| - | [* icon_note] The battery on the fourth generation Touch is attached via solder pads with small holes that go through the battery ribbon cable and attach to flat pads on the face of the logic board. In this step, you will heat each solder pad individually until it melts, then apply a drop of solder to the pad. |

| + | [* black] Desolder the battery and power/volume pads from the logic board. |
| + | [* icon_caution] Beware of overheating the board and the cable. Only hold the tip of the iron against the pad long enough to let the solder melt. Excess heat buildup has the potential to ruin the logic board or melt the ribbon cable. |
| + | [* icon_caution] DO NOT bridge the connection between the solder pads both on the board and on the ribbon cable with your solder. Shorts have the potential to ruin the logic board. |
