Dang. This video is ok, but I was able to swap out my ipod mini battery using a kit from http://www.ipodjuice.com - it was a good price and the instructions warn you about all sorts of things this clips fails to mention. You might want to get a kit there in addition to using this video as a reference.

gotta agree with chuckster: ipodjuice is good. Used them for my IPOD mini and a 3rd gen and both work better than when i first bought ‘em.
