    Fantastic. I have 2 iPods (5 & 6) that haven’t turned on since 2016 and 2018, respectively.
    I tried replacing the battery in the 6 first, but I wasn’t careful and damaged the solder pads. This was my first time soldering and working on mobile device hardware, but I figured it was worth a try since the devices were dead anyways.
    I used this video for the 5, and it worked! Luckily I had a semi charged battery so I realized that that charging port was damaged. After cleaning it with a toothpick, some alcohol, and bending the charging cable I was able to fully charge it. I already created a backup on iCloud just in case the device fails again and I backed up all data.
    Lesson learned: Be careful and take your time.
    Thank you for this video! Next up, my HTC One M7 and A9

    Thanks for the video! My 5th gen is running like a champ again. One thing different about mine vs yours was the pink plastic framing inside yours. Mine is black, and it covered all the screws. I had to remove that frame to get access to them. That was an additional step of prying six (I think) more clips away from the edge of the case.

  • @warvetbill3450
    @warvetbill3450 4 роки тому +2

    I liked your video...Just wanted to mention, there is a slight but unfortunately significant difference in the procedure between the 5th generation and the 6th. The most important first step I would mention is to verify the version of ipod that you have by checking the number on the back. You did this in your video casually, but I would reinforce this as a primary step. I purchased my ipod from a person who said it was a "5th generation ipod touch" well... it was actually a 6th generation and I found out too late unfortunately. I watched your wonderful video and purchased all the tools (heat gun, adhesive, soldering iron, solder, flux, tape, opening tool, etc.) and battery...then watched the video again 6 times to make sure I was comfortable with the procedure. I heated up the home button and gently attempted to lift the home button..but it popped off! It turns out the home button on the 6th generation looks almost identical except that you do not need to lift it up before removing the shield. If you attempt to do this (as I tried to) you will damage the home button to the point that you might as well drop your ipod touch into the trash. The home button on the 6th generation has micro-soldering connections hidden underneath and it's connected to the entire system components and a MAJOR repair. I wound up popping the home button off and completely ruining my ipod touch 6th generation thinking it was a 5th because that's what the person who sold it to me told me. Please recommend to others to "Check your version!" Dang. It's my bad but I REALLY wish that you had said something like, "First thing, check your version! There are some slight differences between the versions that can turn a success into a failure QUICK. Check your number and verify what version of ipod touch you actually have. Some poor pant-load didn't check and ruined his gear. You might think you know what version you have...but FIRST check!" Now if someone will just hold my hand.

    My 5th Gen iPOD is over 5 years old. It charges to capacity in about 10 minutes and discharges in about 3 hours of streaming, (Pandora) use. I have a new Hakko station and silicon mat so I’m gonna give this a go. I’ve been doing iPhone batteries and screens but this will be my 1st iPOD. Appears straightforward. I have the tools, the desire and now this video to get it done! Many thanks and I’ll let ya know how it went.

  • @n.gineer8102
    @n.gineer8102 3 роки тому

    Very helpful. Mine was easier because the glass was off/lifted when the battery went fat. WAY easier than I thought it would be. My iPod button didn't need lifting so seems the cover plate design changed, but getting the silver off the connector is tedious. Once clean It didn't need any cleaning maybe wipe with alcohol to remove stickiness. The worst part is reassembling those tiny screws. My advice is if are older to get a really good sharp magnetic screwdriver. The ones that came with the battery were useless. I appreciate the effort to record these, I cant do that, I always get into it and forget to record what I am doing.Thanks again!

    Thanks for the video, definitively worth it, $10 the battery and $15 flux is a bargain to change my inflated battery on this iPod touch. Now, why on earth did they soldered that bloody battery? If you have a rework station, no need for a heat gun to heat up the home button, use the rework station at 100°C to soften the glue.

      @@alexanderstevenson6484 I wish I could give you a concrete answer, but all I can do is theorize. Has it ever been exposed to liquid? I believe mine has liquid damage, tho I haven't been able to get all the way into it to check. It could also be the battery needs replaced, or even just a corrupted operating system, which would likely require a factory reset/reinstall of the most current operating system it supports. Note that if you have any important data on the device you should back it up before resetting/reinstalling the OS, both locally on your own computer and on iCloud if you can do both, but just one should be good enough if you have the necessary storage space on either. I have yet to actually figure out what the problem is with mine, so I may not even have these problems in the first place, just my theories on what could be causing them.

    Wow, good video. I had already ordered batteries for my two gen 5 ipod touches or I might have avoided trying to do this. I just finished my first battery replacement. I am not that good at soldering and I just have a cheat little iron, some flux & solder for electrical stuff. I just followed directions but mine did not go as well. Getting the thing apart was not easy and the edges got beat up a bit and I tore the plastic piece that goes around the edge a couple of times but was able to get it back together regardless. The black piece that goes over the solder area did not come off in one piece like his either but I managed to get it off with my soldering iron and the tweezers while my wife held the ipod in place so it would not keep wondering away from me. I put flux on each of the three solder joints and put the solder directly on the tip of my iron and then put the iron on each solder joint for a couple of seconds to get some solder placed on each. I lined up the new battery solder joints to the ipod and one at a time, held it in place and placed my iron on the joint for about 5 seconds and held the joint steady for 5 seconds without heat so the solder would dry. I tested for a normal boot before putting the whole thing back together and it worked! I had my doubts! If I can do this, you can too so give it a try. I have one more to do and hopefully it will go even better.

    At 8:20, you say "We're gonna put a little fresh solder on each of those pads." Then a tube appears and you appear to be applying flux. Then at 8:44 the soldering iron enters the picture and appears to simply plunge into the flux and make contact with each of the pads. Where exactly is the solder being applied, that you say is going to be applied at 8:20? I'm not seeing a wire of solder in use at any point.

    WARNING! A very good video, but unfortunately, my traded in 5th gen seems to have had some additional anti-tampering measures added by Apple. Instead of having just the bottom rim glued, there turned out to have been a huge dollop on either side of the 'home' button, **on top** of the shield's screws.
    This measure was obviously intentional, & designed to not allow the device to freely open on the top hinge. Wound up shattering the screen during the process, since the 'home' button was essentially glued to the shield.
    Battery replacement worked, so I'm still able to use it as a managed device - just can't do anything w/ the screen or home buttons.
    (PS mine wasn't an abnormality - I found another video at ua-cam.com/video/nAIitSWOzBg/v-deo.html which shows the guy having to use multiple guitar picks as shims while constantly using a heat gun to loosen the glue)

      It needs to be a compatible battery. They could have increased capacity. You should back up the iPod first if possible. Charged or not it doesn't matter just make sure you power off the iPod before performing the replacement.

    • @ArtemShevtsov
      @ArtemShevtsov 2 роки тому

      Thank you John, just as you said it happened to be the case of faulty battery. The one I ordered online from Chinese retailer Ali express did not hold any power. I finally got around finding the exact same brand Cameron Sino, this time around I measured it with voltmeter before installing - it showed 3,97 V - which is already good sign. I replaced my replacement and repeated the whole process. Although it still went into boot loop on my initial check prior to assembly, the IPod FINALLY came back to life when I closed it permanently and powered it with the battery alone.
      Thanks again for your tutorial!

    At 4:40, you refer to "low-melt alloy . . . or leaded solder." Looking at one popular electronics retailer with dozens of solder types, I can't find any product called "low-melt alloy" and searching for "leaded solder" brings up mainly "lead-free" options. I do see something called "low-temperature solder paste" as well as various solders that list lead in the 30-60 percent range. Do you have some specific product names you'd recommend for this "lower melting point" procedure? I'm assuming, based on your answer to my earlier question, that you are putting this special solder on the tip of the iron off-camera and touching it to the factory-applied solder to melt it. Sorry--this is confusing to those of us who basically know only basic soldering procedure.
