Greetings, After replacing the lock button on my phone; My battery life has been very short. In example : full charge at...

Actually I have had some luck with several methods. (1) Try a hardware recycling facility. (2) Local game stores that accept trade-ins - ask if you can either leave a message or a Flyer (3) Ask through your local group of friends (4) Places like Craig's list etc Also for the type of repair that you are looking for; as PS3 with a dead hard drive and/or disk drive could be a viable option.

After a time or cycles of recharging... batteries wear out. My suggestion is to replace the battery

Have you tried a hard restart....? Hold lock and home for about 10 seconds. Generally with most Ipods that i work on i some how bumb either home or lock while it is off it boots while I am repairing it... and then acts like a brick.... So if you would... hold lock and home for about ten seconds and it should boot... If not... then you might have ESD'd the device.... ESD is eletro static damage, your body can have a charge of several thousand volts, and then pass this charge to the device. To see the spark, such as when you rub your socks on the carpet it has to be at least 20,000 volts. meanwhile...your device will be harmed with as little as 12 volts. Update: With ESD in my experience it is DIFFICULT beyond all reason to find where the damage is. With the I pods...I would make sure that there is a signal going from both buttons to the logic board and the cables going to the screen and digitizer. Charge the battery? After that either new ipod or new logic board....

I would suggest a lint free cloth, there are some really good microfiber cloths that are antistatic. As for a liquid, I actually do not suggest using water; What I use is Denatured alcohol.

Online at the usual suspects?

Or some hobby stores or places that sell tools will sometimes carry these.

Has anyone had trouble with the battery draining really really <i.e. 10% in 15 min> fast after removing the battery?

Can we edit this to say 4 screws?
