If it breaks put the cable in the slot and then

push the brown holder in place to keep the

cable from slipping out.

Is it the best way to solve this incident??

Tsutomu Niimi, if the connector broke of the logic board, there are only two solutions. One is to get another connector from an old logic board and have somebody knowledgeable with SMD components solder it on. The only other way is to replace the logic board. UPDATE

If the brown part is off the white part, you can try and replace the clip with an old one from a spare board. If the white one is off the board with the pins sticking out, you can try and slide the white plastic back over it and use some glue to glue the plastic onto the board. If the pins are bend or dislodged you will have to get a new one soldered onto the board.

Thank you, Mr.oldturkey03.

I tryed to push brown connector, and it seemed to be sucessful. Battery cable was

fixed comletely!!!!!

I started up the iPod and the apple logo appeared!!

Shortly after, a screen saying "Connect to your Computer. Use iTunes to Restore." in about 5 different languages.

I connected it to my computer, then a message in iTunes showed up saying "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes."

I then clicked Restore and entered in my Administrator name and password.

Shortly after that, an alert popped up saying "The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1416)."

What happend?????

It is possible that you are having further logic board issues and/or hard drive issues. What happened to the iPod before you changed the battery? I think the 1416 error is an initialize error. I would try to either put the ipod in diagnostic mode and see what it tells you, or run it in disk mode and see if you can access the HDD and definitely try to save all your files. Hold down the menu and the center button until the apple sign appears, then as soon as quickly as you can hold the center button and the play button down. When the disk symbol shows up in the middle of the ipod, hook it up to your computer. you are now in disk mode and see if you can access the drive. Try to reformat but remember that you will lose your files. Good Luck

Ok, here my contribution.

After getting the message "Please Wait -Very Low Battery." I wanted to replace the battery of my iPod Video 5th 30GB, I broke the battery "brown connector" (it was already damaged, hence the message). It was completely ripped off of the PCB, the motherboard, including the solder paths! I could see some very small cupper dots. From these points I started with a multimeter with the Beeping (continuity test) function to trace the paths of the connections, since I couldn't find any diagram schematics on the internet. There are 5 pins, I labeled them for myself by numbers (1,2,3,4 and 5). By measuring I found that there are actually only 3 "main" pins, 1-2, 3 and 4-5. I soldered these points to the battery connector and hot glued it back to the PCB. And now it's working!

I am so glade I found your post. I had the same problem and worse rip and could not find the schematic. The rip is so bad that I can't figure out how the trace goes. I have exactly the same model and now I can use your info. Thanks a lot!!!

BTW, the post was from 2018. I am glad to find people still using this 15-year-old electronic and even trying to fix it! You're the man!

Thanks alot Nelson! You fixed yours already?

@Wolfson. Great detective work my Man :) I ripped one pin of the battery connector from the board and so I appreciate you tracing out where the pins go to as I may be able to superglue that one pin to the board and run a fine magnet wire to where you kindly showed me it goes. I will give it a try over the Christmas holidays and report back with my progress good or bad. We appreciate the time that you took to do this and them thoroughly document it so well complete with many photos. You are a good Ifixit member Image hear seeing as I cannot see how to upload images here https://imgur.com/a/ruxWgtt

Thanks again @Wolfson I managed to run a jumper after removing the battery connector and resoldering it to the PCB. Worked like a charm as the two that were ripped off the board were both ground connections Image of repair here and I owe you a beer :) https://imgur.com/yNCu5Hv

GND jumper wire connecting two pins and then to GND of IC on other side of board

GND pin on IC on other side of board

I found new battery sockets here and I am pretty sure that it’s the same as this 5th Gen Ipod. (if this link goes dead just search for iPod 5th gen battery connector on FleaBay) https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/iPod-Video-C...

If the brown hold down is broke, I cut a small piece of notebook paper that would fit into the connector and slide the ribbon on top of it, make sure the ribbon is all the way in.

Hey I don't know if you still need an answer but i've managed to fix my Ipod Video with the same problem. I did it the cheap way and with Super Glue!

Basically I broke the retention clip off the LCD connector which is on the logic board.

I found that I needed the LCD display to be on in order for Itunes to successfully detect my IPOD, and use it (obviously).

Because the retention clip is missing, it means you can push the ribbon cable all the way "through" the connector and it won't get contact with the pins on the logic board, this is why with mine when you push the ribbon half way into the connector it'll light up, but then when you push it all the way through it goes black again.

What I did was, and it's incredibly easy, is push the ribbon cable into the connector with the missing retention clip, hold it in place so the screen lights up, and applied superglue to the connector and edges of the cable, and it worked fine. I did this while my ipod was on and connected to a computer. I didn't really care if I stuffed my ipod completely though.

Can post photos showing it going/ with the cover off and missing retention clip if needed.

Will, I've had the same retention clip problem with the hard drive . I would love to view a picture of the solution you used.

Hey Rick,

My Ipod died yesterday, I re-opened it and found the Super Glue I had used pretty much melted part of the ribbon cable and stripped away some of the small semi-conductor type things on the Ipod.

In Hindsight what I would have done, and to be honest have no idea why I didn't, is use a hot glue gun to keep the Ribbon cable on the Logic board and the pins aligned with the connector. You would probably have to do this while the ipod was on and showing the GUI screen (where you pick your songs etc..) as what you might find it you glue it in place, turn it on, and have the White screen of death

So it turned out to be not such a great repair, but a good temporary fix?
