Changing the battery on an iPod Nano 7th generation.

 First cracking the LCD(no biggy as I can get another one for $10.)
 But when soldering off the battery, ripped off one of the metal ends, not sure if I can fix that.

 Repair gone bad! Hate such repairs that requires heat (heatgun/blow dryer). And extremely delicate.

 While a simple phone like the LG Exalts bigger parts and no soldering needed, is real simple to take apart and fix.

I remember those batteries went bad fast. Reminds me of a repair I did for the 6th Gen, it apparently was a common issue for the power button to stop working, so we surgically added some rolled paper inside.

Cool, I remember taking apart the Nintendo DS R and L buttons and soaking them in alcohol because they stopped working properly, supposedly it was because of little dirt particles they got stuck between the button and where it would click.

you need to use the website or app. Search for what you need and then it tells which aisle, which bay.

LOL, I thought I was only crazy one the night before adding all the items I want in my app, browser and used that as my shopping list!
