fixing ipod mini



Fixing an Ipod Mini

Today Seta sent me his Ipod Mini to fix. Apparent the battery got

busted and I have to replace it. This was my first time fixing an Ipod

Mini, but I have confidence xD

Image Spam away(56k beware)

All teh components and equipments used(yes that BP card is essential

too)

Remains of the Ipod Mini shell. The clickwheel is embedded on the

shell

Interior(back). The blue thing is the battery and the bottom is the

HDD. Powered By Seagate.

Here's the main problem. To seperate the PCB and the case, you need to

detach this bastard pin. If this snaps, the clickwheel will not work

-_-

Exposed front of the Mini.

The replacement battery .

Pull out plug, re-insert and complete.

Remains of the old battery.
