Introduction
The button ribbon cable connects the power/sleep button, volume buttons, LED flash, light sensor, and microphone to the logic board. If any one of these components failfails, you'll have to replace the entire cable. Use this guide to do just that.
'''Note: The pictures in this guide show a 5th generation iPod Touch. The 7th generation has some superficial differences, but follows the same repair procedure.'''

This procedure involves removing the battery, which may be damaged during the removal process. Replacing it is quite difficult and requires soldering, '''so take care and heed all warnings during battery removal'''.
