Replacing My Ipod Battery

[Nikkijah]

I've searched the forum but nothing specific comes up

My iPod battery is totally shot, whenever I need to take it out of its dock it dies instantly, can I get my battery replaced in BKK?

Thanks in advance

Nikkijah - Have you considered changing the battery yourself? A quick Google will provide easy do-it-yourself instructions.

For example, check the article here.

Thanks sbk but I'm English so I don't understand it all

Thanks for the link waldwolf, the link is actually for the iPod mini but I'm searching now for instructions to replace my 2nd generation iPod battery, I'm not sure it's possible though as the edges of my ipod are flush and have no clips of latches to get hold of

Instructions here .

Forgot to mention earlier, there is a remote (very remote) possibility the charging problem may lay in the battery charging electronics, not the battery itself.

I bought a battery off eBay and replaced it myself, it was very easy and took about 1 minute, you don't really need to follow any instructions or videos either!
