Hi everyone,

Does anyone know where I might could buy a replacement battery for my Ipod? I've had it for a few years and its starting die quickly these days. The few sites I've tried to order replacement kids from from that are stateside won't ship here. By the way, I'm in Seoul.

Thanks

I might be able to find something, but first I need to know the model (suffle, nano, classic) and which generation your player is. Different generations of these buggers use different batteries.

I have a 30GB video ipod (fifth generation).

Thanks again.

Looks like different sized 5th generation ipods use different batteries. Anyway, try the link below. I think that they have what you need.

I'm sorry that it's all in Korean, but I'm sure that you know someone who can help you to order what you need. Take care!

I wonder how you'd change the battery in an IPOD 80GB classic. It's one year old and holding up well, but when I look at it, there seems to be no possible way and they say you have to send it in to be serviced. I guess most countries have service at Apple stores?

This site has all the info you need. They provide tutorials how you to open most (if not every) Apple product. The link below is for 4th gen ipod Photo.
