The solder in the video looks like a clear liquid, I’m I missing something. I’m used to solder that looks like wire? Is there something new that is easier to use?
Thanks for putting this up, I’m trying to decide if I can do the soldering and I just want to make sure I know what I’m getting myself into.
Sorry for the confusion. That clear liquid is actually flux. The solder has been put on the iron tip prior to soldering the pads. Not much solder is needed but the flux is necessary to help the flow and bonding of the solder.
What kind of wick do you use?
Goot wick. Model: CP - 2015 Width: 2 mm
Could I use an IOpener tool to open the ipod?
Yes you can use any opener that you prefer.
Yes, you can use an iOpener.

John - VERY nice and helpful video. I wish I’d had the iSesamo opening tool that you used. I got it open but dinged the case a bit with the larger tools that were in my iFixit tool kit.
It also took longer than I’d hoped but I was successful at it. Also, where can one purchase the double-sided adhesive to keep the new battery down?
I’m very pleased with the result of the battery replacement and once again, your video was terrific. I had it on a 27” Cinema display right on the table where I did the work.
Thanks,

Hi, I am wondering if you lose all of your data and settings when you disconnect the old battery. Thank you for the great video and thank you for your time regarding my question. Jay Scott
If data is important then It is always best to back up the data prior to any repair attempt (if possible). Having said that, I have not yet experienced data loss from replacing the battery on any device. This does not mean it is impossible, for example; if the device is damaged during the repair attempt in such a way you cannot gain access to the data that would be a problem. Hope this helps. cheers
thank you you are a good teacher
What temperature do you set on the heat gun to detach the home button safely?
If your using a heat gun set it on low and keep it moving. Not much heat is needed or you could burn the display.
I actually used my rework station at minimum temp (100°C) and it was OK. The hardest part was to de-solder the battery!!
Video is not playing from YT (YT issue? probably). Other than the iPod 5th Gen teardown, looking for other pictorial guides that can be used.
Looks like a bit more detail is needed. At least for my iPod touch I appear to need a Phillips #000 screwdriver as outlined in this tutorial: iPod Touch 5th Generation LCD Shield Plate Replacement
Also looks like this needs to be a fairly high quality screwdriver as I have a “cheapo” here and it isn’t fine enough to get into the screw head.
Does the board have 2 dots on the solder pads like the battery cable? I'm seeing the 2 dots on each pad as if the old battery pads are still there. Do I just clean up and solder over or try to remove them? Several attempts to remove the “2 hole pads" and they dont want to come off. Thank you.
