How To Fix Replace Apple Ipod Touch 6TH Gen Battery

[@DPoRTube]

Following this video, I was able to successfully change the battery on the iPod 6th gen. I especially liked the idea of using a template to store parts. Beautifully shot, good sound.

[@outsourcerepairs]

Thank you for the feedback and I am glad you were able to replace the battery in your device successfully.

[@joeloreilly3399]

Thank you very much for this very well done video! I had purchased a new battery from you and was very nervous about installing it but your video walked me through it and my iPod seems to be doing good :)

[@outsourcerepairs]

Hello, If you have a multimeter test the battery voltage on the battery. If it is between 2.8-3.0V the battery may be bad. What symptoms of battery failure did you have before replacing the battery?

[@outsourcerepairs]

Which pad did you remove? Right, center or left pad? This is what is causing your boot loop.

[@outsourcerepairs]

Okay, the board may be able to repaired or not. You can contact a local cell phone repair shop and see if they can perform the repair, if not you can mail it in to us and we can run a jumper to connect the battery to the missing solder pad circuit. If you have any further questions please contact me.

I'm really in need of getting my son's ipod 6 screen replaced, what do you charge? Or can I send in his locked ipod 5 with a perfect screen to replace it?

[@ojiwankenobi]

Thanks for this. I just now used your instructions to replace my iPod 6 battery. It’s reassembled and charging at this moment. (Knock on wood). My battery connection cover seemed to have been glued to the connectors at the factory. No desoldering was necessary. Before soldering the new battery onto them, I smeared a bit of solder to each of the iPod’s battery connection points. Other than that small difference, my experience was similar to that depicted in the video.

[@tbamagic]

Dear Outsource Repairs, Thank you for this excellent video. While my attempt to repair did not work out (the unit did not turn on after I put it back together), I would like to e-mail you the unit with a new replacement screen, new replacement battery, and new back cover so you can use for spare parts. I hope this can save you a few dollars and serve as a Thank you.

[@Magsimoo]

Battery check: sometimes new ones are faulty. Never put item bk together until tested and working. It will come back out really easy next time now

[@isthtmg]

Seems easy but the soldering part, I don't understand. Can I just unsolder the battery connections and then re solder then and it the iPod will work just fine?

[@BillAnt]

You need to remove the excess solder first with the desoldering braid to lift away the connector cleanly without damage. Honestly this repair is not for beginners/novices due to its difficulty level, you're better off taking it to a local mobile repair shop and they'll do it for you properly for a few bucks.

[@drochalsey]

Thank you SO much! Absolutely excellent video. One quick question though … does anything need to be reset, as I saw some sort of "repair-screen-display??" when you were connecting and disconnecting the battery to AC, or does that just go away after the 1st* springboard boot up? {*1st after battery replacement, that is}

[@BrianWMay]

I find IPA is good for removing adhesive, using a syringe and allow it to run behind the battery. It won't damage the plastic or electrics at all. Just give it time to evaporate before powering up.

[@Dan57Thom]

Very comprehensive. Worth the watch!! Thx

[@outsourcerepairs]

[@modelman6059]

Your very fine video has given me the confidence to go ahead and replace the battery in my ipod touch 5th gen. Thank you for your expertice. I am aware that the home button will need to be removed on the 5th generation model as it fits through a slot in the metal shield.

[@EvilGhost420]

Hey, would you mind telling us what kind of tape u used around the connection, and what flux did u use around 14:14 on the video. Thanks.

[@BillAnt]

It's called Kapton tape which can withstand high temperates without melting, while the flux is just regular soldering flux which it's not really critical in this case.

Thx for the vid, have 1 question. During the moving around the tiny square piece I guess is the camera on the cable detached from the lense. At 29:38 in the vid u can see it at the top center near the numbering printed o the top cover, its a mesh like tiny square assy. The lense may have a little junk on it too. what to clean it with and use tiny dab of glue to reattach?

[@brianschneidewind5756]

Bought a battery from you and followed the directions (old battery worked ok, just wouldn’t hold a charge for more than 20 min), but I’m getting the low battery icon with a red stripe after charging for a while. Any advice?

[@brianschneidewind5756]

My bad... I must not have lined up the terminals well the first time. Resoldered, and it works fine now!

[@michaelp3076]

you don't need to heat the back to get the battery out. the 3M adhesive taps are accessible if you have a fine nose needle nose pliers or good tweezers. the black pull tabs are located one on the bottom right side of the battery and the other is on the left side at the top just under the battery cable. they are stretchy enough that once you grab a hold of the tab you can carefully pull it and the adhesive strip will come out.

[@Magsimoo]

Apologies for the stupid question. May I ask about the soldering? Is it actually needed or can you change the battery without it. Thank you

[@outsourcerepairs]

It's not a stupid question. Unfortunately you'll need to solder the battery to the logic board.

[@rhen1215]

So I peeled off that sticker thing at 7:27 but the metal sheet came with it. Now it won’t turn on. Is that the problem? If so where can I get a part for it

[@outsourcerepairs]

Hello, The tape serves as a barrier between the EMI shield and battery connections. You can replace it with a thin piece of electrical tape or kapton tape. As far as the iPod not turning on I'd need to know a little more about the state of the device. Is the device fully assembled and does the Apple logo come on then shut off?

[@rhen1215]

@@outsourcerepairs just no power at all. I burnt off the third pad on the battery contact but got it resoldered and in there good. Even with a super fast lighting cable that can even power on things without a battery there just seems to be no sign of life at all

I change the battery of my iPod and it does not charge completely it just reach 53% and thats it, when I disconnect it from the power it almost immediately goes to almost 5%, I really don't understand this, Do you have any advise to this matter? Thanks.

[@BillAnt]

Most likely the middle pin of the battery called the BLI/BSI (Battery Level Indicator) is not soldered on properly, therefore the phone won't charge accordingly. Try to reflow the solder again on the middle pin with more flux. It's also possible that your "aftermarket" battery is such low quality that the phone simply rejects to charge it. Don't forget, "You get what you pay for!" ;)

[@Duckers_McQuack]

Did you make that smaller pipe on the tip of the heatgun to concentrate the heat in one spot? Or where did you buy it? I´m gonna start doing this stuff myself as well. Also, got the template i can print too for that ipod sheet to put the screws on?

I follow most of this, but am confused about the solder type. Was that lead solder from somebody else? A factory iPod have lead-free rosin core solder, right? So for a stock (ie: never cracked opened) iPod, just use the rosin-core for this procedure?

Great video!!! I Just replaced my i pod 6 gen. Battery and everything went great. but now the battery will not charge over 28%. when i go into setting under battery i get no info. check voltage on battery and its good. dont know why it will not charge. when you plug in the charger its says charging. please any thing will help

[@outsourcerepairs]

Do you have a multi meter? If so test the battery(Disconnect battery from logic board when testing) and let me know how many volts the battery has?

[@dragonwarriorlegend8838]

This is a iPod touch 6 so i will have to desolder the battery. I am Getting 3.81volts on the far right and center with no charger and battery at 20%. and 4.12volts on the center and 3.81v on right with the charger hooked up. I can Desolder the battery if needed.Just want to make sure before i do that. Thanks for all your help.

[@dragonwarriorlegend8838]

Out Source i Desolder the new battery and checked voltage it was 3.78v. Solder the battery back in and now it's working. Charge up to 100% . I have one more issue maybe you can help with. I broke the front facing camera and order a new one. How do you attach the contact point to the logic board?

[@outsourcerepairs]

Before installing the front facing camera make sure you disconnect the battery. When installing the new front facing camera line up the solder pads on the logic board with the solder connections on the front facing camera flex cable then tape in place. Do not cover all connections with tape because you are going to solder the cable to the logic board. You're only using the tape to hold the cable in place while soldering. Once you are finished soldering the front facing camera flex cable cover solder connections with Kapton Tape.

[@dingusbingus8554]

With new batteries you need to charge it to 100% before doing anything so the battery remembers to charge to that level

[@JPMitreN]

Question, and this might be a dumb one, but is a true honest question: would the iPod still work with out the battery? I just took mine out (maybe the wrong way, I still did it)

[@outsourcerepairs]

No the iPod would not function without the battery

[@JPMitreN]

@@outsourcerepairs yeah I found out

[@chernandez303]

I followed this video step by step and was able to get a good solid connection after soldering the new battery connector. When I turned it on, everything was fine. As I put the battery flex cable cover on with no Kapton tape, I got a spark and it burned a small hole in that cover. Would that be caused because there is no Kapton tape between the solder and the cover or would it be caused by something else??? Please help, thank you.

[@NBMSCH]

yesterday i found my ipod 6th gen screen popped up (likely wasn't shaterrend) i knew it was the battery (swollen) but now the plastic frame/bezel that holds on the LCD is loose... i don't know what will happen after installing a new battery because this frame that has the clips that holds on the metal housing.. will the LCD remain loose or should i glue it? thank you

[@outsourcerepairs]

The adhesive on the EMI shield will hold the digitizer in place. If you decide to glue the the frame to the LCD make sure you use an applicator and apply very little glue so it does not seep out onto the screen. Any further questions please let me know.

[@michelleford3748]

Awww thought all was going well until you did the soldering hmmmmmm. This newer ipod is not half as good as the old ones they just keep going forever. This one has been replaced once under warranty and now the battery is kaput, I guess. Your demonstration is superb but still too hard for me unfortunately.

[@SonnetGomes]

If the battery OEM? I would be surprised if Apple allowed any of their OEM parts to be sourced, but I would very glad if they do. My ipod could definitely use a new battery. Rather than throwing it away, it is a good way to recycle and keep the environment clean.

[@scientist100]

This is an indication of a short. I had an iPhone 6 Plus that was doing that and after careful inspection "on the LCD ribbon cable" I noticed a burn mark that was somehow making contact with one of the pins. I cleaned the area and with a tweezer I broke the bridge that was visible "under a microscope" and after that the boot looping went away.

The constant boot looping is either caused by breaking the battery cable (or pads), or a firmware error (try reflashing it in DFU mode).

Hey great video! Very professional. I have a question that you may know the answer too. I do side work with electronics.

I replaced the battery and now it will charge up but it hesitates like when you first power it on it shows dead on the icon then about 30 seconds later shows fully charged.

Yes it does. If possible replace your 6th gen iPod with a 7th gen.

Well that didn’t go as planned, replacement battery didn’t even switch the unit on.

I've never owned or used a heat gun or a soldering gun. No wonder I've never been able to fix anything electronic.

[@Apple_2048]

iPhone battery replacements and such are much, much easier. No soldering needed.
