Example video of how it responds:

(idk y this vid doesn’t wanna work)

Update: I was able to get it into recovery mode and seen by iTunes. When restoring, their servers for the software don’t exist, so i have to use my own ipsw file. No problem! iTunes, however, says that it was in and wants the iPod to be in DFU mode. (vid 2) I don’t know what’s wrong though since it gives the same message when an iPod is already in DFU mode? (vid 3)

iTunes seems to give the same DFU error when restoring either iPod, so I’m not sure what the problem is. I’ve tried reinstalling iTunes, using different versions even(both new and old). Both iPods and pc have been restarted multiple times, to no avail, even different usb ports.(I don’t have a mac to try this on, or else i would have) I truly believe that my iPod is more than a paperweight, but there seems to be a large corporate entity standing in front of me. How do I solve this DFU problem?

iPod iTouch, before shut down I got the model number: PD058LL/A v 6.16 (10B500)
Old battery APN: 616-0552
Old Battery VPN: P 11GC5-01-S01T
New battery APN: 616-0553
New battery VPN: LIS1458APPC

iFixit P/N's on the box: 85653088
IF146-008-1

Wife bought this battery from iFixIt for her old iPod, and said "here you go, fix it." :-D

Issue #1: Polarity markings on the cable are reversed, exactly as described here. With a mag glass I can see the + and - are opposite on the ribbon if I install the battery with the printed side up. I can see if I install the battery with the printing facing down in the case, the + and - will properly align, but this puts the ribbon cable on the other side of the iPod case, not the original position. Is this acceptable?

Issue #2: The original battery has a few micro IC's directly on the battery ribbon, the new battery does not. Will this battery work without these IC components?

In the below you can see I have not de-soldered the old ribbon but can see the polarity of the old battery, as well as the IC's on the old ribbon.

My iPod touch 2nd gen was working fine, but when I unplugged it it shut straight off.

Now when it's plugged in, it won't turn on.

I have already tried holding home and power button. That didn't do anything.

Any Suggestions?

This was a working iPod Touch 6th Gen, 32GB Gold in a noticeably bent housing. I got a replacement used housing, moved the working board and screen into the used housing, new battery, all worked great until I opened the camera app, which seemingly killed the board, now it does the rapid bootloop and can't hold a charge at all. It never fully boots up, just goes white apple screen to black screen repeatedly.

I don't think anyone would expect a used original rear camera to be dangerous, yes I did already try swapping another rear camera and another new battery, no change.

So I take it I need another logic board? I'd just like to know why iPod Touches die like this. Did the NAND flash die? Charging circuit? Sad this probably can't be fixed.

I got a third battery to test with and it actually worked, the iPod touch lives again!! Seems gotta get a really good battery and make sure it's soldered really well.

Also I would like to add that im not trying to be mean because I known they dont hold a very long charge like a modern phone but I thought it would be better since the battery was replaced. And I just didnt expect it to heat up like that. Also if anyone would like to add any tips because Im am hoping to kind of use it as a mp3 player.

When I connect I see the backlight glowing. Screen is black except for brief image of nearly dead battery. Sometimes if I press power I see the apple logo.

Thank you
