ipod battery replacement
« on: January 15, 2007, 09:30:21 PM »
I think I remember seeing someone previously suggesting a website that can replace an ipod battery - prepaying w/a credit card and having the company send you a prepaid box to send them your ipod in?  Does this sound familiar?  My mini and older click-wheel ipods hold a full charge for less than one hour!  I have an Apple store very close by, but want to make sure I don't overpay...  Thank you!

Hi yourself. smile.gif

Everyone here sure likes Lorraine.

You buy a Battery and the Installation Service.

http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/ipod/battery/install-service/

They send you a box with your Battery.

You put your iPod and the battery in the box and send it off.

They send your iPod back with new Battery installed. smile.gif
