If this is a new iPod, then take it back to the retailer. Your battery is no good. If it is used, there probably is not any kind of warranty. However if you want to replace the battery it is really easy. I have a web page that you can purchase a battery replacement kit as well as full detailed instructions. There is a video on the second web site listed. However i do suggest following the written instructions as leaving everything else connected can make it a hassle. :) If you have any other questions about this or difficulties with the resolution please do let me know.

Top Case Removal Begin by using a flat tool to separate the white plastic front case from the silver backcase. You will need to stick your flat tool into the crevice, work it down into the crevice,and then pry up so that the casing separates. Apply enough pressure so that your flat tooldoes not slip and scratch your iPod!Continue separating the casing by gently prying up all the way around the unit. It shouldbe much easier to pry the casing apart after you get the initial corner started.

With the casing separated, grasp the top half (the part with the front bezel) and flip it over. Note that there is an orange cable in the top left corner that connects the iPodlogic board to the headphone ports. If you gently grasp the cable and pull, it will slide out of its connector on the headphone port module board.

This will reveal the hard drive cable’s connector to the logic board.To remove the hard drive, grasp the cable (thumb on top index finger onbottom) and gently pull the cable out (away from you and the connector)The hard drive will now be free of the iPod logic board.
