Ipod Battery - Replacing It

iPod battery replacements with these easy instructions. Please be warned that although replacing the battery is easy, it will nullify your warranty with Apple. I don't want to be deemed liable for the harm done to your iPod because of this article, so do this at your own stake.

Things you should realize before replacing your iPod battery:

1. Apple has an official out-of-warranty battery replacement program for $59 + $6.95 shipping in the United States(see Europe and Canada pricing). The policy requires that you send in your iPod (any model), and Apple will change the battery and ship it to you for $59 plus handling and shipping. Technically, Apple in reality exchanges your whole unit with an equivalent original model or factory-refurbished model in a brand new cover, with its own 90-day service warranty; if it was previously engraved by Apple, it will be engraved again.

2. The iPod warranty is one year but you can expand it for two years with AppleCare Protection Plan for iPod. Various merchants have inexpensive extended warranty coverage available and often these programs purely change the product with a corresponding new unit.

3. Over the course of time, the battery will not hold the same degree of charge as when it was newly bought. This is natural, and occurs to all lithium ion batteries. This gradual degradation will not affect, or be noticed by, most users during the life of their iPod. %Yet%, based on usage, environmental factors, and several other variables, some heavy users may observe a great degradation than others. It is important to understand that this is the exact same degradation that would occur with any lithium ion battery employed in any laptop, cell phone, portable music player, etc.

4. The iPod's cover is not designed to be opened, so, in that respect, it's not what would in general be referred to as "user-replaceable". Yet, with the proper set of tools you can change the iPod battery yourself and avert all the trouble by going through Apple.

Procedures:

Step 1 - Procure an iPod battery online or in a retail shop nearest you. iPod batteries can be bought for as low as $11. You have to be sure that the replacement battery you buy is for your iPod.

Step 2 - Turn off your iPod and set the hold button to the on position. Take a flathead screwdriver, as thin as possible but oftentimes the retail store that sends you the battery will give you a tool. In any case, you must open up the unit by putting the tool or screwdriver between the plastic and the metal. Once you sense a clip, pry it ever so gently. Continue around the iPod, opening each latch.

Step 3 - You are going to have to employ that tool or screwdriver again to extract the battery from the hard drive. Once taken out, unplug it from the board.

Step 4 - Connect in the newly bought battery to the board of the iPod (where you unconnected the old battery) and set it on the glue that remained on the hard drive. Make sure that the battery and the wires are set properly so you can actually close the iPod. Snap the cover back together, you'll hear it when it's finished!

Step 5 - Switch on and charge the device. That's it and your iPod battery is successfully replaced.

Why Do Businesses Prefer T1 And T3 Bandwidth Connections?

When a business needs a bandwidth connection for their voice/data network applications they almost always choose a T1 or T3 connection. What is a T1 and a T3 connection? Why are there better than dsl and cable for business needs?

T1 (1.544 Mbps) and T3 (45 Mbps) connections are traditional business-class digital leased phone lines. The technology is pre-cable and pre-DSL. The main advantage is service: If either one goes down, the phone company will bend over backwards to resolve the issue as soon as possible. Business rely on these lines for their income and a downed line can cost thousands of dollars an hour. They also have time-tested monitoring and diagnostic capabilities to keep them up, so they are more reliable.

A T1 breaks down into 24 channels. Each channel can either be used for a phone line or 64 Kbps of Internet. A business can have 8 phone lines and 1024 Kbps of Internet (16 X 64 Kbps) over a T1 for on average between $300-$500. This is less expensive than paying for 8 phone lines + DSL/cable Internet making it better for them.

A T3 breaks into 672 channels and costs several thousand dollars a month. However, T3 (or DS3) prices have been dropping steadily the last few years and can usually be found for between $3-4,000 in most areas. however, this still makes the cost impractical for smaller businesses in many cases.

Often a business will optimize capability and cost by choosing to install a fractional T1 or T3 rather thsn full. The obvious benefit is reduced cost....and scalability can be built in for those times when surge capability is needed or strategic business growth is planned.

They are also different in that they don't connect directly to the Internet; they connect from one customer to another. So, for example, you could have a private line between two businesses with no Internet security hazards. Many people of course simply connect them to an ISP (whom you then have to pay an additional fee on top of what you pay Ma Bell for the T1 line).

They are symmetrical, unlike most DSL and cable lines; you get the same speed in both directions. Also important for businesses, especially those exchanging data between offices.

Like DSL lines, and unlike cable lines (which are shared), they are dedicated to one customer. Cable service is often unavailable to businesses, so that's another difference.

Not surprisingly, both can be expensive for a small business, T3's absurdly so. Cost mostly depends on distance. This boils down to two simple components; local loop (the cost the local incumbent charges to transport the signal from the end user's central office, otherwise known as a CO, to the point of presence, otherwise known as a POP, of the carrier) and the port (the cost to access the telephone network or the Internet through the carrier's network). Typically, the port price is based upon access speed and yearly commitment level while the loop is based on geography. The further the CO and POP, the more the loop cost.

Unless you are running a business that cannot afford to go down for half a day, you are better off with cable or DSL service. Otherwise....for reliability, scalability, performance, and capacity you'd best evaluate your options for T1 or T3 bandwidth application.
