The colored metal casing.
O que você precisa
-
-
Carefully insert an iPod opening tool in the seam between the metal casing and white plastic bezel.
-
Lift the bottom bezel off the iPod. It's glued on using a mild adhesive, so some force may be required.
I tried using a heat gun to soften the glue, but it ended up melting the white plastic part.
I used an Avid Power heat gun at setting 3 heat and 2 fan and did not melt it. I pointed it at the metal case not the plastic thanks to tip above and kept my hand wrapped around it so I could tell how hot it was getting. If it was too hot to keep my hand there then I deemed it would be too hot for the plastic. That seemed to do the trick and loosen the adhesive just a little bit to help with extraction. Thanks gordon.

Remove the following two screws:
-
One #00 Phillips screw with a large head near the headphone jack.
-
One #000 Phillips screw with a smaller head near the side of the iPod. This screw strips easily, so be sure to press down firmly on the screwdriver.
my small screw is completely stripped, what can I do?
-
-
-
Use a metal spudger to carefully pry the headphone jack out of the casing. DO NOT remove the headphone jack from the iPod entirely, as it is connected via a fragile ribbon connector to the click wheel.

Remove the newly-revealed Phillips #00 screw from beneath the headphone jack. Be careful, this screw is easily stripped.
The screw on this step also stripped when I was following this tutorial, despite being very careful and taking the time for everything. This really happens _REALLY_ easily!
I too reassembled the iPod without this particular screw. So far I've noticed no side-effects from this.
Ultimately I was able to complete the whole guide and repair the Nano succesfully! :-D
i have also stripped this screw in this step. can i change the display without removing this screw? any help is greatly appreciated
I agree. You want to use a Philips #000 here.
I tried using a Phillips #00 and almost stripped it, but I got it out with a 1mm flathead (all of my other Phillips drivers were too large)

Use a spudger to disconnect the headphone jack cable from the logic board. You need to gently pry the connector toward (or up, if you like, the connector is like LEGO® building blocks) the front of the iPod until it comes loose from the logic board.
-
Special hint for the reassembly: Push the connector inside until it is over the corresponding connector of the logic board. Then insert a thin tool over the connector and push it down onto the logic boards connector.

Use a spudger to push the logic board through the iPod out of the casing. The click wheel and headphone jack should remain in the iPod.
Before pushing I carefully used the spudger to move the top bezel (with the hold switch) out of the case first. Be careful, it’s got a tiny ribbon cable. But getting that out first made the logic board slide out relatively easily.
I really appreciate that tip! Couldn’t get mine out until I did that and it slid right out

If you have a swollen battery, as I did, it was not possible to remove logic board. My case was visibly expanded near the top making everything inside locked in position. I did the disassembly before any part purchases. If I got to the point where everything came apart nicely, I'd invest in the parts. Thank you ifixit.com for the comprehensive instructions and parts for this procedure.
@armcomdes - well done! I wish i’d read your insight before ordering my replacement battery. My nano 2g battery is swollen, and only a sledgehammer could move any part that it now locks in place. So long, nano. I’ll try to return that sealed battery.
Your insight should be at the top of all related nano pages: swollen battery? iChuckit is your only real option

When removing the logic board, place the tip of the spudger into the hole where you removed the screw and gently push it out. The crevice will keep it in place and decrease the chance of you damaging your board.
My battery swelled and it was not possible to push out. Looks like I cracked the screen trying to free it up inside the case.
It is possible to remove a swollen battery although I think the correct term is definitely birth a swollen battery, as I just did 1 successfully and 1 unsuccessfully to the rest of the ipod, but still removed! If the battery is swollen, in most cases the screen may already be cracked or will get that way in order to get it out. Very poor design to retrieve Li-ion batteries for recycling. The battery that I was successful in getting out without damage was actually much more swollen than the other one but I learned from the 1st 1. I used a carpentry nail set so I did not put the tip inside the hole but on that piece of metal, which is quite strong. I put a piece of paper over the headphone connection to add some protection in case my nail set slid off while pushing. It took at least an hour or more, probably more but I had to take lots of breaks. Most of the time seemingly not budging it at all. My hand hurts now where I was gripping the ipod.
Cont.—-I would love to make my own pictorial about it because I had to push on it in such a way that I could still use my headlamp to see what I was doing and control where the nail set was pushing and not let it slip out of place. Before I started pushing I also used 1 of my blue plastic triangles to wedge some coconut oil down both the battery side and screen side. I really do think that helped a lot and may have even been a key factor so if anybody has a more appropriate lubricant for this type of electronics, I am open for suggestions. I wouldnt want to do it again but it was very beneficial to learning about how much force it can take and discovering some other tools that worked better in that situation. Also taking apart an ipod that didnt have a battery issue was so easy, I feel like a master now, lol.
my ipod is old and the screen is white (it was my moms). also can you sum this down im olny 10
It just means he wants you to use whatever tool you're using and push the rest of the iPod out via pushing through that hole, good luck!

Completely remove the display and logic board from the metal casing.
-
When reassembling, ensure that the battery is well seated. If the fit is too tight, the edge of the display will score the inside of the screen window.
When sliding back the logic board, watch out not to put too much stress on the side with the screen and the window, cause it may lead to annoying stripes on your window
reassembly : use a small dry paint brush to remove dust and crime from display screen to avoid spots .
