im not nervous about doing this or anything, and i know how to solder...all i ask is how do you know when the battery is lined up with the solder connection on the mother board?

[RepairsUniverse]

@jay666rob Its best to have a reference (such as this video) to be sure you have it lined up properly. After the old battery is removed, it becomes quite obvious where the connection needs to sit. Once it is lined, just tack it down with a small amount of solder.

@RepairsUniverse okey, thanks for the help :)

[RepairsUniverse]

@jay666rob No problem.

@lucien0002 Ah I see. Sorry to hear. Motherboard damage usually makes the device considered "totaled".

Many of these types of repairs are quite simple, put patients is also a necessity when conducting a repair such as this.

@RepairsUniverse OK, sorry. I put back the original battery and it did not charge either. I understand why: I broke the middle connection on the motherboard when I pulled it the first time... I guess I'm not good for that kind of job.

@lucien0002 Sounds like a connection issue, likely caused by the solder. I would suggest attempting to resolder it, or if you are not comfortable, take it to a repair shop and just have them resolder the connection. I can't imagine somewhere local will charge you much for that.

I destroyed the plastic frame glued on the digitizer glass (with the help of the safe pry tools).

The original battery was glued on the metal plate connected to the screen, unlike the one on the video.

Now, after 15 minutes of USB charge, I still have the "empty battery" screen on the ipod. When I remove the USB cable, the ipod is still powered. So, the battery is connected.

Is it a problem with my awful soldering?
