Reconnect the battery and carefully put the iPod pieces back together but don't snap closed just yet.

Plug your iPod into the PC using the dock connector. If iTunes does not automatically open up, do so now.

At this time, iTunes should recognize your iPod and will give you the option to restore the iPod to its original settings. The sequence of events will be roughly as shown in the pics.

Once the restore process is complete, your iPod will display a message telling you that the unit has been restored and should appear on your iTunes device list.

Load a couple of songs and test it.

If all is OK, snap the iPod closed and enjoy!
