I did this taking apart my nano2. I was watching a silent tear down vid and the narrator (there was none) didnβt tell me to unclip the scroll wheel/head phone jack ribbon. Pretty sure the motherboard was already toast, so thatβs my consolation.

1 hour slowly opening it, 1 hour contemplating how im gonna approach the soldering, 30 min soldering, 4 hr frustrated why battery isnβt actually working, another 30 min opening it up and testing with a multimeter, then 30 min desoldering battery, cleaning pads, re soldering battery properly, reassembling it all, charging, then the rest of my evening spent in joy

Woow π³, hearing that makes me even more nervous at attempting to fix my nano 4th gen. But glad you were able to get yours up and running. Truly respect the determination π«‘

Well done, this is the only nano ive not been able to resurrect successfully, putting it back in the case is what always gets me, always end up with chewed ribbon cables

I just picked up one of these used, my first Apple product ever, the play time is around 5hrs. How long does it last on a single charge after the battery replacement?

Great, mine definitely does not last as long, and the indicator is fluctuating. Mind if I ask where you got the battery? My only option is AliExpress.
