The following step can be challenging and time consuming. Be sure to go slowly and have patience to prevent damaging your iPod.
Use an Exacto knife to separate the glue holding the USB port on the iPod. Run the knife along the seam between the two sections of the iPod until the glue is separated. Expect to run the knife along this edge 20-30 times before the glue will be entirely freed.

This is the most difficult part of disassembly. The risk is breaking the case. I found that it's like cutting through hard plastic. Takes a lot of time

Heating up the glue with a foehn makes it easier

It would be good to use cut resistant gloves to protect your hands.

I'm curious if anyone has ever tried soaking this send of the shuffle in 99% isopropyl alcohol to disolve the adhesive and allow the USB to pop off more easily. Might give it a try, but I'm guessing the lettering might also come off from that.

Continue to run the knife around all four edges of the USB port until the glue is released. You may be able to gently wiggle the knife from side to side to help release the glue.

Use a spudger to push on the headphone jack and slide the USB port out of its housing.
If the USB port doesn't come free, check to make sure all the glue holding the USB port in place has been released. Pulling on the USB port itself is not recommended as there is a fragile ribbon cable that can be ripped if the USB port suddenly comes free.

Using the pointed end of a spudger stick ended up deforming the opening for the headphone jack. I'd suggest finding a tool that doesn't widen beyond the width of the opening.

After the USB port comes free, carefully slide it out of its housing. Don't pull it out too far because there's still a ribbon cable connecting it to the logic board.

You can place a piece of tape over the battery indicator in this step to prevent it from falling out in Step 9. :)

Turn the iPod so that the click wheel is facing up. This will prevent the battery indicator from falling out.
If the battery indicator does fall out, don't forget to replace it prior to reassembling the iPod. Getting the battery indicator back in place can be tricky. You'll have to slide it in from the end of the iPod's casing and get it to fall into its slot in the casing.
Slide the iPod out of its casing.

Carefully peel the yellow USB ribbon up from the battery.

번역하기

Start by lifting from the port end of the ribbon; the tape is strongest and easiest to pull up from there. I pulled up from the corner shown in the picture and ended up ripping the tape. :'(

What is a foehn? I google searched foehn and didn't find anything useful.

If you are only replacing the battery there is no need to remove the memory board. Cut the wires from the old battery as close to the battery as you can. Then cut the black wire from the new battery so that it is about 1/2 inch long. Strip the ends about 1/8 inch and solder. Slip a piece of 3/32 heat shrink tubing over the joint. Now cut the red wire so that it is about 1/2 inch long and strip as above, solder and cover with heat shrink tubing. It works!
