EDIT 6:13 pm: It works!!! (And all 6 Gigs of music is still available, no restore needed!)
Need help... my nano has had a bad battery, (would only go 2 hrs on a full charge, when new it used to go 10-12hrs.) And a cracked screen. It was fully operational before i took it apart, the screen worked fine too! despite a spider crack across the top. This ipod is about 13 months old, so i expected the weak battery performance.
EDIT: battery reads 3.98 volts (measured with fluke 73 iii voltmeter, as SnowFox isnt working.). which seems normal, they read a little high when off and fully charged, ive noticed this from the iTerm/SnowFox function.
First: Ive checked the web, YT and all the typical repair sites, and done a cursory search here on the forum, only found basic info a disassembly, some sources were appallingly poor in there description and technique.
Second: this is expendable, though im trying to save it.
Third: ive got a new screen with digitizer, and new battery.
Finnally: i may have bricked it while disassembling it... dam it. Itunes gave me a warning that it may be corrupted twice, but detected it and showed it in the left column, butnow doesnt detect or show it at all. I should have restored it when i had the chance, cant access SnowFox or see anything on the screen, not even the back light.
Need help please, im affraid to buy the "used" ones on ebay as they maybe the short lived batteries like mine is, due to a full recharge life cycle.
May have to buy another one... dam it.
EDIT: It works!!!
chinese repair parts [iPod nano 6] Screen pixels are larger than orignal, pitch is inferior to real apple product parts. screen has yellow edges not so black background, and when you use the digitizer your finger leaves the "squish colors" that LCD's get when you press on them. Again inferior chinese crap. (it shows the wrong time too. )
I fixed it! and Snowfox says so! Battery is 3.960 V and its already out lasted the depleated orignal battery.
Some notes: As the screen+digitizer cost me $32 US and the battery is $6 US, and a new iPod nano cost $145 US, im happy with the result. (Just dont expect great quality or exact equivielent parts from anybody in china.)Also, those 3 tools you see in the first pic are essential, dont try to "jimmy it" with a small screw driver.
If i see my pics stolen and used on Ebay or the web without credit, ill be so pissed off!
EDIT: the battery tops out at 4.180 Volts after 3 hrs of charge.

Nice. I have an old Ipod Mini here with 4GB hard disk. Needless to say the battery was defunct, but I removed the PCB from it and attached a LiPo for "test" purposes. Hard disk is spinning and going clicky click click but I think it may just be stuck.

Yeah i wonder how vulnerable the moving part ones are? the solid state ram ones have a whole lot less to go wrong.
