Insert the nylon case opening tool into the corner of the iPod casing in the seam between the silver portion and the front. Apply pressure, as if you were stabbing a potato. You may find this step easier if you use two guitar picks at two different spots. The corner is typically the easiest place to penetrate the seam.
Move the tool or guitar pick along the seam to loosen the clips attaching the two parts of the iPod Touch case. Once you have gone all the way around the case, the case should come apart.
Carefully peel back all the black electrical tape on the parts. Do not remove it completely; rather, peel it back until you've exposed all the screws in the iPod.
Repairing your defective iPod Touch in case of a broken digitizer (touch screen), headphone jack, connector dock or battery is far more cost-effective than purchasing a brand new part. If your warranty is expired and your device is non-operational, it is worth the time and effort to attempt to repair it yourself. Whichever part needs servicing, you will need to disassemble the iPod Touch completely. These steps will provide a guideline for doing so.
