店舗での修理はめんどくさいんで自分で修理する方法も教えてくださると幸いです。

ちなみに、日本仕様のやつなので、技適マークが保持されたまんま修理が行える方法が知りたいです。

また、故障の原因は、軽度の水没である可能性があります。これらの情報を配慮した上での修理方法を教えてくださると幸いです。

I accidentally damaged the original battery pad (red circle) and also damaged the small gold via/test point (black circle). To repair the battery connection, I ran a thin copper jumper wire from the yellow circled point, which appears to be a good battery trace/pad, to the damaged battery pad area.

The iPod powers on, but it doesn’t seem to hold a charge properly. I tried charging it, but the battery either doesn’t charge or doesn’t retain the charge.

My questions are:

• Does my jumper repair from the yellow point to the original battery pad look correct?
• Could the damaged gold via/test point in the black circle be part of the charging or battery sensing circuit?
• Is there a way to determine where that damaged via originally connected?
• Has anyone repaired this area on an iPod Nano 7th gen before and knows the correct fix?

ALSO HOW CAN I FIX THAT YELLOW DOT IN THE BLACK CIRCLE

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I’ve attached photos of the damage and my repair attempt. Thanks!

This is the actual logic board

I tried to scratch off one of the damaged iPods I had. This photo shows a scratched off logic board of a damaged iPod.

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.

This picture is from another unit, but the missing pad on my board is located in the red circle. Please let me know where I should trace or reconnect it.

Thanks.

On the logic board of an iPod Nano 7th generation, I damaged two solder pad areas marked in my diagram.

One area is inside a black circle where the solder pad is completely lifted or missing. I don’t know where this pad originally connects, and I’m not sure how to properly restore the connection since there is no usable copper left in that spot.

Another area is inside a red circle, which is also damaged but I already ran a repair there.

There is also a yellow circle where I ran a thin copper wire, and that one is the only point I connected to the battery line.

Right now my main issue is the black circled area. I don’t know the correct point on the board to jump it to, or how to trace it properly when the pad is completely gone.

Has anyone repaired something like this before? What is the safest way to find the correct alternate connection point and rebuild that line without risking instability or damaging the board further?

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?

When I plug it in it will charge, but not connect, it doesn't show up in iTunes, explorer, disk manager or device manager. The iPod is otherwise fully functional.

Things I've tried:

Hard Reset (both when connected and not)

Disk Mode

Original Apple cable, and aftermarket cables (charges on all, won't connect)

Uninstalling iTunes

Restarting computer with iPod attached

Uninstalling all USB drivers and restarting

Plugged into Windows 7/10 and OSX, no change.

I even tried connecting it to an android phone with an adapter .

Reset iPod settings

I am pulling (what little is left) of my hair out with this! I have come to the end of the internet and I've run out of options, the only thing left to assume is that it's a hardware issue but it was literally working, then sat on a desk for a bit, then stopped working, nothing happened in between and it never had any issues before.

Any insight is appreciated, even solidarity if you are experiencing the same thing. It's just so frustrating, at least if it showed some sign of connectivity I would have a glimmer of hope, but I have nothing to go on if I can't even try to access the device.

SIGH.

Thanks,
