last February my iPOD-mini ceased to exist as its battery is DEAD! waaah … it almost broke my heart as I really love my iPOD-mini and twas been with me since 2004 … anyway, I kept it in my drawer and been inquiring AppleCenter for replacing the battery but twas too expensive as they quoted about 3-4k for the battery and would take probably about 3weeks to fix it, yikes!!!

yesterday I bought from a friend (longbeard) a battery replacement kit for the iPOD-mini (with the tools) and was able to replace it w/o a problem though I dented the top while pulling it off which is kinda acceptable for me, hahaha … anyway, nkatago nman sya so no problem which the most important thing is that I was able to revive it again and walking my way home from the office listening to songs that would let time passes me by

btw, all pictures were taken using Sherwin’s new Nikon D40 cam which is really kewl … just see the results

to all who wanted to revive or replace their iPOD-mini battery, be cautious opening the top part as not to dent it that much as I did mine, hehehe … the challenging part was at the bottom where in you have to remove the clip that supports the board underneath.

the dents caused by me, hehehe
