Step 2Open Your iPod
There are literally thousands of DIY guides and tutorials on how to properly open up your iPod, so I won't go into it here. I will assume that if you're actually willing to do this hack to your iPod you already know or can easily figure out how to open it up. Needless to say, the iPod video is a little harder to open than the 4G imo. So, flip the switch to hold, take your time and don't break it!
I do have to warn you that if you have not opened a 5G unit before, don't just pull it apart after you crack the case open. The battery is connected via a ribbon cable on the lower right corner (ipod face down). Use a small screwdriver or some other tool to pull up on the connector to free up the cable. I made my own tool to do this as I feel it places less stress on the connector.
