I have a 5.5g iMod. It is currently basically dead. It will power up if I hold the click wheel button down, but as soon as I let it go, the screen fuzes out. When powered it gives battery error warnings. I have written to Vinnie about it, he thought it might be the motherboard, he also suggested it's best to send it to him even if it's only the battery. I generally go with what Vinnie suggests, but sending it back to him from Sydney is a very expensive exercise.
 
So I was wondering whether anyone had any thoughts on whether that issue sounds like a battery failure?
If it is, I'm wondering whether a good local ipod repairer could replace the battery with a head-up about the mods?
