The other sides of the iPod should now come loose easily. Separate the front of the iPod from the back by a couple of centimetres. Don't completely separate the two halves just yet as there are two ribbon cables still connected B. Lay the bottom of the iPod next to the front section on a flat surface C. Use the iPod opening tool to slide the brown connector directly upwards D — the connector is frail and will break if it is shifted to the side. Remove the cable from the connector by lifting it up with your fingers.
Carefully disconnect the other ribbon cables. The front and back of the iPod should now be completely separated. The existing battery is glued to the case with a mild adhesive. Pry it free and remove. Apple designed their new iPods to be very difficult to take apart without destroying major components.
Because of the metal faceplate, the metal backing, and the 13 yes, 13 metal clips holding the case together, this is one of the toughest iPods to disassemble. Proceed with caution and the warning that you may significantly damage your iPod beyond its present condition. Also, you may want a few extra pairs of plastic opening tools during installation, as they are easy to ruin when opening the iPod.
Have fun! Opening this iPod is challenging. Don't get discouraged if it takes you a few tries before the iPod is opened. One thing to notice is the angle of the plastic opening tool's tip while inserting it into the iPod. Ideally, the angle should be as vertical as possible while still clearing the edge of the rear panel.
Insert a plastic opening tool into the seam between the front and back of the iPod. Insert another plastic opening tool into the seam between the front and back of the iPod, leaving at least 1. There are thin metal rails running along the inside of the rear panel, so take great care when inserting the putty knife. Once the putty knife has cleared the lip of the rear panel, pivot the putty knife so that it is vertical, and carefully but firmly wiggle it straight down into the gap between the opening tools.
Push with your fingers on the rear panel behind the putty knife to minimize bending. Slowly flex the putty knife, as shown in the picture, to ensure that most of the metal tabs on this side of the iPod are disengaged.
The theory behind this method is, rather than attempting to not bend the rear panel at all, to bend it in a favorable manner that allows you to easily restore it later. Therefore, any bend in the sides of the rear panel should be drawing the lip of the rear panel away from the iPod, rather than pushing out on the curved surface.
This method also disengages as many of the side clips as possible. Remove the putty knife from the iPod and reinsert it closer to the corner of the iPod, using the same wiggle method as before.
Between the lock slider and headphone jack, insert a plastic opening tool into the seam between the front and back of the iPod. You may find it easier to carefully flex the putty knife downward in order to create more of a gap for the opening tool, but be sure not to bend the corner of the rear panel!
Near the center of the display, carefully insert a metal spudger into the gap created by the plastic opening tool. It is easy to create a noticeable bump in the rear panel here that is difficult to repair. When prying the tab free, try to have the metal spudger pivot on the edge of the rear panel rather than bending the rear panel outward. Near the other top corner, insert an opening tool into the seam between the front and back of the iPod. On the other side, insert an opening tool into the seam between the front and back of the iPod.
You may find it easier to angle the opening tool stuck in the top corner in order to create a sufficient gap. Remove the plastic opening tool from the top corner and insert it into the seam between the front and back of the iPod, leaving at least 1. Again, there are thin metal rails running along the inside of the rear panel, so take great care when inserting the putty knife.
Once the putty knife has cleared the lip of the rear panel, angle the putty knife so that it is vertical, and carefully but firmly wiggle it straight down into the iPod via the gap between the plastic opening tools. Ever so slightly flex the putty knife to ensure that most of the metal tabs on this side of the iPod are disengaged. The metal clips near the corners are notorious for tenaciously gripping the front panel.
It is necessary to disengage these clips in order to open the iPod. Gently wiggle the metal spudger down so that it is all the way in the rear panel.
Continue to push up on the front panel with the metal spudger until the metal clip releases. There are two ribbon cables connecting the rear panel to the rest of the iPod. You will receive a link to create a new password via email.
