oh...

oh my god this is so far gone i can't even unscrew the screws, they're literally rusted away

hey guess who accidentally just punctured a lipo

oops...

and yeah i guess i'm ok, it's not warming up or bulging (the bulge it has now is just from prying it away from the metal tray in the ipod, that thing was stuck HARD! and the tool i was using to try prying it off is what accidentally punched a hole in it eventually)

i think the battery was far far too gone already, the ipod wouldn't even boot while plugged in https://computerfairi.es/media/3G43DsslObKfTNzFGKE

HAHAHA HOLY FUCKING SHIT I DID IT I REPLACED THE GOD FORSAKEN SOLDERED BATTERY AND DIDN'T BREAK ANYTHING

except for the digitiser glass which was already cracked beyond recognition and i'm waiting for a replacement for that too https://computerfairi.es/media/xpOpTXXMhuLz9YepB6k
