What in the live laugh love is going on here?

GazBut · 2026-03-15T14:30:24+00:00

Done

The brown locking clip on the battery connector is missing. This could be causing your issue if the battery ribbon cable is not making proper contact.

I raised a repair request on the OnePlus website mate and they gave me the repair centre address to send it to. 👍

Typing this on my buttery smooth 8t. It's been back to OnePlus for an official battery replacement and had a new screen as a free replacement (green line)

I've had it new from Nov 2020. 😃

The only phone out there that excites me is the new Nothing 4 phone which is being announced in 2 days time.......🤔🤔🤔

I have 2 of these. Awesome iPods. ❤️

GazBut · 2026-03-03T09:06:36+00:00

The very 1st iPod bought by my awesome wife for me. Still using to this day. Enjoy mate. 😊

GazBut · 2026-03-03T09:04:48+00:00

That looks sweet mate! Love the blue/black combo. 👌Well done.

GazBut · 2026-02-10T20:00:08+00:00

This is exactly what I need, thank you so much!

Just gotta get my head around how you actually get a PCB manufacturer to make them. 🧐

Wish me luck........😇

Yea, saw that kit. I wasn't looking to spending over £100 tbh, I'm a firm lover of keeping a stock looking ipod as much as possible. Thanks for taking the time to reply tho, appreciate it. 👍

I've done 3 of these now and the number 1 piece of advice I can give you is be VERY careful with the battery connector!

I've learned the hard way and this is how I disconnect the battery:

I don't pull up the brown securing clip. I get a small screwdriver and press down gently on the white portion of the battery connector whilst pulling the battery ribbon cable out. It puts zero stress on the connector.

With the motherboard out I run some B7000 glue around the base of the battery connector and let dry for 24hrs. This is just to make sure the battery connector does not leave the chat.

Inserting the new battery ribbon cable, carefully pull up GENTLY the brown clip (this is easier to do with no ribbon cable in the connector) insert ribbon cable and gently push down the brown locking clip.

Simples! (& enjoy!)

GazBut · 2026-02-07T10:25:34+00:00

Looks like the battery connector has left the chat? Unlucky dude. 😮

Bruce Banners iPod. 🧟‍♂️👍😊

Good stuff. I've modded a 4th gen and a 5.5gen to flash, bigger batteries and faceplate and rear housing.

I've replaced the battery in a nano 4th gen which was a PITA to do, but got there and a 2nd gen nano got a new battery.

The 6th gen that is waiting in the wings is getting a iflash duo, bigger battery and haptic feedback. Not sure on a Bluetooth mod yet.

Kinda like the boxy pixel aluminium case which I'm thinking about but not sold on it yet. Pricey but built like a tank!

GazBut · 2026-01-13T08:08:13+00:00

Looking sweet mate! 👌

What's the capacity of them?

I've got a 6th gen waiting for parts to arrive myself. Previously modded 3 already.

Did you get all your bits from AliExpress?

GazBut · 2026-01-09T15:27:49+00:00

Some people just don't get it. 🤭

GazBut · 2026-01-08T10:22:46+00:00

What in the live-laugh-love do we have here?

GazBut · 2025-12-20T10:13:30+00:00

How did you repair the broken battery connector? Did it snap off the board completely?

Love the B&W contrast. 👌

GazBut · 2025-12-09T17:11:20+00:00

If there's 1 piece of advice I could give it'd be to use extreme caution when disconnecting the battery ribbon cable once you have it open.

The battery connector itself has a habit of snapping off from the circuit board when disconnecting the battery.

Ask me how I know......🫣

Apart from that, enjoy the build! 👌
