every try it?...if so, how did it go?

tried it with my first one..
it wasn't worth it, the thing is still dead.

you're better off re-vamping

It's not TOO hard to do. If you buy a battery for it, they usually come with a kit that has the tools and instructions on how to pry the iPod apart and replace the battery. The kits are well under or right at $20 (same for replacement harddrives).

Try www.ipodjuice.com or www.ipodbatterydepot.com or www.ipodbattery.com

Just know that when you open it, you lose any warranty you might have on it.

if there still is warranty on it, can apple not take care of it?

Hmmm, they might. These days, they probably would, but I'd hate to say yay or nay on it, because I'm not sure. They're pretty good about taking care of folks, so it can't hurt to take it in and see what they can do for you. They want you to be happy w/ the product, so they're sure to help you, ESPECIALLY if there is still a warranty on it.

My roommate's Macbook crack (it was a known flaw), and he took it to the Apple Store one Saturday to be repaired. Before he got home (a 20 minute drive), they had called him back and said it was done, and ready to be picked up.

Can't do it.

Isn't Apple just the BEST?

You're not supposed to, but it can be done. But if it's under warranty, they should just take it back.

Its very easy, I brought mine from ipodjuice, very easy instructions, just be very careful when taking the back off!!

I was picking up my macpro from the shop (second time in for repairs - luckily I'd got my warranty extended ) and a lady came in with her daughter's nano which had died, it was JUST out of the 12 month warranty, so they couldn't give her a new one, but they did give her a discount voucher to help buy a replacement (at least that was what it sounded like to me who was eavesdropping )
