Has anyone done this, and if so it is pretty straight-forward?

It can be a bit hard getting the case off (this was on an old 40 gb). It MAY come with 2 plastic things, to remove the case. The battery was from Apple. But it was hopeless. It was worse than the battery I replaced lol. In the end I chucked the whole thing out. Speedy Gonzales (78)

When you add up the excess and possible loss of no claims effect you may as well buy a new one though. Unless you add some more items to the washing pile to make it worth it ... lcd monitor, modem, few phones etc etc - just say they looked dirty and needed a clean!
