About this part
Overview
Replacement housing or trim part for iPod Video 5G. Use it to restore fit, finish, color or visible damage rather than to fix an internal electronics fault. A front that lifts at the seam is usually not the faceplate: on this model an open seam is often bent metal tabs inside the back panel, and sometimes a swollen battery (look for pressure marks on the screen).

Install and repair
Step-by-step guide
iPod Video 5th Gen front panel replacement
Tools: Plastic opening tools (two or three), Thin plastic picks, Angled tweezers or a small plastic tool, Phillips #00 screwdriver, Small dish for screws, Anti-static wrist strap or mat, Soft cloth
- Open the caseUnplug any cable, then switch the iPod off and slide Hold to locked. Free the clips with plastic tools: both long sides, then the top (shallow beside the Hold switch, where the screen sits close), then the bottom. Raise the back only about an inch, since two ribbons still join the halves. Our guide to opening the iPod Video covers this in detail.
- Unplug the batteryFind the battery's orange ribbon where it plugs into the logic board toward the bottom end. Raise its small brown latch straight up by 1 to 2 mm, evenly at both ends, and slide the ribbon out.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right black faceplate?
Use this listing for a stock-match black front panel on black or U2 A1136 iPod Video models. White A1136 models share the physical fit, but this black faceplate is a custom color swap on those units.
Does this include the center button?
No. The center button cap is a separate part. Transfer the existing center button from the old faceplate, or order the cap separately — black, white or a custom color.
Is this an iPod Classic?
Apple's 'Classic' branding started with the 6th Generation (2007). This is the iPod 5th Generation (Video) / iPod with Video family, model A1136. Apple's official name for this model is iPod (Video) / iPod with Video.
Does this fit U2 Special Edition iPods?
Yes for A1136 U2 iPod Video models. The U2 faceplate is black; the red part is the click wheel, which is sold separately.
