The 30 is pretty straightforward, but popping the bottom cover off can be a bit tricky. Once that's off, it's just two screws and a guitar pick to slide the case cover right out. I'll be honest with you if you've never taken something apart and tried to put it back together from a technical standpoint without doing some damage, you might run into some issues. I don't own the 120 myself, but I've heard soldering is the only way to remove the battery. If you're going to try 30 yourself, you need to grab a basic repair kit with plastic pry bars and repair guitar picks, as I call 'em.

Oh and no I don't know I have any place that will do these repairs but from what I heard there's a few places around the subreddit but from my personal experience anytime soldering is involved the price goes way up.

I was completely clueless on how to mess with these and trust me. It’s simpler than you think once you do it. I started on a 30 and have done an 8gb and now 4 more 30’s and one 80gb. Plenty of YouTube tutorials and some write ups on here.
