@jwildeboer The Nano, like you have, is the best form factor iPod, in my opinion.
I did a little reading and they’re kind of difficult to upgrade. The standard iPod gen 4 and up are — apparently — easy to upgrade.
@fahrni @jwildeboer not sure the nano storage can be upgraded without BGA soldering. the classic/mini was easy because they used hard drives.

The iPod nano 3G is open. And as expected, it has a bloated battery. But that can be fixed. It is still working, so a new battery should bring it back.
@jwildeboer Wow. Please tell us your experience how easy or hard it was. I have also a nano and a classic. Both need a battery replacement.
Where have you bought the needed stuff? And is there a good how to? Do you need soldering? -

@thorsten Yes, you need to understand how these clips work that hold everything together. Because you need force to get them to open. The nano need soldering, the 6/7th gen doesn't.

New battery installed. Tested. Case closed
iPod nano 3G is back for many more years of service, hopefully That was definitely a tough repair. These iPod nanos are quite demanding to pry open. But does is done. Onward to saving more devices from ending up at the landfill.
