    • Infila uno strumento di apertura per iPod tra la copertura esterna e il bordo superiore vicino allo schermo.

    • Sollevando lo strumento di apertura per iPod, fai leva per rimuovere il bordo superiore del dispositivo.

    • Il bordo è incollato con dell'adesivo e può richiedere parecchia forza per essere rimosso.

  2. OKnHRbj3gTQE3qTr

    • Usa uno strumento di apertura per iPod per rimuovere l'interruttore hold dal suo supporto in metallo.

    • Svita le due viti da 3,2 mm.

    • Queste viti sono inclinate verso la copertura esterna e sono molto piccole. Usa un cacciavite appuntito e stai molto attento a non spanarle.

    • Infila uno strumento di apertura per iPod tra la copertura esterna e il supporto in metallo dell'interruttore hold vicino al bordo superiore dello schermo.

    • Mentre tiri leggermente verso l'alto lo strumento di apertura, tira fuori dall'iPod il supporto in metallo dell'interruttore hold.

    • Il supporto in metallo dell'interruttore hold è ancora collegato all'iPod da un sottile e fragile cavo a nastro. Stai attento a non strapparlo.

    My ribbon broke.

    I see that on the pictures further down, you removed the covering plate, which I would suggest to do, as it'll put less weight on the ribbon.

    Luckily, we can find spare ones. In fact it doesn't sell alone, it's with the earphones jack.

    Michel Raj -

    could you elaborate more as to how did you remedy the broken ribbon?

    michael deaner -

    is the broken ribbon fixable?

    • Il vetro è tenuto fermo da dell'adesivo lungo tutti i quattro lati. Nei passaggi seguenti, lavora attentamente per evitare di rompere il vetro.

    • Infila uno strumento di apertura per iPod tra lo schermo e il vetro dal bordo superiore del dispositivo.

    • Ruota lo strumento di apertura verso il retro del dispositivo, sollevando leggermente il bordo superiore del vetro dalla copertura esterna.

    • Il vetro non si alzerà molto. Non provare ancora a rimuovere del tutto il vetro, o è probabile che romperai lo schermo.

    I would recommend using a heat gun.

    raul mald -

    At this point, I find it helps to separate the lock switch from the top metal casting. You then have just the switch dangling on the fragile ribbon cable. Much less likely to snag or break the ribbon. Just loosen (Don't remove completely) the two Phillips screws. The heavy clunky casting bit can be removed.

    Pete Green -

    You can remove this lens with virtually zero risk to the LCD underneath:

    Get a couple guitar picks or spudgers ready, and another old spudger. Using a hot glue gun, glue the old spudger into the very middle of the lens. Let the glue cool completely.

    Using a heat gun pointing up from the bottom, heat the 3 edges of the shell around the top and sides of the lens. Avoid getting heat on the lens or hot glue as it will soften.

    Using the spudger as a handle, pull up on the lens to get the top edge started and get your guitar picks/spudgers under the sides at the top of the lens.

    Complete removal as above.

    Using a spudger/guitar pick, start to peel an edge of the hot glue loose to remove old spudger from lens; then clean any residue with alcohol.

    Paul K -

    “couple of” guitar picks

    kenneth keen -

    After destroying one iPod, I learned from my mistakes. Heating it with a hair dryer to loosen the adhesive helped a lot. You need to get the tool between the glass and the lcd display; be very careful not to put pressure on the display!

    • Mentre sollevi lo schermo con lo strumento di apertura per iPod, infila un secondo strumento di apertura tra la copertura esterna e la parte sinistra del bordo superiore del vetro.

    • Rimuovi il primo strumento di apertura dall'iPod posto tra il vetro e l'LCD nella parte superiore del dispositivo.

    The iPod I repared had a cracked screen. Caution here because it doesn't pop out that easily. I had to apply some force on the plastic opening tool while using another tool to take out the shards (who are glued to the side).

    ian h -

    90% guaranteed you will destroy the LCD in this step. You just dont know how much for to use and if you stress the LCD too much, even with a plastic tool it will be damaged.That’s why ifixit sells those too. My advice is to first completely follow this guide, and if successful, and only then , start ordering parts.

    Omar van Hees -

    Since the display is probably 99 percent broken, I decided to use a different method. I heat the ipod on my 3-printer heating bed to around 70 degrees Celsius, then I take a suction cup and pull on the display glass. When the glue is warm enough, the glass rises and you can carefully detach the glass with an opening pick. the display remains completely intact greeting Andre

    • Facendo una leggera leva con lo strumento di apertura per iPod, infila un secondo strumento di apertura tra la copertura esterna e il bordo destro del vetro.

    • Fai scorrere il secondo strumento di apertura lungo il bordo destro del vetro per separare l'adesivo.

    • Con uno strumento di apertura per iPod ancora tra il vetro e la copertura esterna, infila un altro strumento simile tra la copertura esterna e il bordo sinistro del vetro.

    • Fai scorrere lo strumento di apertura per iPod lungo il bordo sinistro del vetro verso la base del dispositivo per separare l'adesivo.

  9. MTxN4WTZFDXDClBs

    • Sollevando il vetro dal bordo superiore dell'iPod, rimuovi il pannello di vetro dall'iPod Nano.

    It might be a good idea to remove all the adhesive from the screen before trying to slide the internals out. I had a nightmare trying to get mine out, ended up cutting my thumb and finger from holding onto the edges of the screen too tight trying to wiggle it out. And then to top it off, I broke the hold switch ribbon cable too. I don’t know how much the screen glue vs the battery glue was responsible for making it difficult to remove. Also when sliding it out, be careful the lip on the lower edge of the button hole doesn’t snag on the thin steel frame around the screen.

    edorp -

    Is it really needed to remove the glas? Can‘t you just slide out the logic board when glas remains?

    • Usa una pistola termica per ammorbidire l'adesivo sotto il bordo in plastica inferiore dell'iPod.

    • Usa un'impostazione a bassa temperatura e non tenere la pistola termica troppo a lungo nello stesso punto per evitare di sciogliere il bordo in plastica.

    • Usa uno strumento di apertura in plastica per fare leva tra il bordo in plastica e la copertura esterna dell'iPod per rimuoverla.

    On the Nano I worked on I had to do steps 12-14 before step 10 because the metal plate on the bottom is one of the two things holding the click wheel in place.

    ethan -

    You MUST remove the bottom plate BEFORE forcing of the wheel or you WILL tare it apart as there is a lug on the bottom plate that holds the wheel in place ( wish I had known this before I damaged mine)

    also do not lose the very small spring that is under the wheel (I DID )

    Keith -

    +1. There is a tiny piece of plastic containing a little spring just under the wheel. Remove thoses parts before extracting the main board or you will probably loose them.

    • Svita le tre viti dal bordo inferiore dell'iPod:

    • Due viti a croce Phillips inclinate da 4,4 mm

    • Una vite a croce Phillips da 5,4 mm

    • Queste viti potrebbero non uscire da sole, quindi assicurati di non perderle quando rimuovi il supporto.

    • Usa uno strumento di apertura in plastica per fare leva sul supporto in metallo e rimuoverlo dal bordo inferiore dell'iPod.

    A flathead screwdriver or even a tooth pick will do better in this step.

    • Infila uno spudger in metallo nella fessura sul fondo dell'iPod appena sopra la porta di carica.

    • Usa lo spudger in metallo per far leva sul bordo inferiore della ghiera cliccabile.

  13. kYJLxHvWScyHSwqt

    • Infila un plettro tra la ghiera cliccabile e la copertura esterna dell'iPod Nano e rimuovi lo spudger in metallo.

    • Fai leva sui bordi della ghiera cliccabile con il plettro per sollevarla finché non si libera dalla copertura esterna.

    • Non cercare ancora di rimuovere la ghiera cliccabile: è ancora collegata con un cavo a nastro.

    Use extreme care when inserting the metal plunger to lift up the click wheel. I ended up damaging one of the sensor pads and then needed to order a new click wheel circuit. Not very expensive to replace but I had not intended to replace this item and so my finished repair was delayed.

    Kevin Long -

    also, like someone mentioned below, be careful of the small plastic piece and tiny spring that will fall out after you remove the click wheel.

    • Solleva la ghiera cliccabile con una mano e con uno strumento di apertura in plastica solleva il connettore del cavo a nastro della ghiera dalla sua presa sulla scheda madre per scollegarlo.

    • Rimuovi la ghiera cliccabile.

    In the second photo where you can see under the click wheel, just above the square black piece with the apple on it is a black rectangle with a hole in the center. There will be a spring in the hole. Remove the spring and the black piece it is in and set aside or they will fall out and get lost.

    • Usa una pistola termica per ammorbidire l'adesivo sotto la copertura della fotocamera/microfono.

    • Fai leva con uno spudger in metallo sulla copertura della fotocamera/microfono per rimuoverla dalla copertura esterna.

    • Evitare di danneggiare la copertura dell'iPod vicino alla fotocamera è molto difficile, ma non impossibile. Anche se non influirà sulla funzionalità dell'iPod, ne comprometterà l'aspetto estetico.

    • Puoi provare questo metodo alternativo per rimuovere la copertura:

    • Usa la colla a caldo per coprire la copertura.

    • Metti il beccuccio nella copertura di colla per 20 secondi per scaldare l'adesivo che tiene ferma la copertura della fotocamera.

    • Infila uno spudger nella colla finché questa non si raffredda e si indurisce.

    • Tira lo spudger con una decisione e applicando una forza costante, mentre usi un'unghia per sollevare il bordo della copertura.

    Use a heatgun/hairdryer for a very long time and use a cutter knife and pry continuously only from the right bottom corner (near the camera lens). If you don't get it open use the heatgun once more.

    Peter Johansson -

    Alternatively use a fabric bag filled with chick peas, put it in a microwave for 4 mn at power 600w and leave it to rest on the iPod 10 / 15 mn. It does the same job. I also use a fresh stanley knife blade (mind your fingers) the blade is very slim and is therefore easier to wedge between the casing and the cover.

    victoriahenri -

    You can remove this lens with zero damage to case or lens:

    Using a hot glue gun, apply a bead of glue across the entire lens but not on the body of the iPod. Move the nozzle back and forth in the glue for about 20 seconds; this keeps the glue hot and heats up the Apple adhesive on the other side.

    Quickly jam an old spudger into the hot glue and hold it until the glue starts to harden; this will happen quickly. Gripping the spudger and digging into the glue over the spudger with the fingernail of your forefinger, pull straight up evenly but firmly. The lens will release pretty easily if you time it right; otherwise it will pop if it has gotten cold.

    I’ve done a dozen of these this way successfully.

    Paul K -

    Thanks Paul! I will add this into the step.

    Arthur Shi -

    This works great, as long as you time it right. I found putting the tip of the glue gun flat against the lens is useful, and a few seconds after the glue stops sticking to your finger is a good time to do it.

    Aydan -

    just use a needle and pull it from the little hole

    Daniel Mauricio Franco Martin -

    have to be careful because after removing the click wheel, when you turn it upside down, the are pieces that fall down. I lost one that fall in my carpet

    Daniel Mauricio Franco Martin -

    I was able to remove it using a pin in the small hole. Once it is out there may be pieces that want to fall off; a round ring and the white retainer piece.

    Cheryl Berk -

    Same here. With some pliers I bent the pointy tip of a push-pin to make a 120 degree angle and used that to lift up the plate using the microphone hole after I heated up the plate. Like a mini crowbar. It came off in 30 seconds including the white indent attached to it.

    • Infila uno spudger in metallo dal bordo superiore dell'iPod tra la batteria e la copertura esterna per separare l'adesivo che tiene ferma la batteria.

    • Stai molto attento a non deformare o forare la batteria: potresti dar fuoco alla batteria.

    In case anyone else didn't realize this, you need to push your spudger fairly deep into the iPod to completely seperate the glue from the battery. I just stuck mine in maybe half an inch, then spent 30 minutes struggling to move the logic board. After removing all of the glue, it slid out with relative ease.

    dharris1 -

    I didn’t have a spudger so I used a metal nail file with a rounded end. Heated the back of the iPod with a hair dryer for about a minute first to soften the adhesive and it all worked fairly smoothly. Be gentle with the lcd display.

    Cheryl Berk -

    Keep in mind the only glue holding the logic board to the metal case is a small rectangle of adhesive. In the picture, the author is just scraping away at the glue. You don’t need to insert your spudger any lower than half an inch as there isn’t any other adhesive holding the logic board to the metal case . Once the glue has been scraped away, then the board should slide out easily. If it doesn’t slide out, then the adhesive is still there.

    • C'è un piccolo sistema di bloccaggio bianco tra la fotocamera e il microfono che evita che i componenti interni si muovano troppo.

    • Infila una puntina nel foro nell'angolo del sistema di bloccaggio e rimuovilo dalla copertura.

    I tried this but with the Nano I worked on the retainer cannot be pushed down, instead there is a small diagonal hole in the retainer that you can fit a pin or needle into and lift out the retainer.

    ethan -

    Yeah step 18 is BS, You need to pull the retainer up with a pin, not depress it. I destroyed my first nano as i pushed so hard trying to depress it that it deformed and I had to give up. Bad bad tip that needs correcting at step 18.

    Dave -

    It can be pulled out with tweezers.

    raul mald -

    I think this step should be step 16. Otherwise you risk to drop the retainer.

    Tolstoievski -

  18. 6ViNOEGbBGOGvIeP

    • Una volta che il sistema di bloccaggio è stato rimosso dalla copertura esterna, non serve più lo spudger usato per tenerlo fermo.

    • Facendo forza delicatamente ma con costanza, spingi sul bordo superiore dello schermo per far scorrere la scheda madre fuori dal bordo inferiore dell'iPod.

    • Non spingere sulla batteria: potresti forarla e farle prendere fuoco.

    • Stai attento al supporto dell'interruttore hold durante tutta la procedura, assicurandoti che non si impigli contro un bordo e si strappi il cavo a nastro.

    I submitted an edit for this step. The first bullet (about the spudger not being needed once the retainer is past the hole in the case) is now irrelevant because step 17 now has us removing the retainer completely.

    • Continua a spingere il gruppo della scheda madre attraverso la copertura esterna con uno spudger.

    • Gli spazi all'interno dell'iPod sono molto stretti. Sii molto paziente e avanza lentamente mentre rimuovi il gruppo della scheda madre e assicurati che nessun componente o nessun cavo a nastro si impigli nella copertura esterna.

    • Per assicurarti che il supporto dell'interruttore hold non si impigli nella copertura, infilalo direttamente nel mezzo dell'iPod, dove c'è più spazio per passare.

  20. UPGeiOSkFf3ANKqK

    • Una volta che il bordo superiore dello schermo ha superato il bordo inferiore della copertura esterna, rimuovi il gruppo della scheda madre dal corpo dell'iPod.

    • Ancora una volta, stai molto attento che il supporto dell'interruttore hold non si incastri sul bordo inferiore del foro della ghiera cliccabile.

    I accidentally snapped the little ribbon that held the top of the device. Is it fixable?

    • Ruota la batteria in modo che il connettore del cavo a nastro arancione dell'interruttore hold sia visibile lungo il bordo inferiore della batteria.

    • Rimuovi il cavo a nastro dell'interruttore hold dalla batteria.

    • Il delicato cavo a nastro è tenuto fermo con dell'adesivo. Lavora lentamente, stando attento a non strappare il cavo.

  23. oELtkruasnKGKomF

    • Usa un paio di pinzette per rimuovere il nastro adesivo arancione che copre le tre saldature dei contatti della batteria.

  24. S5RdHmPKCjM4vGSc

    • La batteria sull'iPod Nano è collegata con delle saldature poste in tre fori presenti nel cavo a nastro della batteria che si collegano ad altrettanti contatti sulla scheda madre. In questo passaggio dovrai scaldare ogni saldatura singolarmente mentre usi uno spudger in metallo per sollevarle dalla scheda madre.

    • NON far fare corto circuito tra le saldature con lo spudger, né sulla scheda madre, né sul cavo a nastro. Potresti danneggiare la scheda madre.

    • Stai attendo a non surriscaldare la scheda madre o il cavo. Tieni la punta del saldatore sulla saldatura giusto il necessario a fonderla. Troppo calore può danneggiare la scheda madre o fondere il cavo a nastro.

    • Inizia a lavorare dal lato destro del cavo a nastro della batteria. Scalda la saldatura più a destra mentre fai leva delicatamente da sotto il cavo a nastro per liberarlo dalla scheda madre.

    Petite astuce, si votre but est de changer la batterie : ne vous embêter pas, couper la nappe de batterie afin d’éviter tout éventuel court-circuit.

    Pierre MARZIN -

    “A little tip, if your goal is to change the battery: do not bother, cut the battery cover to avoid any short circuit” Pierre MARZIN

    Another tip, if you have ruined 5 iPods so far without getting past this stage then try simply taping the new battery to the case and connecting its ends to an old cut off broad Apple USB [power pins] (someone smart can say which ones these are)

    kenneth keen -

    It is also fairly easy to strip the power traces from the pcb

    Bajjisw -

    actually no problem to solder a new battery, the biggest problem is to get a new, reasonable one. Most of them are old batteries that are already deeply discharged. Please make sure that the battery is still charged over 3.7 V when it reaches you. it is essential to measure the voltage first, otherwise all the work is in vain. I got a really good battery from A ... zon, but I don't want to advertise here either. much luck

On step 15, I used a thiny needle (for knitting or something like this) placed into the microphone hole and use this gently to lift up the plate. A head gun must heat the glue before. That saves the ipod from scratches

christian -

This it bs. I need to buy new device now. Nothing comes off that easy. My screen shattered when I was trying to pull it up. If you are not a pro, don't do it.

fwitkowski -

Obviously you weren’t careful enough.

DWEGFERG EWFW4ET43RF -

You are supposed to push down from the top of the screen, not up. I managed to get mine out but I ripped the hold ribbon in the process. Luckily I have another one for spares. Good luck next time

George Tivda -

I'm sure this can be done, but the tools included in the Ifixit kit are not up to the task. Spent about 45 minutes with the flimsy blue tools and distorted the LCD trying to remove the glass. Then took a heat gun and used the black nylon tool (which I suppose is the replacement for the metal spudger) in the kit. Had the glass out in a single minute. There is no tool in the kit long enough to dislodge the click wheel. I got out my dental tools and finished the disassembly. It is cheaper at this point to just buy another than replace the broken parts. It is a poor carpenter that blames his tools, but you can't cut down a tree with a fish. Use your own tools

drbernie -

I managed to do all the steps, the problem is that my battery is swollen... big drama.. so anyone has any advice?, i just want to unswollen it so that i can slide the logic board down..:(

ruimiguel888 -

My best suggestion is to puncturse the battery. Its a risk but ive done it before if the battery is dead and once you puncture it you can easily take it out

Thomas Hancock -

Roughly around step twenty I found tiny black plastic tab having hole through on my desk, little fella felt out sometime during disassembly and I never found out where it belongs. Nevertheless iPod seems to work well. Funny fact: I also teared away the hold switch and had to replace the whole ribbon with jack connector, and attach speaker to it with new wires. This Nano was the most annoying repair job I ever did.:-)

Ren -

Do you have a tear down of the ribbon wire replacement?

I found this fixit to try and fix the wire but silver conductive paint isn't cheap and I don't want to spark something manually fixing the wire so I was going to replace the whole part, cant find a how-to, was going to just wing it..

i didn't have a heat gun so i used my wife's hair dryer on low temperature for 1 minute most to detach the screen cover and for 2 minutes to detach the lens cover. i couldn't pop the retainer out properly from the lens/mic so i kinda destroyed it during the process. still, everything is working jsut fine. thnx for this man, saved me US$70.00 from replacing it in a store.

otani diogo -

i don't recommend using metal spudger to wipe off the glue behind the battery. I scratched the battery for accident and saw sparks twice which made me give it up and just jump to the next step. the glue was spread in a squared shape about 1,5cm from the top and 1,5 cm to the sides. so the spudger should be inserted no further than 2cm from the top of the case.

hamid mazuji -

my model no is a1320

question: what is the amperage of the original battery

question: what is the amperage of the replacement battery

fact: the original battery is worthless. i need something with ten times the amperage. what are my options

hamid mazuji -

I ruined the first iPod. Pushing up on the glass I put too much pressure on the lcd display and ruined it. Was in too much of a hurry and not patient enough. I learned from my mistakes, though, and did much better the second time around. I took my time. Thought the project through, had my tools and workspace ready, and only began when when I could work uninterrupted. Soldering the new battery was by far the hardest part. Watched a good YouTube video and finally made it work. Thanks for posting these manuals so that we can repair things ourselves. I fixed it!

Cheryl Berk -

Can I send it in for repair. I am not handy on repairs

g53d -

My iPod says go to iTunes to restore. How would I do that?

g53d -

How do I know if the battery needs replacing?

g53d -

I have a 5th gen iPod Nano. I got it almost a decade ago, or a little over a decade ago. A couple of years ago, around 2016, I found my iPod Nano again. I tried to see if it still worked, so I tried to start it up and lo and behold, the Apple logo appears on the screen. It stays there for a few seconds before the screen turns completely black again. I repeated this process a couple of times. This means that the battery is dead and needs replacing. I am, however, not a tech-savvy person, so I won't bother with repairing it myself. I am afraid that even if I do get it repaired, that there will be no memory and all has been for naught. If you, like me, can start the device but its screen goes black entirely, it means you have a dead battery, too. If you can actually use it, I suggest leaving it alone, even if it means the battery life is very short.

ian h -

this is a professional joke!

vilsonvargasdudu -

Hello is there any way I can take it to you to get it fix.

Fasto Rodriguez -

For anyone trying this I found a way to keep the back casing scratch free when removing camera cover. After removing the front wheel you can see the little white pin under the camera cover (the one iFixit takes out after the camera cover was removed), if you press on it it pushes the camera cover out (you still need to heat the cover with a heat gun/hair dryer) with little to no effort. Just insert the tip of a cutting blade or something very thin and strong between it and the case and push towards the back of the casing and the camera cover will pop out. Hope this helps

George Tivda -

Everything went pretty good until the last push to remove the logic board, just that last little bit of adhesive holding on. let go all of a sudden and you know what happened. The hold ribbon broke. any options now?

J'en ai acheté 5 jusqu'à présent, et étonnamment, c'est le plus esthétiquement rayé qui tient encore le mieux... Plus de 20 heures mesurées ! J'en ai un autre qui tient encore 9, mais les 3 autres sont cuits... Un tient 30 secondes, et les 2 derniers se coupent dès qu'on les débranche... C'est le cas de nombreux modèles sur le marché de l'occasion, tous vendus comme fonctionnant sur secteur... Tu m'étonnes !

S'il était simple de changer la batterie, à 20 euros l'unité, tout le monde le ferait...

J'en viens à regretter d'avoir choisi cette génération à collectionner, plutôt qu'une plus ancienne plus facile à remettre en état...

I cracked the LCD while pushing the iPod out of its casing, cause I put too much pressure onto the frame. But, the battery is swollen, and that definitely made the process harder. At least, everything else still works, but I’m not happy.

Addendum: There’s a small plastic bit in the middle of the board, which this guide neglected to mention. Once you remove it, it leaves an opening in the board wide enough for a spudger, which can be used to push the iPod out. I removed and kept this plastic bit, but doing things differently could’ve saved a perfectly working LCD.

With a little time and patience, it's no problem to bring your nano 5 back to life. The biggest mistake is to rush something or not think about the next step. think first, then act is the best way. and always use the right tool. the plastic spudger is not always the right one. i use very thin razor blades, feeler gauges in various thicknesses, and also old, sharpened credit cards. my way is to cause as little damage as possible ........ best succeed ... andré

If the battery is swollen, it is almost impossible to disassemble the ipod without scratching the display and therefore rarely being able to be used again

got mine dissembled, now waiting on battery delivery. Wondering how things stay together on reassembly now that the glue is stripped / dirty / whatever. Mostly concerned about the glass, at the end. Any need to add glue, or does this thing just stay together with what remnants remain? Thank you to all who left tips at the steps, quite helpful.
