Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Yeah, on an older, plastic-body iPod. I had to pry it apart but the battery kit included a special tool to do this, so it was pretty easy.
Don't know how hard it is to replace the battery on a modern iPod, or other iPod models like the Touch.
The place I bought my kit from (don't remember the name) had how-to videos. I'd recommend finding a video for your iPod model and seeing how hard it would be.
My iPod is 5th generation, just over 5 years old.
This might be the company I ordered from: [link]
If you click on your model there's a video of the installation you can watch.
It's also easy for me to got to the Apple store, but that's the site that got me thinking I might do it myself. Of course, it might just be my first digital download from the library that's causing the battery-dying problem, I'll test tonight.
I ended up putting it in a table and then adding line numbers.
Woo! New Word skills acquired.

I may have a copy of that at my mom's house
So I'm teaming up with my folks to get my niece a new laptop for her college graduation gift. She's going to Spain for the next year, so I think a smaller laptop would be best. I was looking at something in the $600 range, like one of the larger netbooks maybe. I don't think she needs anything high-powered, she's not going to be gaming, but she will want to run Skype and stream video and so forth, as well as email and probably do grad-school applications on it.
Anyone have any recommendations? Any particular issues I should be aware of? She mentioned wanting a dual-core processor so she would be able to stream video.

Aren't those just re-purposed Life in Hell cartoons?
Yes, I think so Jon, which is why, a the time, I picked up one or three.
