Death of my iPod

I woke up this morning to grab a copy of Ultimate Ghosts and Goblins when I went to grab my iPod and it wouldn't turn on; this was odd because last time I had looked at it, the battery was at least 3/4 full. I tried to charge it, and nothing happened, so I got a little worried when I remembered that when I bought the cabling that one day they sold replacement iPod Batteries too. So I got home with my game and an iPod Battery replacement kit, and well, it wasn't good. I didn't really understand what the poxxy instructions were telling me what to do and I broke the damn tool that is used to open it with... I ended up having to buy a replacement tool on eBay for about £4 that I'll hopefully have by the end of the weekend.

Talking about broken iPods I remember a forum thread about how to replace an iPod Mini battery and how someone discovered that they're iPod Mini wasn't working because the cable from the battery was getting loose and that it needed to be plugged back firmly to the power jumpers inside the iPod. I'm hoping I got the same problem here, because as I said, last time I looked at my iPod it was only 3/4 full. So the Battery can't be dead just yet, I bought the battery replace set more as a backup incase anything really, really bad happens to my iPod. But I think the problem with mine is that the battery to loose and needs to be tightened.
