Hello All.
first timer here, new to the fourm. I have an ipod 4th gen that i'm trying to fix. I would like to bypass the battery to do some troubleshooting. anyone have any tips on how to do this? I was just thinking on pluging in 3.3v from a breadboard powersupply to the battery input.
Thanks in advance to any input and tips.

I'm not very familiar with the 4th gen but from what I've seen it seems the battery is a 3 pin? Black is ground red is positive and a third white or yellow wire is presumably some type of thermistor. I would try applying gnd to black and 3.7v to red on the motherboard, check if it powers on, if it doesn't then it expects a signal on the thermistor pin coming from the battery. On most phones you can get away with pulling the thermistor pin on the motherboard to GND essentially 'emulating' a thermistor, I suspect it would work similarly on the iPod
