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.

I woke up and it was soaked and shut off. I immediately opened it and desoldered the battery and power flex. I soaked the thing in isopropyl alcohol and scrubbed with a tooth bruh. The iPod booted up but the speaker was only producing a hissing/static sound. This only happen when the iPod was up past 30%. So I changed the speaker about 5 times, same thing. This doesn’t happen with headphones or my AirPods.

I really wanna fix this as it was my dads, please help! :)

I have an old iPod Touch that I dug out of the drawer. Plugged it in into the charger and after about 15 seconds the thing came up with just a white screen. It stays for about 5 seconds and turns off, but you can get the screen to come back on if you press the power/home button (as if it was at the lock screen). There are no sounds however, e.g the old pre-iOS 7 charging sound is not there.

I can’t get it into DFU mode, as I mentioned. I’ve heard fixes about replacing the screen but I’ve never replaced the screen or done anything at all to the thing. iTunes/Finder doesn’t recognize it aswell. The charger port obviously works since there would be no other way the device would’ve turned on in the first place.

I even tried connecting it to a monitor (with the 30pin to VGA adapter) and all I got were a bunch of gray lines. No idea how that would help.

At this point I can’t describe the issue any further so it would really help if any solutions are given below. I’ll try to respond as quickly as I can.

Thanks.

Says: Not Enough Storage and it says close or settings

On it. I pressed close but it won't and it's frozen over the slide

So I can't unlock my iPod. Anyone know how to fix this technical

Issue? I have already tried turning it all the way off

But it won't let me slide that either.

Hopefully you can kind of see the faint horizontal lines - none are there permanently, it’s not damage or anything, they just glitch around. The slightly darker lines near the top center of the screen is actually the time on the lock screen glitching around, so it’s not just the pure white “white screen of death”.

I’ve tried holding down buttons (power+home, or power+volume up+home) and letting the power drain before charging it all the way back up, but maybe this is something physically wrong with the display because it tries to display what it’s supposed to but it can’t.

It does connect to iTunes and everything, so the device still (more or less) functions correctly.

Thanks
