Apple iPod Nano 7th
DISASSEMBLING PROCEDURE
Slightly warm up plastic tab to loosen the adhesive.
Use a plastic opening tool to pull the rear plastic cover away from the device until there is enough room to insert a spudger.
Insert a spudger under the cover, then pry it up and away from the device.
Remove the rear plastic cover from the iPod.
Be very careful in removing the plastic cover as the bluetooth antenna is adhered to it.
Gently bend the Bluetooth antenna to the right, out of the way of the screws in the bottom of the device.
Remove the single 1.4 mm Phillips #000 screw from the black plastic spacer.
Use a plastic opening tool to remove the black plastic spacer from the Nano.
Remove the two 2 mm Phillips #000 screws from the bottom of the case.
Insert a plastic opening tool into the seam between the white plastic front panel and the rear case.
Slide the opening tool along the edge of the front panel to free it from clips and adhesive.
Use a spudger to press the midframe screw tab up and out of the rear case.
Use a metal spudger to carefully pry near the Lightning connector and under all parts of the front panel assembly: the front glass/digitizer, the LCD display and the metal midframe.
The adhesive under the metal midframe/display assembly is quite strong and the components are fragile, so go slowly and gently. Make sure you do not bend the LCD screen.
Continue prying along the edges under the front panel assembly, releasing the clips and adhesive along the sides of the device.
Pull the front panel assembly slightly down and partially out of the device.
You only need to open the device enough to gain access to the display cable connectors near the sleep/power button.
Do not separate the two halves entirely, they are still connected by several cables.
Use a spudger to release the digitizer cable and display data cable connectors.
Gently unfold the two halves of the device to access the internal components.
Do not try to completely separate the two sections, yet, as they are still attached via a soldered cable.
Pull up on the battery pull tab to free the battery from its adhesive. Flip the battery over into the rear case for safekeeping.
Completely separate the front panel assembly from the rest of the device.
Insert a spudger under the metal midframe and display on the left side of the home button.
Make sure that the spudger is under the entire display assembly to prevent bending the metal midframe.
Rotate the spudger around the home button and across the front panel, releasing the adhesive holding the display in place.
Once all of the adhesive has been released, gently separate the display assembly from the front glass/digitizer.
Use the flat end of a spudger to push the home button gasket toward the center of the button to release the light adhesive.
Work your way around the home button in this manner until you can easily remove the button from the front glass.
To prevent tearing the gasket around the home button, do not pry the home button out until the adhesive has been sufficiently loosened.
Remove the home button from the front glass/digitizer.
