iPod Replacement Battery 1st & 2nd Generation

NOTE: Please observe all static safe precautions while working inside your iPod. The Adora Group Limited takes no responsibility for damage occuring to your iPod while installing this replacement battery. These instructions require a moderate level of technical ability and proficiency in the use of hand tools as well as a general understanding of electronic components. Buyer assumes full reponsibility for the installation of this replacement battery.

Begin by laying your iPod on it's back on a soft surface.
Using the nylon tool, gently insert the pointed end between the metal back casing and the acrylic front of the iPod, at the top of the unit as shown.
Using a gentle prying motion, work the nylon tool down the edge of the iPod towards the bottom as shown. The concealed clips will release as you slide the tool down the iPod's back shell.
Once the bottom shell is released, it will easily come off the iPod. Set it aside.
Gently work the battery from the iPod, there are adhesive strips on the battery, simply peel them off. It may take some force and you can use the nylon tool to pry the battery off.
Disconnect the battery from its mounting point on the logic board.
Insert the replacement high-capacity battery onto the logic board socket. It will only plug in one direction. Place the battery back onto the adhesive strips, centering its position on the iPod. Tuck the wires in neatly to the top of the battery making sure they do not protrude from the inside of the case. Slide the iPod back cover onto the front shell and gently press toward the front to snap it back on. Once everything is put back together and you have closed the casing your iPod is then ready to be charged. Make sure you charge the battery for a minumum of 3 hours, uninterupted. Overnight is better. Once it is plugged in via the power adapter or the FireWire port you can go ahead and turn the unit on (if it didnt come on automatically by itself). Enjoy your new battery and thank you.
