My Flatmate bought a couple of weeks a video ipod because his 3rd gen ipod’s battery has died. He told me it will be expensive to get it fix, so I’ve googled for a cheaper solution and found somewhere a nice howto. Tuesday I’ve ordered via ebay a new 1100ma/h Battery and yesterday it arrived. It took me 10 minutes to change it. And now I’m going to use my new Ipod for the first time – which means – I have music on my ears again. yay! 
Edit: The Ipod works fine. Cool!
