Battery Replacment

Mijn probleem

iPod would not turn on, even with power attached. I made an uneducated guess that the battery could be bad.

Mijn oplossing

Overall it went well. I had a little difficulty, but it appears to be fixed, as it will now boot up with power attached. Hopefully the battery will charge and everything will be fine.

Mijn advies

Instructions are not clear and include unnecessary steps. Opening the case was fine. Past that I had to use a combination of what was in the instructions and my own intuition. I think step 6 is very unclear. I actually had the connector come off the board as it was not clear to me that the brown piece did not need to come out, but only needed to be "unsnapped" to free the cable. I felt like steps 8,9 & 10 were completely unneeded and I did not do those steps. Once I figured out how to get the white connected back on the board and figured out how the brown and white pieces work to hold in the ribbon cable I was good. There should be a step 12 & 13 showing how to reconnect the battery to the connector and how to close the case.
