iPod PSA if you need a new battery
Apple iPod - battery cracked screen On the picture you can see my Apple iPod Video 5th generation with the screen cracked. That happened when the original battery, which is located behind the screen, started to expand. It applied enough pressure on the screen to break it. So, if you know that your iPod needs a new battery, you should replace it sooner rather than putting it off.
