Same here, you just saved my iPod, it took a big fall and one of the battery welds came loose, thanks to your amazing explanation I was able to fix it, muito obrigado and best regards from Portugal

Great video made replacing battery easier than I thought those screws are sooo small

I do need to thank you, I’ve just followed your video and your details were spot on and i now have an iPod in full working condition without the battery warning not turning red after a few minutes

My battery cooked the connections. Very well shown. I will have to improvise to save this deadpod

Have an old ipod. Got into repairing gameboys last year and got decent at it. Then also managed to fix my phone from water damage somehow and thinking of just repairing my old ipod from the skills I got

Watching the procedure helps. My bottom button wasn't working so I opened and found out that my battery had swollen to a point that it had buckled the metal plate inside and the outside button couldn't reach the inside board button. Anyway I ordered a new battery and will follow your instructions. Thank you for posting the Video!

Okay, I just finished and charging the battery. I had a little difficulty soldering the new one in. I pulled the tab back up and soldered the backside of the tab, along with the board, then folded the tab back down while holding it down with a tool, then heating up with the soldering iron. It booted up just fine & watched some KZread already! Thanks!

Even if you do it yourself, you may break it even more. I once stuffed up an different device because the screen cracked from the heat gun, and I severed a ribben cable as well. The costs ended up amounting to more than I could get second hand. Companies like Apple, Samsung, and more, are absolutely cunts. Especially Apple.

The thickness of the newer phones are partly due to the size and strength of the battery needed to power the phone.

I bought an ipod touch 6th generation, the guy who sold said it need battery replacement but the thing is in 10 minutes it s battery drains but when I plug it in for 5 minutes it gets full. Do you think it can be an ipod

Some differences on my 5th gen: 1. The home button is on a flex cable stuck to the metal plate, and must be removed before the plate can come off 2. There are no pull tabs, only glue. Although it was relatively easy to get a tool under it for removal. 3. (This is a difference in methods, not device) I just straight up pulled the battery flex off the board. Attempting to desolder the connections got me nowhere, soldering the new battery on top appears to work fine.

May I ask the make and model of your electric screwdriver? Thanks.

Hey I was wondering what would happen if I just use a battery with a larger capacity than this 1000 mAh one in my ipod 6? Would it make it last longer?

Had to buy more button replacements due to screwing it up so much. Never again.

I mean yeah i did this on my ipod touch it's a 6th gen and I kinda knew the battery was bad because well it died real fast and also when charging it would jump to like 70 percent from like 20 percent now it charges somewhat normally for me now still a little fast to me me but not like before not in the slightest and it lasts waaay longer than what it did but it's a 1000 mha battery it was kinda tired to start with because they want it like paper thin so battery suffers. It still gives me a lot of use for music when I'm in my car works great. But thing is what some say which is confusing is that they say it can be the actual battery or something else on the iPod that just like died and saps away the battery and well you got like a 50/50 shot on which it could be which sucks I've heard that (tronixs fix and dankpods on a colab) the battery has been changed but still drains heaps quick but you still gotta do it to find that out

I have replaced batteries on 3 different ipods that I own. Every time, the new battery gives me fluctuating charge readings and seems to drain rapidly even when the ipod is not used or is turned off. The fully charged battery will be dead in 24 hours. The 3 batteries I bought were from different battery manufactuers and different sellers. Am I that unlucky that all the batteries were bad?

I read that the unit may retain the memory of the bad battery. So the advice I read was to drain the battery completely and then recharge. The person said they did this twice and then saw an improvement in the battery performance. It's worth a try.

Hello

I called apple to ask for a replacement battery installation. They told me i could buy a new I phone and they would wave the disposal fee on the old ipod. I said never mind. Then they told me i would have to pay $65 disposal fee for the broken one and I said I'd rather throw it in a river😂. They said that's illegal and they know who I am because of my apple id and would notify the epa police. They said all interactions are recorded and they have evidence I said I'll throw it in a river. What am I supposed to do. I don't have $65 😢
