Cooked the battery???
Hello everyone, just wanting to look around and see what people think about my situation and if it helps anyone else.
So my headphone jack refused to play out of the right side so I replaced it but kept the battery the same (I bought the device second hand). Now granted this battery is old but the battery was working and in good enough condition as I had just been raw dogging it with one working side. However for whatever reason re seating the cable was so difficult and as a such I resorted to using tweasers instead of my sausage fingers. It was still being difficult and then I noticed some sparks fly off like a damn jjk black flash.
From there for a brief moment I smelt a burning smell for a couple seconds before it went away. However my fears seem to be confirmed as now I get that oh so annoying dead battery screen where the iPod wont boot. Any ideas for fixing and weather or not getting a new battery will even fix this issue or did I potentially damage something else? Because my next logical step is to buy a new battery and probably a big 3000mAh one because if I am going to upgrade may as well make it worth it. But, what I do not want to do is act prematurely as if it was the cause of my headphone jack being bad then I do not want to buy a new expensive battery and put it in frying that battery too?]
Let me know what you guys think and feel free to ask me any questions! Thanks in advance T_T
The headphone jack is brand new and off Aliexpress. If it helps I also have an iFlash Solo SD card in there. The tweasers I was using are metal and its a normal 5th Gen Video A1136.
