I replaced the battery in my iPod touch. Before reassembling it, I made sure it turned on and everything was fine. When I reassemble it, there is no power and it says the battery is dead.
Every time I tear it down it powers on, as soon as I put the security plate on, it shuts off and says dead battery

It turns out it was the home buttons ribbon cable. I'm not entirely sure what exactly was happening, but when I closed the aluminum plate while the ribbon cable was pulled through it, the whole iPod would cease functioning. I cut a little strip off the plate for the ribbon cable to sit freely, and it works perfectly normal once again :)
Thanks for all the replies and help!

Hi
It sounds like you might have a issue with the solder joints on the battery
Here’s what to check
Make sure that the battery’s cable is as flat to the board as possible,make sure all 3 pads are solid and aren’t coming off easily…I would pay close attention to the middle one as that one has a lot todo with charging the device
And last I would check that you have insulation over the contacts for the cable to make sure nothing is shorting out:-)
After that it could be a bad battery
Hopefully this helps
Any questions please ask
Thanks:-)

Greetings, I had this problem.
Basically It has to do with the middle pad on the battery, It plays the role as the current charge signal. (So it can tell what % the battery is at)
@hellomacos Can help you I bet!

I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean by middle pad. Do you mean the centre solder of the three connections? I don't see a pad anywhere 😅
@levikwiatkowski - No it's my fault!
I should have been more clear!
I'm terribly sorry, but I still don't follow.
Is there something I can do, or do I need to replace something ?
Thanks for tagging me in!
