The replacement battery for Ipod nano true or false

I was tryin to figure out if it was true that you can't replace your battery in an Ipod nano unless you have good sodering skills or unless you send it in and replace it. Because I bought a third party replacement battery for my Ipod Nano, and it gave me the instructions to the normal Ipod. Then I saw a lot of discussion posts saying that you can replace the battery for an Ipod Nano, so I need to know if you can or can't.

It is possible...
If you Google search for it, you can probably find instructions (with pictures) on how to do it. Basically, you need to use something (such as a tiny flathead screwdriver or a putty knife) to separate the plastic front case from the aluminum back case. Then, you can disconnect the battery that's inside of it and connect your new battery. Most third party iPod batteries recommend charging it completely before first use.
It is, however, easier to send your iPod in for service for a battery issue, and just have them replace your iPod for you.

To my knowledge, you don't need any exceptional soldering skills. I've replaced batteries in some older iPods, and needed nothing but a tiny flathead screwdriver that I use to do general maintenance on my saxophone.

Your Notebook supports a 6-Cell Lithium-Ion battery. Here is a link to your manual page 3-6.

  • I accidently wrote the wrong address for ipod nano support, what should i do?

    i recently filled in the application form for the ipod nano replacement program and did not notice the postcode being wrong. So i need some help fixing this problem, thanks in return. - hamwar

    FYI, you're primarily talking to other customers here.
    As you've seen, Verizon doesn't do support by email.
    When I call Verizon I try to do it during weekday business hours.  That often gets me a helpful representative located in the states.  It helps if you get to the retention people by selecting the options to cancel service.
    If you have an issue that you think other customers can help with, please post the details.
    Good Luck.

  • Why is the replacement battery for my Macbook 2010 not lasting long?

    I just had a new battery installed in my mid 2010 Macbook (white) a few hours ago. Once it was done charging, I looked at the battery bar and noticed it was suddenly down to 95% even though I saw that the cord was just on green light (means fully charged). The estimated time remaining is 2 hours and 56 minutes. Isn't supposed to be 10 hours? The battery is new. I went down to Apple to have it replaced.
    P.S. I am not running any program at the moment, but Safari. Bluetooth is always off. My brightness is 1/3 of the bar. My operating system is Mavericks 10.9.5

    You should calibrate the new battery Apple Portables: Calibrating your computer's battery for best performance

  • The Best Case For Ipod Nanos is?????

    HI EVERYBODY....im new to this whole posting thing so if im doing anything wrong,then just tell me. Anyways, i had heard the nanos scratch really easily so im trying to find out what case is best for the iPod nano.If you also have any advice for using iPod nanos,i would like to know.

    Is there a brick and mortar retail store somewhere that one can walk in to and touch/feel a wide assortment of these cases? It can be difficult to really understand how these things look, feel, effect one's ability to use the iPod's controls, effect the viewability of the screen, impede (or not) the connector(s), provide a lanyard, how much bulk and weight they add, and so forth....unless you can pick them up and slip your nano in and work it for a few minutes. I'd hate to order one online just to find it a disappointment....

  • When is the next update for ipod nano 7th gen

    just wondered because the ipod nano 7g is already getting boring

    In the fall. You will be bored with it by February of 2014. You should wait until you grow up to buy one, say the 19th generation model.

  • Where to buy a replacement battery for iPod 5?

    Unfortunately, I wanted to play music in my car when we went on a road trip, it was fully charged but I wanted the music to keep on playing. It was on for almost 15 hours. It was a stupid mistake, and now every time I charge it fully, an hour later, the battery life is already cut down in half. It is frustrating to keep on constantly charging it, and it makes it harder to use if I have something important to do but it keeps on losing battery life. I put it on the lowest brightness, turned off all apps, and did many other things to try and prevent it from losing too much battery life, but I think it's already "exhausted" enough. I still have about 160 something days left on my warranty, and I read on here, that I am able to have a free replacement if the warranty is still active. Do I have to get it at an Apple store? Or can I order it online somehow?

    Totally outside my bailiwick since I have no iPhone, but is it not true that one could purchase that fine device from a cell service provider like AT&T or T-Mobile? In every case I can think of, no matter what product it may be, warranty service starts at the original PoP?
    Not knowing how or where it was purchased, I said what I said. Genius Bar my well be the route.
    best regards

  • New Battery for Ipod Nano

    Ny Ipod no longer holds a charge. I took it to the Apple store who told mne I need to purchase a new one. It could not be replaced. Does this sound right?

    Why could it not be replaced, and is it still under warranty?

  • Why apple do not sell replacement battery for iphone? Not original battery is dangerous

    Recently many problem about iphone specially about battery problem or charger.
    I can not buy original battery but i only can buy from another seller not authorized seller from apple and it could be dangerous for me
    Because i'm not sure  the battery is original or not.
    I think This is not good services from apple to customer.
    I think apple should provide the replacement battery for avoid an accident like what i have been heard and read in the news.

    the battery in the iphone is not user replaceable - you can send the iphone to Apple or (I believe) take it to an Apple store or authorized repair place and they will install a new battery - i forget what they charge - i think in the US its $79 but im not sure
    if you try to install a battery yourself or get oen installed from a non authorized place your warranty will be voided

  • The on/off button on my 6th gen iPod nano recently got spoilt and I sent it back to the shop for a repair/exchange a week ago. Now I have just found out about the new 7th gen iPod nano and I am wondering, can I get the new one as a replacement?

    No.  You can turn your 6G Nano in to be recycled at your local Apple Store for a 10% discount towards the purchase of a new one. Otherwise, your only other option would be to sell the iPod on Craigslist or eBay and use the proceeds from the sale towards the purchase of the new 7G nano.

  • I tried to set up a new library for my old ipod nano so i could update songs on it however when i tried to import songs from a cd it crashed and i had to end task therefor not getting to sync the new songs with ipod nano. now i cant find old library

    However during the process of adding new songs itunes crashed and i had to end task therefor not getting the chance to sync the new songs onto ipod nano. later when i plugged in my current ipod touch all my songs have disappeared and i cant find the original itunes library i had for it! is there anyway to get it back? i have tried pressing shift when opening itunes but still cant find the original itunes that i had!!

    Since all of your music came from your computer in the first place, then it should still be there and should be included in your backup copy of your computer.
    " it told me when i pluged hers in 2 ipods could not use the same account"
    This is not true.  You have misunderstood.
    You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like to one one library.

  • I didn't receive any news about the replacement program for the Ipod 1st generation. I have already sent the serial number online, but didn't have any progress. What should I do? Thank you

    After you set up your service use your repair ID to track your replacement here:

    Remember: You will receive a replacement unit approximately 6 weeks after Apple gets your current iPod nano
    Hope this helps.
