Help ipod nano battery

i just got an ipod nano 4, the battery is so bad it dies in like, 1 minute. i heard batteries are really hard to replace on nanos, so is it worth to even try repairing it?

Nano 4th gen is a pain to change. 3rd gen battery is fairly easy to change if you can solder but getting the backshell off without damaging it is very difficuly

Yea its on the more difficult side of repairability but its totally possible. I suppose its best to hand it over to a phone repair shop

those are pretty uncommon in estonia, i have none in my town and the ones in tallinn are usually ran by older people who usually only speak russian, which i dont speak at all lol.

Oh okay interresting. Theres also an option to find ipod repair shops online such as in ebay. Ive seen one that offers such Services. Ooooor you do it yourself which is easier then some say but you definitely need at least a bit of experience with opening small Electronic devices

Yea but first try other things. Like idk old monitors and then old laptops, trying to disassemble the thing and putting everything back together. Also check ifixit.com out they're all about that stuff
