Thanks a heap for these instructions! I am now officially SuperMom in my daughter's eyes for fixing her iPod at a fraction of the cost of replacing it.
We certainly appreciate the detailed video which shows MOST of the steps. The Bluetooth antennae doesn't need to be disconnected as it doesn't impede removal.
But more over, the device you are showing the video has been disassembled. The battery is adhered to the back of the display. Your example has been removed prior to recording as shown by the edges being bent up a bit.
Overall it's a good Guide, and most normal folks should NOT attempt this repair.
Just our two cents.
Thanks again guys!
Cheers.

I just tried this. Due to all the unmentioned glue used in this thing, getting that display assembly out of the case was like pulling a face hugger off a colonist. Results were not good. In hind sight I should have just sent it in to be repaired. I'd appreciate an updated video showing the possible pain points one would experience in opening a real nano instead of a prepped, predisassembled one.
+duffahtolla I agree I just messed up my battery trying to remove it.
+iDenver Repairs wish i would have read this comment before attempting my repair
Yup. Its pretty much totally destroyed now due to all the glue that holds all the layers together. I could hear the LCD cracking as I tried to lift the chasis out to get to the fourth screw. It's not designed to be taken apart by any stretch of the imagination. I've fixed MacBookPros myself too. Ugh. Oh well.
Thanks for the vid..was trying to figure out how to take it apart to get to the contacts in the audio jack to clean/repair them. This helped a lot!
Hey, thanks for this. Although the screen isn't my problem, this gets me where I need to be. My problem is with the lightning jack.. I'm not sure how to fix that, but I can figure that out when I get there.
just a reminder this is a demostration under optimal condition where the glue are not stiff and the screen is not crack. my very old ipod with a cracked bottom screen means you will easily separate the digitizer from the display instead of the whole thing pullled off in one go. also the stiff glue makes you bend the metal frame before separating it and as a result i broke the display.
Great work very well illustrated loud and clear without wobble. Thks for taking time to show us the moment of Truth.
Thank you for this manual! All steps are understandables and very simples.
Did you use adhesive to put battery back in place? As well as display assembly whenn you put it back together??
I have the adehsive strips from your site as I bought a replacement touch screen. Im at the stage of puttjng back together.
Please advise thanks
Specific steps that are missing: 1) removing battery from the back of the LCD. It's not conveniently attacked to the back of the iPod the way it appears in the video, but instead pasted on the LCD frame, and requires gentle coaxing from all sides. PLAN on the LCD being trashed, and get a new one even if it's only the touch screen that's broken--they're usually sold together anyway. 2) Attaching the old button to the new lead. It took me a while to intuit that one, even though in retrospect it looks obvious. 3) Mounting the new LCD on the old LCD frame.
Also, since my original touch screen was shattered, it was difficult to tell what all was supposed to come out together. Specifically the frame didn't want to come out with the screen, and got bent all to hell. I wasn't sure at the time whether what I was mangling was something I was going to need later (it was). Luckily, it was salvageable.
How do you remove the home button from the old screen?
Totally mashed my LCD and touch screen, I have both parts now but am confused on how to get the home button off/put it on the new touch screen.
Thanks
Hi there, thank you for the video..Unfortunately I broke the metal housing the lcd sits in (the frame that you glue onto the digitizer), could you possible help where with a link where I cod purchase the frame please ? Rgds Sunny
hello, i just dropped my ipod and when i picked it up, there was a small dent on the back corner. i turned it on and i can only see half the screen (the other half is a series of white lines) is it possible to get the display fixed with this method or giving it to a repairman? or do i have to buy another one? :/
I have an apple iPod nano 7th generation. It has a problem with the volume turning itself down. I think the volume button was damaged when I put the "RooCase" cover on the iPod. Is there anyway to fix this? I did the diagnostic and it's definitely a defective "volume down" button that is causing the problem. Please help.
My iPod nano 7th gen went through a washing machine about a year ago, the screen does not turn on however when I plug it into my laptop it recognises the iPod and all the content on it. Would replacing the LCD/touch screen like in this video fix this problem? Thanks for vid by the way.
*Is a world class ipod nano 7 technician* :P
Thanks a lot! My dougter broke the glass. And now i CAN fix it. :-)
Елена Александрова how nice of you to fix it for her
HI, could you help me with something, please? I accidentally washed my iPod in a washing machine. I let it dry in the rice, how it didn't help much. Now when I turn on the iPod, I can see the menu only partially. The upper part of the screen provides 30% visibility, while screen down is kind of dead. The glass is not broken, does it mean that I will need the touch screen part only? I am trying to figure out where the problem is... Thanks!
Cool, thats what i need :)
My wife's front panel is starting to come off by one of the corners. I'd prefer not to take it to Apple to fix. Any ideas on how to keep it from coming off further?
My ipod nano screen is very dark and hard to see except in a couple spots. I think the LCD is broken but can still see it faintly, so could it be something is just loose?
HELP, my screen is back and when i connected and tried to restore it when it finished restoring i still have a black screen, i cant do anything about it ,help please?
i cracked the screen of my ipod and when i tried to see if i could get it fixed, apparently accidental damage is not covered by the warranty. and i dont have the patience or precision to do something like this.
Help I can't remove the LCD it won't budge
I don't need to replace my screen, but I dropped mine and the button on the top right (turns the screen on and off) got smushed in. How can I pop it back up?
Can someone please provide me with a link to screen replacement that comes WITH the frame??
my ipod nanos screen will turn on but it will not respond. I think it has water between the lcd and screen but idk how to fix it. Please help
Thanks it was so gret
do we really need to remove the bluetooth module?
I cant get the glass and screen off when I pry up on touch screen only the glass comes up and leaves the display behind.
great video. but i had no luck getting to battery. destroyed the lcd trying to get it out. oh well:(
My wonderful nano went through the wash just a couple days ago. After 48 hours in a bag of rice, everything worked fine.... except the touch screen was unresponsive. After putting it into diagnostic mode and reassuring myself that the touch panel failed the diagnostic test, I went ahead and ordered one of them there nifty replacement screens. Hopefully it's easier to replace than it looks xD
This is a difficult repair but with patients and the right tools I'm sure you can do it. A couple of tips I would suggest, when taking off the back plate don't use too much heat because the plastic will start to warp and remember the Bluetooth antenna is right underneath the plate, when peeling up the screen be careful not to bend the very thin frame that comes up with the lcd and digitizer, now if you get passed that part the battery is stuck really good with adhesive to the back of the lcd use the tad that's there to help lift the battery out if you try prying it with plastic pry tools then try not use too much pressure because the battery will bend and you will have to attempt to mold it back into place. Oh yeah, hopefully ***** sends you a working screen replacement since mine was defective :(
***** No problem,
Support was contacted and the situation is being handled at the moment :)
I had success today with an iPad mini screen replacement repair with the part that I received from you guys :)
Thanks
the touch screen is not responding when i place it above the lcd....any reason for it or method to fix it.
Oh I figured It out I pushed the space where the bt antenna was
THANK YOU!
thanks
Did actually like you did and there was another screw for the bluetooth and when I open the screen it didn’t pull up with the screen and bent the frame
maybe your glue got too old and need extra force to pry it off. look at the video the glue it is still white. mine has turned yellow i bent the frame and the battery comes off with the whole thing.
Do you have a video or a tip on how i can get an input jack out of the ipod(thisgen) because my friend broke it inside my ipod and i havent been able to remove it . Please and thank you
+Elky No specific video at this time. Stay tuned for any updates though. We will share this request with our video production team.
Good sharing
my ipod destroyed..
idiot
Acez Gamer v
If you weren't good a something like this why would do it. It would have been easier to just buy a new one
Acez Gamer bad luck my friend
My screen is smashed to smithereens and even fell out even a corner is missing but everything still works nothing a lil glue cant fix.. Replacing the screen looks like ill def break something else..
Well.... my screen cracked and I bought a replacement screen and tools, followed these instructions absolutely accurately. However, in removing the old screen, the glue holding the screen to the LCD screen frame below it was stronger than the frame itself, resulting in the frame braking. On attempting to complete the removal of the frame, it pulled the battery free from the housing.
Apple have made the internal gluing of the Nano stronger than the repair techniques suggested here, and for us amateurs disassembling it, there's a significant risk of damaging the interior because the glued joints are stronger than the components they are glued to. That's been my experience, and I now wish I'd sent it back for repair.
+philipg I'm sorry to hear this. The key is judicious application of heat.
well, it would have been helpful if this guidance video had suggested the judicious application of heat. I could have followed that guidance and saved myself a lot of money, and also a lot of wasted time.
I had the same problem, but was able to rescue the frame. The LCD, however was destroyed in the process. Luckily, the replacement touch screen I bought came with a replacement LCD. Because the LCD is so vulnerable in the disassembly, it seems a good idea to get the two together, even if you don't ultimately need the LCD.
Did you use some other type of adhesive to put display assembly back together?? What abt the battery did you put any adhesive to hold it together? Plz advise im at tht stage now. I have the adhesive strips I received from your site. Thanks.
the glass of my ipod nano broke during gym class so how do you replace the glass part?:/
(its really new and my brother bought it for me for my birthday 2 months ago and i want to fix it!)
it might be covered with apple care (for 1 year)
is it possible to have one for battery replacement? I think I have an idea of how to approach it but I want to be sure before.
***** I'm referring a battery replacement for this model iPod Nano 7th gen I have an extra battery and all the tools but can't find a video on battery replacement only LCD and cracked screens
do you know if i can change the memory for a bigger one? i want this ipod but 16gb are not enough for me
+Juan Carlos Osuna Unfortunately no, you would require an entire new iPod.
Wow, where'd you go to find that background music? Not bundled with Windows, was it? Anyway. this was helpful, I guess
lol
Usefull
why did you have to remove the bluetooth in order to take the screen off?
Because there's two screws fixing the display assembly to the casing behind the bluetooth.
Another random question. I have another Nano that went through the wash by accident. The ipod still connects to the computer/iTunes but the screen doesn't work at all, would a replacement screen fix that or is that another issue?
***** Oh okay, so if I took it apart and just connected it but not put it back together to test it out, would that let me see if it solves the issue?
what adhesive do i use
help.. my husband just got m e this ipod 7th gen, when i connect my ear phones to it i can not hear anything unless i lean the connector to the side. what do i do?
Get new headphones
sir, i have black lines on my display which is rendering that portion of ipod's screen irresponsive....which part has the problem and what will cost of replacing?
+Sohom Dan Sounds like the LCD and Digitizer are both causing you an issue. The lines would be the LCD, the unresponsiveness would be the digitizer. We offer the replacement parts here www.fixez.com/store/ipods/ipod-nano/ipod-nano-7th-gen Contact us if you have any other questions.
Windows 7 song in a video about an Apple product. What has the world come to?

I have a different problem: The top part of an AUX plug got stuck in my iPod. I have found it impossible to get out without opening iPod.
pissoutmyassable use a screw or use the ink tube from the inside of a cheap pen. make it expand a little by forcing it to the broken piece stuck inside, then super glue the tip of ink tube pen. let it sit over night and you should be able to pull out easily.
nice
I just got a ipod nano 7th Gen about a week ago. As soon as I charged it up and turned it on, it had lines on the screen, 5 white horizontal lines and 3 multicolored vertical lines, I tried restoring it but it didn't work. The lines didn't make too much difference and I could still see the screen well enough. But then a couple days ago, I let the battery run right down, I then plugged it into my laptop to charge but neither my computer or itunes detected it was connected. I assumed it would still charge though. But it's been charging for over 10 hours and it still won't turn on. Any ideas what is wrong with it/how I can fix it? Thanks in advance
Could be a defective LCD, take it to an apple store in hopes that they'll replace the iPod.
Emily Cox look for "videos that repair the dead pixels" it isn't a joke. It works
So my bluetooth antenna was completely glued to the backing plate and completely tore off when I took off the backing plate. I can't even get the antenna off after the fact I took it off. Should the ipod have been warmed up beforehand? as well can the ipod function without it?
***** Appreciated and it's not really needed for me as I use Aux. I'm just kind of skeptical on doing it myself in case I damage it tis all. Seems really finicky to me. I appreciate the reply.
***** So I finally got around to ordering and replacing everything but the screen is not touch sensitive. What I assume is a faulty digitizer so I've emailed you about a replacement.
didn't warn me the battery may be stuck to the fucckking LCD, Stuffed it.. thanks guys..
good job, well done, looks easy but i bet it's not,
+stigonutube Thank you for the feedback. The repair does have its difficulties, specifically keeping in mind the size of the device. Nonetheless, thank you for the support.
After replacing the digitizer, right side of touch is unresponsive. Any suggestions? The black flex cables are not cut and folded properly.
***** Been through several and can't get one new digitizer to work. Must be doing something wrong.
***** no
Pretty good instructional video, but that's far from how mine went. I was nice, real nice and I destroyed part of the LCD. Fortunately, I was smart and bought the LCD with the new screen and tools because homework online said I'd probably kill it during the repair. The adhesive was a straight bitch and made removing the shattered glass a real job. Prying the entire assembly with the frame out from the unit? Yep, that sucked the most. I spent almost an hour on that part alone because there was enough adhesive to seal a gorilla's ass cheeks together. Another video suggested a blow dryer to soften the adhesive. That did help. Keep track of your screws. They are itty bitty and not the same size so track where they go. The replacement adhesive that came with my kit seemed sticky enough and was 3m but my screen kept coming loose after assembly so I heated it a little with the blow dryer and then stacked some books on it. So, hopefully tomorrow it'll be good to go. Then I'll charge it and turn it on and hope I didn't royally fuck anything up. Of course, the alternative was to buy a new one and I'd rather be a glutton for punishment and fix broken shit and expand my skill set. But, if this works, then $25 for the screen, lcd, and tools was well worth the trouble and frustration because I hate buying electronics. If it works, I'm buying a case for it. I also have a 2nd gen nano from 2003. I took that thing to Iraq twice. It still works and I think it's better than these wimpy touch screened ipods. I can't count how many times I dropped that one. I also have an ipod touch and immediately bought a case for that one so it doesn't shatter.
Same here, I brought the tools from fixez and requested a refund! The video shows none of the glue that is on the actual ipod making one think they can do this repair at home. I hope they refund me if not I'll contacting the bbb on false advertisement
I want one
Help!, my nano does not load, I've tried other chargers. just ran out of battery and now does not respond
no, nothing like that. it just stopped charging, I have tried several chargers and does not work. I've cleaned it with a sewing needle ... may have been that? :s
and has a solution? please :c
I broke mv connector port....
well the blutooth antenna is glued like crazy to all pieces so that ripped off right off the bat
Using a hair dryer to heat the adhesive may have been a good idea.
how much to fix the lcd
+AshrF RIDdzuan Please email our team directly. support@fixez.com
Hello bro how to replace the headphone jack ?
+Hichamov Youssoufa Unfortunately the headphone jack is soldered onto the motherboard and that repair is outside the scope of our videos.
+Fixez.com yes I dissembled the iPod and it's soldered in the logic board so can we repair it ? And thanks for the answer !
I wouldn't recommend it - you would be better off getting a new logic board.
MY GOD!!! A Song Of Windows On A Video Of A Apple Product :0
HORRIBLE replacement guide. Does NOT show the battery glued to the LCD, which is NOT just an easy pop-out, but a pry out from hell. Further, when trying to put the screen back in, it WON'T GO, as the metal of the framework keeps bumping into the white plastic bit on the bottom left.
Ipod nanos are HORRIBLY designed POS junk.
@DiversePixel the guide is shit, you can't miss out a major issue when doing a guide.
I really hate how these things are assembled because it caused me to bend the battery off the frame while i was trying to replace the screen. It was the absolute worst case of attempted repair of a product i personally own. I hate Apple products because they're so unpredictable and depending on the model, you'll never get the desired results of which in my case i screwed up the repair and i really wanted to fix the thing. I will never live that down...
Fixez misses one very crucial piece of information. The battery is glued to the back of the LCD. This is very important and just cost me the loss of my iPod.
following the video they make absolutely no mention of this very important detail.
What happens is this, when you pry away the LCD to then remove the last connections, if your battery is glued to the back of the LCD, you will rip the connection of the battery, making your iPod complete unrepairable.
I'm now out 50 bucks for the parts and tools plus the cost of a new iPod nano. (135.99+ tax on sale at target) total cost to fix my iPod nan? 195 dollars.
thanks fixez, you really helped me out a whole lot. not.
+Thomas Jefferson We apologize about this. We'll ensure to provide this feedback to our video production team in order to put a disclaimer with these details.
+Fixez.com so how did you remove the battery?
+Vanna-Lee Fields I didn't. when I pried away the screen from the body, I didn't see that the battery was glued to the LCD.
even gently removing the LCD from the body with the battery glued it, will cause the battery connection to rip. It's very thin. I only discovered this after I discovered the battery was glued to the LCD.
So as a result, in one second flat, my nano went from something repairable to trash.
My goodness. I am faced with having to replace mine or undertake this diy project. I would like ***** to answer the question though or direct me to the video showing how to remove it
Unfortunately we do not have a video on the battery removal. We'll do our best to upload one, we can only ask to check back for any updates. Thank you

What you failed to say is that the Bluetooth antennae is GLUED and now it is ripped and wrecked!!!!!
DO NOT FOLLOW these instructions!!!!!
and the fucking bluetooth snapped off with the cover
and its completely fucked ..
Do Not Try This.. This model is a bitch to take apart and putting it back together is even worse. just sell it and buy a new one trust me. I cracked the fucken LCD, and I took my sweet as time. you will find it on ebay if interested.
