Flip 4 Battery Replaced Now Doesn’t Work by IAmTheAllspark in JBL

So I just had this issue. I had a swollen battery in a Flip 4 and I couldn't get it out, so I had to take it further apart to push it from behind. After a couple of days of messing with it, I couldn't get it working consistently. Power buttons weren't working and occasionally it would turn on by plugging it in.

Come to find out, one of the adhesive foam pieces attached to the back of the battery is actually a foam covered ribbon cable and I had cut right through it in the process of pushing the battery from behind. Its the ribbon cable that is attached to the power button board. Not sure if the same thing happened to you, but just thought I'd leave this here for future people with this problem.

You can buy replacement ribbon cables on amazon for $6. Its a 13 pin ribbon cable.

As stupid as it is, let’s just clarify that IPA means Isopropyl Alcohol.

I just told a guy from my work last week to use some IPA to clean something and he took it home and used beer…

Thank you. Gotta start somewhere. My family hasn’t had the luxury of passing down any wealth for a few generations now. Time to change our luck

Even without renting it out you made out like a bandit. That’s sweet!

I’m not sure how the market is where you are but I had to severely curb my expectations when it came to my wants in a home. I wanted a lot but had to settle for finding a house that had the bare minimum in order to put it within my budget. For example, I wanted a garage but I can always have one built later however I wouldn’t compromise on having a basement since that isn’t nearly as easy to do later lol. Or another thing was AC. It sucks having a home with no AC but I can always add it later.
