Great video, you move fast & clean. Q. I have an iPod 2nd Generation that has the same type of contacts for the battery cable to main board. You mentioned not pulling out the solder pads on the board ... can you explain in a video maybe how to stick a solder pad back in, or worse case ... use solder in place of the solder pad. I'm assuming you would put flux on the board?
Q. Also on a budget, looking at a Weller, what are the must have tip sizes for i* devices? 2mm, 0.2mm? Solder type?
@lapd1989 well you could cause a short plus it is always advisable to disconnect power before soldering., if you do not want to remove the battery just run the power out of the battery
@brainslay3r there are plenty of ways to do it, you sound like you know what you are doing but there are a lot that are not as fortunate with the knowledge, I use the same method too but like you I have the knowledge!
Your Darth Vader impersonation would be priceless.

pfft, way to break the cable. You use a large glob of solder, heat that up over all of the pins and then gently lift away the headphone jack.

so do you need two different types of guns one desolder and one solder? and what kind can you use? i dont want to buy a overly expensive one

@ibelievein30STM No, you can use desolder wick/braid or a desolder pump to remove the bulk of the solder.
As for the solder iron, as long as the tip is large enough and clean you should get a reasonable result.
