If you're an iPod fanatic (you know who I'm talking

that after they replaced their original iPod battery with one from
Newertech they went from 4 hours to 21 hours of playtime. It cost them
$40 and five minute's effort, (although this definitely voids the
warranty). The $40 includes a tool set and installation guide, and if
you tack on the coupon code 'HIGHROAD' when you check out you can get
the NewerTech RoadTrip FM Transmitter device for only $9.99. Not bad,
especially if you've got an older iPod (1st or 2nd gen) with a worn

iPod battery swap surprisingly easy
iPod battery swap surprisingly easy
09/08/2004 09:45 PM
Mark Frauenfelder:
Plenty of people have swapped a new battery into their iPod, so the
fact that I did it, too, is nothing new. But the fact that someone as
clumsy as I am did it in about ten minutes without destroying the iPod
is surprising. If you're as fumbled fingered as I am and have been
afraid to open your iPod, I hope this gives you the courage to take
action.
Here's what happened: Last year, I gave my six-year-old daughter my
old 10 Gig old-style iPod, because I got a 20 Gig model. Last month,
she started complaining that the battery wasn't holding a charge. This
is a known problem with iPods. Last week, her iPod was dying after
running for just a few minutes. It was time to crack it open.
Using Froogle, I searched on "iPod battery" and found this replacement unit for $30. The shipping was around $6 and it
arrived via 2-day UPS.
(Click images for enlargement)
When it
arrived (on time), I opened it and found the battery, some
instructions (the same ones found here), and a
cute-as-a-button miniature screwdriver with a little clip on it so you
can insert it in a shirt pocket. Following the instructions, I
carefully inserted the screwdriver into the crack between the metal
case and clear plastic lid. But the screwdriver's blade was way too
thick to get into the seam. I ended up gouging the plastic.
I set the
screwdriver aside and grabbed a kitchen knife. It took about three or
four minutes of tentative probing before I could get the knife blade
worked in far enough to give me enough leverage to start to separate
the top from the bottom. Once I got it started, though, I was able to
use the adorable little screwdriver to pry the iPod the rest of the
way open.
The old
battery was attached to the hard drive with a couple of strips of
padded, double-sided tape. I tore the tape a little while removed the
old battery, and one of the strips got stuck to itself, but it wasn't
a big deal. The battery has a couple of wires coming out of it, ending
in a tiny white plug that goes into a socket. It was easy to unplug. I
took the new battery and stuck it onto the sticky tape. Then I plugged
it in the little socket. The cover snapped right on.
After
charging it overnight, I gave it to my daughter and it has been
running for hours. Mission accomplished!
FastMac introduces iPod battery upgrade
FastMac introduces iPod battery upgrade
06/22/2005 01:54 AMFastMac on Monday announced an iPod battery upgrade that utilizes
patented nanoparticle technology. The company's new upgrade utilizes
patented nanoparticle technology codenamed “TruePower,” that
significantly slows the degradation of the battery by protecting and
preventing damage to the battery’s internal lithium crystal matrix
caused by power spikes.
“If you’re spending more time recharging your iPod than you are
actually using it, this upgrade is for you” Business Development
Manager for FastMac Performance Upgrades Michael Lowdermilk said.
“This really is the last battery your iPod will ever need.”
The upgrade is available for first, second and third generation iPods
and comes with a two-year warranty.

Settlement reached in iPod battery
lawsuit
06/05/2005 11:20 PMApple is offering consumers who had battery problems with older
versions of the popular iPod digital music player $50 vouchers and
extended service warranties under a tentative settlement in a
class-action lawsuit.
According to AP, lawyers representing consumers in the state court
case said that the settlement could affect as many as 2 million people
nationwide who purchased first-, second- and third-generation iPods
through May 2004. Apple confirmed the settlement but has not
officially commented.
The settlement comes after eight consumers filed a suit in 2003,
alleging that the iPod failed to live up to claims that the
rechargeable battery would last the product's lifetime and play music
continuously for up to 10 hours. According to the terms of the
settlement, people who fill out a claim form are entitled to receive
$50 redeemable toward the purchase of any Apple products or services
except iTunes downloads or iTunes gift certificates.
Consumers will be notified of the tentative settlement in three ways:
by e-mail, by letters, and through advertisements in USA Today and
Parade Magazine in the next month, said Elizabeth C. Pritzker, an
attorney at Burlingame-based law firm Cotchett, Pitre, Simon &
McCarthy LLP, which represented two plaintiffs. Apple has agreed to
pay up to $2.8 million to the two law firms that represented
consumers.

Readers respond to Xeni's "iPod Beemer"
post with in-car digital audio tips
09/10/2004 12:02 AM
Xeni Jardin:
Following up on yesterday's post (
Link) about my week-long test drive of BMW's new iPod-integrated
330ci convertible, more in-car audio tech pointers from BoingBoing
readers. Meanwhile, I'm still mopping up drool around the office. That
iPod Beemer was nerd-o-licious.
Michael Morgan says, "One of the better approaches I have seen relies
on using the CD changer inputs that many car stereos have. The simpler
products, such as the one I have, provide RCA audio jacks. Better ones
allow iPod control through the CD changer controls. The sound quality
is better than FM or cassette tape adapters although the integration
of iPod display and control is either poor or absent." Link
Nik Clayton says, "You should try out Dension's IceLink 1.1. This
provides a cradle/dock that you can mount on the dash (damage free).
Just drop the iPod in the dock, and the audio's taken from iPod's dock
connector (far better quality than the headphone socket) and routed to
the stereo, in place of the CD-multichanger. So the steering wheel
controls work for changing tracks, and so on. And, of course, your
iPod's there on the dash, so you can see all the information it
displays. It also works in cars other than BMWs." Link
BoingBoing reader Chris says, "There are two other common solutions;
some car radios now have a front panel auxiliary input. Just get a
'stereo plug to stereo plug' cable, and away you go. The other option
is one of the FM modulators that plugs into the antenna lead. See the
Farenheit EFM-01 or the JVC KS-IF200 - likely found many places but
they re listed at Crutchfield. They are a little trickier to install,
but as long as your car FM radio has an antenna (!) they should work.
Link."
Neil replies to a comment submitted to BoingBoing by reader Becky (
Link). He says, "To follow-up on Becky's problem with iPod
installations in cars without cassette adapters there is actually
another solution. Blitzsafe makes adapters that plug into the CD
changer port that lives in most cars, and converts it to an AUX input
for your car stereo. Then you can run a regular stereo cable to the
front of the car to plug in any device you like (such as an iPod). I
used one to install XM Satellite radio in my BMW. Sadly, it doesn't
look like they have any for Saturn cars yet :( -- Link to Blitzsafe."
Tom Karches says, "A company called
Soundgate (Link) makes a number
of devices that allow iPods to be attached to factory or aftermarket
stereos. Their auxillary input adapters attach to the cd changer plug
on cd changer ready stereos and pass the audio through the changer
input. If you have a changer already, they have a model that plugs in
between the stereo and the changer and provides a switch to select the
changer or the ipod. This does not provide ipod control,
unfortunately. Perhaps something like this would help: Link. I'll probably put the Soundgate
adapter in my minivan. If I decide to equip the honda similarly, I'll
probably go with an inline RF modulator like this or this."
Anthony Hall says, "Although BMW claims
they are the first car manufacturer with integrated iPod support I
actually saw ads for Smart cars shipping with iPod cradles several
months ago... I dunno, perhaps it's considered third party but Smart
was plugging it in the own ads in the UK. Looks liker a much simpler
proposition to me. I agree with you that having the iPod just rolling
around loose in the glove compartment is nuts." Link

For those of you who care for
your iPod more than your own liver, TechRestore has launched their
iPodRestore program. For $29, you can select the Full-Restore plan and
wait as a specially designed box is sent your way for you to ship your
iPod in. It includes overnight shipping both ways, and an estimate.
There's also the Self-Restore option if you know how to work a roll of
packaging tape for only $10, but you have to supply your own
materials. After they receive your iPod, a technician will contact you
within 24 hours with a diagnosis and repair price. You can elect to
have them fix your Pod or send it back at no additional cost. They
specialize in battery upgrades, screen replacement and audio jack
repair, so this may be the perfect solution if your iPod is beginning
to show its age but don't want to drop $300 on a new unit. (They also
offer hard drive upgrades.)
