You could just take it to the store instead of trying to replace it yourself. That way, you wont end up breaking it! ;)

Or you could replace it yourself after looking up videos on youtube on how to do it.

Costs $80

I have a brand new 4th gen ipod nano with a faulty battery... I can either sell it "broken" or replace the battery....

Try and fix it yourself. If it works, you've got your ipod back. If it doesn't, then sell it as broken.
