Helping a friend

A friend's iPod video was completely dead. After leaving it plugged into a known good power supply for 48 hours it finally booted and worked just fine, so I knew it was a battery issue and that the HD was good. The battery was the obvious failure.

It did take a little extra effort to remove the face plate from the case, but that was documented and therefore expected. What I didn't expect was that was the hardest part. The rest was super easy. I've fixed stuff all my life, but having the guide was a great help.

**on a side note, my friend had left the original plastic protective shield on the iPod making it very difficult to use normally.
