Breathe New Life Into Your Dead iPod
FreakyControl writes "Popular Science is running an article this month about how to change that dead iPod battery, along with links to sites that have other cool iPod hacks. It looks like Casey Neistat figured out how to do it for them, after ruining his own during a similar attempt: 'A few weeks later, PopSci gave him another third-party battery, this time from pdasmart.com ($60), and another iPod from a staffer with the same problem. That one survived and went back to its owner. And Casey ended up spending $400 on a new one.' Looks like all you iPod people may still have hope!"
The end result is this; he spent $800 and has one working ipod. Lets be nice and say he has used this current one for 6 months, that's $33 a month ($800/24 months), thats more than a months wages for some third-world coutries.
