I got the tools. I got the new batteries. Now wish me luck for replacing the batteries of my 20+ year old iPods. A classic gen 6 and a 3rd gen Nano.
The iPod nano 3G is open. And as expected, it has a bloated battery. But that can be fixed. It is still working, so a new battery should bring it back.
Rob Fahrni@jwildeboer Have you upgraded it to larger storage? I know it can be done with some iPods, not sure about this one?
@fahrni No, it stays an 8GB iPod nano. I’m only swapping in a new battery.
@jwildeboer The Nano, like you have, is the best form factor iPod, in my opinion.
I did a little reading and they’re kind of difficult to upgrade. The standard iPod gen 4 and up are — apparently — easy to upgrade.
Andrew@fahrni @jwildeboer not sure the nano storage can be upgraded without BGA soldering. the classic/mini was easy because they used hard drives.
