hi, I’m trying to fix three iPods nano 7th generation. I damaged their charging pods in some of them. I don’t know what do I need to do, I’m good at soldering and have a microscope but don’t know what are the next steps. Any help will be highly appreciated it, please take a look at the pictures, it shows the three ipods being affected. Thanks in advance.

I need to run jumpers from the missing solder pads for the battery connection but I’m unsure to what points.

Can someone with knowledge please advise?

Help is greatly appreciated.

(it doesn't stay at 5% or 25% all of the time just using those numbers as examples)

i just noticed it only glitches after saying connect to power and goes to 20-30% for 30 secs-1 minute

i have had problems with this same device before.

There's basically an imaginary horizontal line in the screen where it assumes I'm not touching it, which locks me out of certain menu items, and forbids me from scrolling with too big finger motions. Is there any chance I can solve this without replacing the digitizer?

My "sleep/wake" button is also stuck, but that's the smaller issue

I put my daughter's iPod through the wash, and when discovered let it dry for a day, then tried to see if it would work. It turns on, but there is only a white screen with the apple logo. It's non-responsive and doesn't register on my Mac or iTunes when I plug it in. Is it fixable?

Placing it in rice won't work, as this was a few years ago. I took it to apple and they wanted to charge me $80 which I didn't have at the time. Just wondering if it's worth trying to fix it myself?

Thanks

I initially thought the problem was with the video file itself, but when I connected my iPod nano 7 to my computer via iTunes and played the video stored on the iPod's internal memory, everything played back perfectly without any noise.

Additionally, when I play music and quickly drag the progress bar, I notice a very brief noise, which is so short that it's almost unnoticeable unless you listen carefully.

The video format details are as follows: H.264, 720 x 576, 30 fps, Baseline. The audio format details are: AAC-LC, 128kbps, 48kHz.

I've checked my headphones and they are working fine. I've also tried restarting my iPod, using different format conversion software, and even importing the video using another computer, but the problem still persists. =(

Currently, my iPod hasn't suffered any severe impacts or water damage, and the battery hasn't been replaced since I bought it.

I suspect the issue might be due to battery aging, as when charging, it doesn't show the charging process animation but directly displays the fully charged state animation (although this could be by design). I can't think of any other reason for this problem. I'm hoping someone can help me resolve this issue. :)
