up with a tiny stray hair stuck across the screen, which I didn't notice until all was reassembled.
