Pair it with a new battery
If your iPod's battery is original, it's worth replacing at the same time. The case is already open, so it costs less than doing it separately.

Frequently asked questions
Will I lose my music?
The old drive is replaced, so the iPod comes back empty and ready to sync. If you need music recovered from the old drive, add music recovery when you book.
Do I need special software?
No. The upgraded iPod works with Finder on a Mac or iTunes and Apple Devices on Windows, just like before.
Can you also replace the screen or case?
Yes. Screens, click wheels, headphone jacks and new cases can all be done in the same visit.
