  1. Sostituzione Batteria iPod Touch 4a Generazione, Pannello anteriore: passo 1, immagine 1 di 1
    • Il pannello anteriore dell'iPod Touch di 4a generazione è incollato alla copertura posteriore. L'utilizzo di una pistola termica per ammorbidire l'adesivo è fortemente raccomandato.

    • Con la pistola termica impostata su "basso", inizia a scaldare il bordo inferiore del vetro vicino al tasto Home.

    • Ti consigliamo di scaldare la zona desiderata con un movimento circolare per distribuire il calore equamente sul dispositivo.

    do I have to use a heat gun

    Fabiola Winfield - Replica

    yes it is crucial

    ben folks -

    but u can use a hair dryer on warm

    ben folks -

    I didn't use a heat gun but this was due to the glass being rather shattered and not just cracked in the corner. The rule of thumb might be to not use excessive force, if you see that you need to use the heat gun or a blow dryer as someone suggested. I also wanted to point out the the adhesive strip just around the edges was exposed and it is rather strong so I was able to pull it around part of the edge which actually helped the glass disengage.

    Hi, thanks to this tutorial achieves replace my iPod battery to 100%, it was difficult, so thanks iFixit!

    The only problem I had was with the iFixit screwdriver disappointed me greatly, as it can not remove the screws with the screwdriver.

    A tip for those who first make repairs before starting the disarmament carefully read through the tutorial to not make a mistake that could damage your iPod and do not forget to place pieces in a safe place so they are not lost.

    Greetings from Guatemala

    Be careful with the heat gun!! Don`t use it too much. You can melt something inside, specially when you`re closing the iPod.

    Luiz R - Replica

    No man you can use a blow dryer!

    Colton B - Replica

    Would a heat bead bag be safer option to weaken the adhesive?

    Angus McLauchlan - Replica

    I had success with as low as 80°C using a hair dryer to melt the adhesive, I kept track of it with a meat thermometer. The battery says it's rated only up to 60°C...

    A hairdryer perfectly does the job. I’d recommend heating the bottom for 20 seconds, then attempt at inserting a plastic pick between the glass and the chassis. If it doesn’t work, reapply some heat in 10 seconds intervals until the glue gives in. You shouldn’t have to exert lots of force to release the adhesive, heat should do the job.

    Then apply some heat to the top of the screen to release the remaining adhesive. Opening is straightforward. Just beware of the ultra little slack of the short yet fragile flexible digitizer cable.

    • Ricordati che il vetro sarà molto caldo. Può essere utile tenerlo con un panno mentre fai leva.

    • Infila il bordo di uno strumento di apertura per iPod tra il pannello di vetro anteriore e la cornice in plastica vicino al tasto Home.

    • Non cercare di far leva tra la cornice in plastica e la copertura posteriore in acciaio.

    • Solleva il bordo inferiore del pannello frontale, stando attento a non piegare troppo il vetro.

    • Se è troppo difficile sollevare il gruppo del pannello anteriore, scaldalo di nuovo e riprova.

    There should be (in general) better notes about the reassembly process. Getting the thing glued back in is WAY harder than just "reverse this step." Getting it to sit flush with any kind of adhesion is pretty difficult. No real advice other than make sure the edges of the metal thing at the top of the back of the digitizer are in the right slots and use judiciously placed pieces of 3M 300LSE adhesive.

    jonathan - Replica

    I actually just figured it out. I had the ribbon cable for the digitizer running under the LCD and that wasn't allowing the LCD to sit down far enough. By re-folding the digitizer cable so it was triple-folded (when you do it you'll see what I mean) and only under the glass where there is no LCD, you'll get the glass to sit right.

    jonathan - Replica

    I'm havin' problems with mine... hum, the front panel broke and i don't know where can i buy a new one. Can you help me?! Detail, the Touch screen still working... the external screen is broken, but the internal is ok...

    Glue is under the black part of the glass, not under the clear part of the glass.

    The Glue is mostly around the top and bottom about 1/2 inch in or so, around both left and right edges the strip of glue is very thin about 1/8 inch or so.

    I had success with heat and sliding the tool or pick up and down the side where there is less glue until it started separating being careful that I was between front glass panel and the black plastic bezel.

    Evon Waters - Replica

    Take a look at the post What parts to move from the broken screen?

    That will give you some advice as to what to move over from the broken screen, metal bracket, home button and small sponge spacer on the tip of the digitizer connector. Also how important it is to use new adhesive. If after assembling the screen bulges on one side (top or bottom) take the time to dissasemble and check that everything is in place (flat) and like jonathan writes, the digitizer cable is folded.

    • Quando c'è abbastanza spazio per afferrare il bordo inferiore del pannello frontale, sollevalo dal corpo dell'iPod Touch per separare l'adesivo sotto i bordi destro e sinistro.

    • Se l'adesivo è difficile da separare, usa una pistola termica per ammorbidirlo prima di procedere.

    • A causa della progettazione dell'iPod Touch di 4a generazione, il cavo del digitizer non può essere scollegato finché non rimuovi la scheda madre. Stai molto attento mentre maneggi il gruppo del pannello anteriore, in quanto è collegato al resto dell'iPod Touch da un cavo a nastro molto delicato.

    • Inoltre, il cavo dello schermo è molto corto ed è collegato alla scheda madre vicino al bordo superiore del gruppo del vetro anteriore. Se non si scollega mentre separi il bordo superiore del gruppo del pannello anteriore, assicurati di scollegarlo con uno strumento di apertura per iPod prima di ruotare il gruppo fuori dall'iPod Touch.

    • Separa attentamente il bordo superiore del gruppo del pannello anteriore dall'adesivo che tiene fermo nell'iPod Touch. stando prestando attenzione al corto cavo del digitizer che collega le due componenti.

    The LCD cable which attaches to the logic board, is, indeed, very short. When reassembling the iPod, you may only be able to leave a small crack between the glass and the body to allow for enough space to reattach this cable. A plastic opening tool works well, but be warned: it takes quite a bit of patience.

    reidbauer - Replica

    Indeed the LCD cable which attaches to the logic board is short and I spent a good 30 minutes trying to get it to seat. When I finally did I realized I broke the right side and that is why my display is not working now. When they say difficult, they mean difficult - I have experience with electronics and I recommend you first practice on an older unit if you can.

    kitlammers - Replica

    Most guides recommend simply cutting the digitizer cable once you have disconnected the data cable. This makes things much simpler for subsequent steps rather than having the front panel dangling there.

    bowlingb - Replica

    Before i do this repair, does my screen have to be all together. Because my iPod got cracked a while ago, so do i have to buy a new screen so i can put the jack in? Also what goes first in the process when doing both of those things ?

    Diondre Jordan - Replica

    Reconnecting the data cable is actually pretty easy. Just hold your screen at a 90 degree angle and put it on your underlying surface (and not on the back part of your ipod). Then just use the opening tool to reconnect the cable. The cable is long enough. If you connected it properly try pushing the home button on the back part (not the actual button). If done properly, your screen should light up. (if not try again to connect the cable) Then just fold the screen onto the back part without lifting it. The cable disconnects very easily.

    Maybe if you could show an image pointing out the the digitizer and display cable. I missed the part that the display cable pops off, and didn't get to it until almost the end.

    • Svita le seguenti otto viti a croce Phillips #00:

    • Una vite a croce Phillips da 3,5 mm

    • Due viti a croce Phillips da 3,0 mm

    • Una vite a croce Phillips da 2,3 mm

    • Una vite a croce Phillips da 2,4 mm

    • Tre viti a croce Phillips da 2,0 mm

    The antenna cable will almost always stick to the digitzer and often the glass is broken there. You can use a knife to pick out broken glass around the edges elsewhere but use ONLY PLASTIC tool to separate the antenna cable from the old digitzer. This cable is very thin and a metal tool can easily cut the cable which you cannot then repair but must buy a replacement.

    If you are removing broken glass be sure to recover the steel plate glued to the top of glass as well as the home button at the bottom of the assembly.

    Mark - Replica

    This steel plate or bracket has been discussed many times here. My best experience is to NOT move it to a new screen. Without the bracket and using enough adhesive in fact brings the new screen closer to the chassis and a snugger fit. Read more here: What parts to move from the broken screen?

    Notice, in the image the switch for the home button has a tiny sub-1mm dot in the center of it. When I reassembled the home button did not work. That tiny cylinder of material had been knocked off the switch. A rounded probe could still activate the switch, but the flat metal plate on the home button could not. Fortunately, I was working on a white cloth, and a careful search turned up the tiny cylinder. I was able to reattach it and repair the home button.

    ciradrak - Replica

    I would like to add that the tiny cylinder is 0.65mm in diameter and 0.20mm high. I was able to successfully reattach it using a thick cyanoacrylate. You must be careful not to foul the switch's membrane with too much glue. I would suggest using fine point tweezers and a metal probe to apply the tiny dot of glue. You need a steady hand for this.

    • Usa l'estremità di uno strumento di apertura per iPod per sollevare la sottile copertura in acciaio dalla fotocamera posteriore.

    • Sai attento alla piccola molla vicino al bordo, accanto alla fotocamera (evidenziata in giallo).

    • Rimuovi la copertura in acciaio dall'iPod.

    Be sure to get the tool down deep when removing the rear camera. If not, you can accidentally snag the mid-section of the camera and it will come apart -- and you'll end up buying a replacement.

    Country Computer Service - Replica

    I have snagged that part of the camera several times. Easy to fix with super-glue along the edges of the cover. Works great. Sometimes no matter how carefully you pry up it falls apart.

    asle -

    This metal plate fits under plastic near RHS edge, and other side drops between the camera and a circuit board - to refit, you may need to loosen a nearby screw to allow you to move the circuit board a little to let this metal plate clip onto the side of the camera.

    I had to press down hard with a plastic tool to get this metal plate to clip on.

    Don't forget to re-tighten it later (I forgot).

    phil colbourn - Replica

    A strip metallic cover, glued to display isn't mentioned in this guide.

    Note that most new front panels are going without this part and you would need to remount it.

    Daniel Filatov - Replica

    what exactly is the copper tape for that sits over the backplate that covers the rear camera? it gives me trouble every time.

    yhwhelrey0 - Replica

    The copper is important for heat dispensing. It has nothing to do with grounding or signal. In worst case if it is torn the Touch could get hotter but should work. If it is torn I usually just lift up one part and move it so it is in contact with the other copper part.

    asle -

    I just replaced the screen and rear cam on my 4th gen. The camera does not work??? Any ideas????????

    mark - Replica

    Maybe the rear camera connection got loose when you lifted up the logic board in top to replace the digitizer. I would open it again and check the connection to the rear camera. Hope you fix it!

    • Infila l'estremità di uno strumento di apertura sotto la piastra intermedia in acciaio vicino all'angolo in basso a sinistra dell'iPod Touch.

    • Fai leva lentamente per separare la piastra dall'adesivo che la fissa alla copertura interna in plastica.

    • Se la piastra è ancora attaccata alla scheda madre, riscalda la zona per ammorbidire l'adesivo, quindi separala lentamente dalla scheda usando uno strumento di apertura.

    • C'è un cavo a nastro sottile e delicato sotto la piastra. Mentre la separi, stai molto attento a non strapparlo.

    • Questo cavo potrebbe restare incollato alla piastra e lo potresti strappare molto facilmente se non stai attento. Lavora lentamente e stai attento a non tirare il cavo.

    I couldn't get a spudger in-between this space, so I went to the side where the three screws were on the left hand side and worked my way towards the bottom to separate the glue...

    Kevin Hulett - Replica

    The power and volume wire on the logic board were covered with adhesive. Be careful! While trying to remove the steel mid plane I found that the adhesive will rip the ribbon!

    Chris Boenitz - Replica

    Here is where you take it easy. Two things can be broken here.

    -Use time to carefully separate the bottom left part of the midplane. It sticks to the speaker which you tear the speaker leads if you are to hasty to lift it up. And remember the mid plane must not be bended up here since it needs to be 100% aligned so the new digitizer does not bulge here when in place.

    - The second picture. The black visible adhesive sticks to the volume cable. Use time to carefully separate the mid plane here so the cable is not ripped when you lift up the midplane. Pry a plastic tool like the picture or/and a spudger slowly in until you see/feel the midplane loosening. A broken volume cable is no fun.

    asle - Replica

    as stated before, be very careful with the part at the speaker.

    the speaker actually sticks to the mid plane and i accidentally lifted it with the plane and separated one cable from the board!

    stan - Replica

    That small ribbon cable ripped, be sure to really watch this - look at the second picture in this step and try to make sure you understand where it is on the board under it.

    kitlammers - Replica

    This was difficult during both disassembly and reassembly. I used a thin guitar pick to separate the ribbon cable by the volume buttons from the steel midplane. Reassembly was tough because I didn't have the ipod dock connector seated correctly, AND more importantly, the speaker has a part that needs to be inserted into a black part on TOP of the dock connector-- it looks almost like a tiny air duct that has a foam gasket around it.

    Nik - Replica

    I was able to replace the home button ribbon cable without having to fully remove the steel mid plane. It lifted up enough from the iPod's body that I was able to slip the ribbon in around the support it sticks to and hold it in place until the adhesive set.

    Much simpler, and didn't cause any problems -- the mid plane didn't deform, and snapped right back into place.

    Thanks for the guide.

    jon - Replica

    Unfortunately there was so much glue on the tiny power/volume button ribbon cable that any attempt at removing the steel cover plate would eventually rip that cable at the 4 solder joints. A picture of that cable would help tearing down more securely.

    Is there a way to repair the torn ribbon cable or should I consider my iPod as dead now?

    • Inclina leggermente la piastra intermedia in acciaio per sganciarla dalla copertura posteriore.

    • Stai attento a non strappare il pezzo di nastro in rame che collega la fotocamera posteriore alla piastra in acciaio intermedia.

    • Solleva la piastra dalla copertura posteriore e rimuovi il pezzo di nastro di rame incollato sulla fotocamera posteriore.

    I was able to stop at step 8 for the battery replacement.

    Once you remove the metal shield, desolder the 3 leads. Then use your heat gun to warm the battery. Use plastic pry tool between copper backing and battery and separate them (two adhesive strips on the sides of the battery). Once done with this, you can snake the battery ribbon cable from between the logic board and aluminum casing. Not as easily, but still very doable, snake the new battery ribbon back through the same slot; solder 3 points and reassemble. Much easier than removing the entire board. Good luck!

    Oh also, not mentioned in this guide - there is a plastic/silicon substance covering the 3 leads. Prior to desoldering remove this as much as possible with metal or plastic spudger (if metal, be sure not to bridge the connections).

    I stopped dismantling here as well and was able to replace the battery and everything works on the ipod. tricky parts for me were the copper adhesive on the rear camera and getting the data display cable reconnected

    I used plenty of heat first heating the ipod in an industrial oven to about 150 F and then as needed heating a heat gun.

    dhawke -

    what do you do if you break the copper connector to the camera?

    justinallison1 - Replica

    The copper tape is mainly for heat dispersion. Without the copper tape it should work anyway but I would just lift up and move one part of the tape so that it is in contact with the other part when you put it together.

    asle -

    justinallison1, From what I understand, it is ok if that copper tape rips. In fact, I have seen people remove it completely. If it rips, just try and have the 2 pieces touching. (This is what I have researched and done myself with no negative results.

    Katie Kousoulos - Replica

    after removed the steel mid plate, does anybody measure the battery voltage? I measured the battery voltage is only 0.3V. is it normal? I de-soldered the battery three points and measured the battery voltage 3.8V. So It looks like battery is OK. The logic board has problem. So I connected external power source 3.7V and maximum current 50mA to the battery B+ and B-. I found the power source dropped to only 1.65V and 50mA. Could I say logic board has problem?

    William - Replica

    i break the copper connector to the camera then i do, does home button work?

    The copper tape is really not a connector. It is a heat shield that spreads heat. Just try to attach it so it overlaps. It does not affect any connection.

    • Usa uno strumento di apertura per iPod per scollegare il connettore della presa jack dalla sua presa sulla scheda madre.

    I was able to ply the battery out slowly, without removing the logic board because the battery was so swollen. Just started by prying it out using the side of the case, not the logic board, and it peeled out slowly. As mentioned further down in the instructions, the copper flashing had to be pushed back into shape. The battery unsoldered easily, lifting as described. Just slip the flexible conductor from the battery out from under the logic board.

    It powers up without a battery if you need to get data off the iPod.

    • Non piegare troppo la scheda logica, in quanto è molto sottile e delicata.

    • Stai molto attento a non sollevarla troppo, in quanto il cavo a nastro dei tasti del volume è ancora collegato e si strappa molto facilmente.

    • Mentre tieni delicatamente sollevata la scheda logica con una mano, usa uno strumento di apertura per iPod per sollevarla vicino al nastro di rame sul bordo superiore della scheda.

    • La scheda logica si solleverà adeguatamente quando l'ultimo connettore del gruppo dello schermo avrà superato il bordo superiore della copertura posteriore.

    Use extreme caution when lifting the board. There are 2 ribbon cables that are extremely fragile, 1 connecting the rear facing camera and another connects the volume controller flex on the logic board.

    Evon Waters - Replica

    Adding to Evon's comment:

    BEFORE YOU LIFT UP THAT BOARD...

    Use your plastic pry tool and make sure the flex cable, between the board and power button is not on top of the board. Take your time because even the slightest snag can tear that flex cable which leads to de-soldering/soldering the battery & flex cable.

    Once the board is lifted the first time I usually put a piece of Kapton tape over that area of the cable in case it has to be pulled up again.

    Can you explain this in a little more detail?

    I have done a dozen or more iPod screens without any issue. I have one here now that does nothing. Just a black screen. It won't even take a charge.

    • Poiché il connettore di carica è attaccato alla scheda madre, spingerlo fuori dalla copertura potrebbe cominciare a far flettere la scheda. Stai molto attento a non deformare permanentemente la scheda madre.

    This was the hardest step for me. I ended up snapping the mother board at the corner because the adhesive just suddenly released. I wish there were a few more pictures and pointers on how to remove the charging port. Does anyone know a good place to get a cheap 32 GB mother board??

    Existe cola embaixo do conector, por isso, a dificuldade em retirá-lo. Eu aconselho, um pequeno aquecimento com a pistola de calor, na parte traseira da carcaça, antes de tentar a remoção do conector.

    mpcellmendes - Replica

    For Step 17, just slip a length of waxed dental floss under the top left and right corners of the battery, slowly slide down the back of the battery with a sawing motion. All the adhesive will be seperated w/out any risk of bending the board or puncturing the battery. Charging port will now be easily removed.

    • Dopo aver separare tutto l'adesivo sotto il gruppo della scheda madre/batteria, sollevalo dal lato e ruotalo attentamente a faccia in giù per accedere alla parte inferiore della batteria.

    • La scheda madre è ancora attaccata alla copertura posteriore. Non cercare di separare del tutto il gruppo, o strapperai questo cavo a nastro.

    At this step there should be indicated much clearer in BOLD YELLOW RED what ever to turn the logic board instead of removing, since it VERY easily will break the ribbon.

    • Prendi la schermatura in rame sotto la batteria con una mano mentre tieni saldamente la batteria con l'altra.

    • Rimuovi attentamente la schermatura in rame dalla batteria.

    • Non rimuovere la schermatura in rame velocemente. Farlo potrebbe danneggiare irreparabilmente la batteria.

    • Mentre installi una nuova batteria, la schermatura in rame dovrà essere più piatta possibile. Altrimenti la schermatura arruffata aumenterà lo spessore di batteria e schermo.

    • Se necessario, usa uno strumento di apertura in plastica per rimuovere il pezzo di nastro kapton giallo vicino al bordo inferiore della batteria.

    • A questo punto la batteria dovrebbe essere collegata alla scheda madre da un solo cavo.

    • Ruota la batteria verso l'alto e lontano dalla scheda madre.

    • Gira il gruppo a faccia in giù per accedere alle saldature della batteria.

  23. Sostituzione Batteria iPod Touch 4a Generazione: passo 23, immagine 1 di 1
    • Nei prossimi passaggi, dovrai dissaldare i tre contatti della batteria sulla scheda madre.

    • Prima di dissaldare i 3 contatti, ci potrebbe essere del silicone o della colla che li copre. Rimuovine il più possibile con uno spudger in plastica o metallo (se in metallo, stai molto attento a non far fare corto circuito tra i contatti) prima di appoggiare il saldatore ai contatti.

    • La batteria sull'iPod Touch di 4a generazione è attaccata con delle saldature che attraverso dei piccoli fori nel cavo a nastro della batteria si attaccano ai contatti sulla scheda madre. In questo passaggio, dovrai scaldare singolarmente ogni saldatura mentre usi uno spudger in metallo per sollevarla dalla scheda madre.

    • NON far fare corto circuito tra due contatti con lo spudger né sulla scheda, né sul cavo. I corto circuiti potrebbero danneggiare la scheda madre.

    • Sta attento a non surriscaldare la scheda e il cavo. Appoggia il saldatore sui contatti solo il tempo necessario a sciogliere la saldatura. Il calore eccessivo potrebbe danneggiare la scheda madre o sciogliere il cavo a nastro.

    • Inizia a lavorare dall'esterno del cavo a nastro della batteria. Scalda la saldatura più esterna mentre fai leva delicatamente verso l'alto da sotto il cavo a nastro per separarlo dalla scheda. Ripeti questa procedura per le altre due saldature rimaste, continuando dall'esterno verso l'interno.

    Make sure to use plenty of flux to avoid lifting pads

    Craig - Replica

    READ ALL THE STEPS BEFORE YOU BEGIN

    1. Do NOT use a metal spudger for this.

    2. Cover surrounding components with Kapton tape.

    3. Optional (if you found this tutorial and are replacing the volume/power flex cable and your battery is good) Cover two of the three leads with Kapton tape to avoid shorting a good battery.

    6. Set your temperature on your soldering iron with a flat chisel tip.

    7. Apply a little flux to a copper soldering braid.

    8. Place the copper braid on the contact that you want to de-solder - you may need to lightly hold it steady with your thumb in place.

    9. From the bottom of the cable very gently push up with your index finger.

    10. With your other hand, the one with your iron, gently press down to melt the solder, as soon as the solder melts use your index finger to gently push the cable up so as to disconnect the cable from the solder pad. Wait about 15 seconds for the solder to cool.

    11. Insert a piece of kapton tape between the cable and solder pad.

    12. Repeat steps 7-12 for the remaining two contacts.

    Country Computer Service - Replica

    FLUX WARNING:

    If using flux, be sure to use 94%+ alcohol (once the battery is disconnected completely) to clean off any remaining flux. Don't try cleaning flux off until the battery is removed to avoid pushing debris between contacts and onto other components that will cause a short.

    Rule of thumb, if power is flowing through a logic board don't apply alcohol or try to clean it. Always remove the power source then thoroughly clean. Pushing around small metal particles in alcohol while a device is "hot" is the fastest way to cause a short or electrical arching.

    jonono2 - Replica

    I followed what another user had suggested and didn't remove the logic board - it worked well and I managed to do it easily enough. However, when trying to remove the solder and cable from the battery terminals (it was really tricky) I think I may have pulled the pad off. I put my iPod back together anyway but now it won't boot, show up in iTunes when it's plugged in or (in fact) do anything. Could the possible loss of the middle terminal be the root of these problems?

    Dan - Replica

    In this step DON’T USE A METAL SPUDGER!!! Use the plastic/nylon one from ifixit. Then there will be no chance of bridging the contacts on either the battery or the logic board.

    • A questo punto, la batteria dovrebbe essere separata dalla scheda madre.

    • Rimuovi la batteria originale dalla scheda madre e mettila da parte.

  26. Sostituzione Batteria iPod Touch 4a Generazione: passo 26, immagine 1 di 2 Sostituzione Batteria iPod Touch 4a Generazione: passo 26, immagine 2 di 2
    • Ora usa il saldatore per appiattire la saldatura sui contatti della scheda madre. Le immagini mostrano il prima e il dopo.

    • Ricorda di non scaldare troppo i contatti.

    Hello, I have pulled the middle pad off my iPod 4th Generation how can i repair this?

    Karl - Replica

    I did the same thing and accidentally pulled the middle battery pad from the logic board. I know that I am supposed to gently remove the 'laquer' or 'shellac' covering around the area of the pad in order to expose the copper circuit underneath. I am just not sure which circuit I should be working with. A good closeup of the area to work on would be greatly apreciated.

    • Appoggia la nuova batteria in posizione e allinea il foro più lontano con il contatto più lontano. Usa un pezzo di nastro isolante per tenere il cavo contro i contatti.

    • Installare la batteria al contrario (con il cavo rivolto verso l'alto) distruggerà la scheda madre.

    • Appoggia la striscia di nastro adesivo sull'estremità del cavo a nastro della batteria per coprire gli altri due contatti e tenere i contatti contro la scheda madre.

    • Scalda il contatto più a destra fino a sciogliere la saldatura, quindi applicane ancora una piccola quantità sul contatto, lasciandola scorrere attraverso i due fori sul cavo e verso la scheda madre.

    • Non applicare troppa saldatura. La quantità richiesta per una buona presa è molto poca.

    • Non appena la saldatura è arrivata sul contatto, rimuovi sia la saldatura che il saldatore.

  28. Sostituzione Batteria iPod Touch 4a Generazione: passo 28, immagine 1 di 1
    • Sposta il pezzo di nastro in modo che non copra più gli altri due contatti. Se sei soddisfatto della posizione del cavo rispetto ai contatti, procedi. Altrimenti dissalda il primo contatto e riprova.

    • Salda i due contatti rimasti sulla scheda madre, stando attento a non surriscaldare il cavo o la scheda.

    Thanks for your trouble of detailing the battery replacement. Frankly, I would rather buy another Ipod rather than go through the process and likely screw it up half way through. Of course, that is exactly what Apple has in mind for the consumer.

Where do i get the best quality battery?

Dave - Replica

Did it! Now screen is a bit funky when I press on the sides of the iPod. Although all seems good :)

Thanks iFixit!

Philipp Boulanov - Replica

I had a similar problem when pressing on the center button. Turns out it was too much solder on the battery connector. I had to disassemble again and used some solder wick to lower the solder blobs. I suspect that the back plate must not be completely flat for you.

Joshua Belcher -

I followed this guide to the letter but the new battery only has half a charge and will not take a charge when plugged in. Any thoughts?

Bill Lee - Replica

To clarify, does the battery show as charging when plugged in? If so, will it go from no/low charge back up to half charge? If this is the case, I would contact whoever sold you the battery and ask for a replacement.

Joshua Belcher -

For those using rework stations, what temperatures are recommended for the iron & hot air blower?

Daniel Lott - Replica

The following temperatures worked well for me:

150ºC hot air for softening adhesives.

290ºC for removing old solder.

Make sure to add liquid flux before removing all traces of old solder, & clean all surfaces.

Apply new flux to both sides of Kapton cables as well as the board. Set your iron temperature acording to the recommended setting for your ROHS electronics solder.

*DO NOT USE NON ROHS or lead bearing solder*

*DO NOT USE plumbing or acid core solder as this will destroy your electronics*

Daniel Lott -

To anybody who gets a white screen when trying to power on the device, all that is needed is a forced restart, just hold the home and power buttons until you get the apple logo

Hugh Powell - Replica

Invaluable. especially re screw lengths-though how you tell a 2.3mm screw from a 2.4mm screw is a bit of a poser. Unsoldering the battery before folding the logic board out of the way worked for me. Unsoldering the old battery connections was difficult, though, as the battery fitted had the connections apparently covered in plastic. Didn't find any problems using leaded solder - certainly in UK it is allowed for repair work.

Steve - Replica

Just to say, Thank you! :)

Marc - Replica

I was a complete and total newbie. I replaced the battery and the screen with this tutorial. I accidentally missed a screw and I think that is why my volume down button didn't make it out alive but that was my only casualty. As I have never soldered before I watched a youtube video on soldering tips first and that helped my confidence. Overall it was very stressful but I have kids too which added to that, but it was a success! Thanks for this very detailed awesome guide!

Aimee Gordon - Replica

Although these are very nice, detailed instructions, I ruined my Ipod on Step 19. If you do not lift the assembly carefully at this step, the FPC cable attached between the logic board and the case will tear VERY EASILY!

Carlos - Replica

I just did this with (relative) ease, but I turned it back on yesterday and have had it plugged in the whole time, and it WILL NOT charge! It being my first ipod repair there were a number of casualties, but nothing I considered to be life or death...

1) internal speaker wire got sliced somehow, not even sure how...

2) ribbon cable to volume control completely separated (again, not even sure how)

How does the battery even get power? It's just soldered to the logic board....does electricity just go through the soldering/ribbon cable into/out of the battery?

Chris - Replica

Hello, first of all, congratulations on the great guide!

I`d like to give a hint. You don`t NEED to go through all the steps to change the battery. You can skip STEPS 16 to 23. You don`t need to actually remove the logic board to change the battery. Just desolder the connections and pass the riboon below the board. That`ll save some time.

Another hint is BE CAREFUL with the heat gun. I used it too much and I think that I`ve damaged something. But it was my fault =[

Great guide, thanks!!

I skipped steps 6 and 9-23 and it worked perfect. Pulled the battery out without removing the logic board after snipping the bad battery flex cable fed the new battery flex carefully between the logic board. Beware... tons of adhesive between battery and copper tape below

isaiah75 - Replica

Completed battery replacement over two days. Everything is working. The carefully worded procedure, although sufficient, is not for the faint of heart! Patience is paramount. Adhesive, 'foam rubber' seals, silicone over battery pads, and odd-shaped speaker and other components provided added challenge for me. I made good use of additional items: 7X fine tip tweezers, Exacto knife, plastic dental pick, additional tiny screwdriver, solder wick, Kapton tape to provide extra layer of insulation over new battery pads, and OptiVisor to accommodate my 66 yr old eyesight. Without these instructions, the battery replacement would have been near impossible. Thanks.

I replace the battery and it worked but a few days later it stopped working, open it up and I messed up the FTC connector, now need to replace FTC connector and the flex cable, help please how to do it?

DSANTIAGOSOY - Replica

Thank you for the guide!

My ipod ran through the washing machine and the dryer, the battery appeared to be unable to charge. So I changed it with the guide.

I was able to change the battery at the step 17, I skipped the step 13 and 15, and I could have skipped 9 to 11 with the headphone jack.

It was not easy to pry the different parts and to seat back the LCD cable at the end, be patient!

jimjty - Replica

Yes I accomplished this but it was difficult. Really wish Apple was a bit nicer about designing these things. I found that using a heating pad worked really well a loosening up the adhesive. I felt it was a bit safer than the heat gun approach less likely to have overheating issues.

Brian Lenz - Replica

I follow the guide to replace battery and it work. Had some what of a time removing the battery because the adhesive was adhering strongly, but finally it separated from the housing. Desoldering and resoldering and the reassembling went well.

So now I have my ipod back . Thanks for the wonderful guide.

I ended up breaking the board at 18... I think this step could be skipped... I think one could unsolder the ports after 17. Remove the battery, install, the battery en resolder after that point... Thanks anyways...

Hi, I have replaced the battery, at first, the spare shiiii...ty battery was weird and only charged to 50% then it never charged until it ran out of any charge.

then after detaching the shiiii...ty battery, in the middle of the process I accidentally broke the "volume" and "touch screen" flat cable, and lost all the mini screws.

fortunately, the main board was intact and i connected it to a very ordinary 3.7 V-4000 mAh lipo battery and it work perfect!! (naturally it does not fit in the casing anymore!)

sometime i detach the LCD panel and I use it only as a very powerful and compact music player!

My advice ~ {{{{{{{{{ Don't waste your money on the "Original" shiiii...ty spare batteries, you can buy an ion-battery as cheap as a few bucks in any capacity }}}}}}}}}}}}}

Good, it is called very complicate !!! Apple does all to make it nearly impossible to change the battery. But I did it !!! I am happy. It took me about 6 hours an d at the end I missed the instruction how to glue all together again.? I fortunately bought the set for it together with the battery. But cleaning all from the old glue took half of the time. Thank you for the good step by step instruction.

I’m new to the fixing products industry and i was just wondering as to why you have to take all the logic board and headphone jack out etc because i thought that all you had to do was to open up the device and use the pull tabs to release the battery, or is this just on the more recent devices.

Harry Sparkes - Replica

Hello, I replaced the battery of my 4th generation iPod touch with that of another exactly identical iPod. Since then, the screen always shows the red battery icon with the lightning bolt symbol. What should I do?

Shawn Poulin - Replica

Crikey. I’ve been given an old iPod such as this one, which is not holding a charge. Having read this, I’m not sure I want to try replacing the battery myself - especially since I don’t know how to solder and don’t own a heat gun!

paul - Replica

You can skip steps 18-23 by desoldering the 3 battery connections and unsticking the old battery from the copper film that is stuck to the backplate with an opening tool at step 17. The battery will curl but this isn’t a problem so long as you don’t bend it too far. Slide the old battery out from under the logic board. Use the opening tool to smooth down the copper film if it has lifted by pressing down firmly and pushing the blade from centre to outer edge. Slide the new battery beneath the logic board and wrap the ribbon over the top. Solder up and reassemble.

John Chisholm - Replica

Hi is there a need for a new adhesive? The guide does not talk about the step when the parts are finally put back together. Or is using the heat gun again with the old adhesive sufficient? Will the device resist rain and humidity once reassembled?
