How to replace the charging port on iPod touch
How do I replace the charging port on an ipod touch? The cord was accidentally yanked out and broke a couple prongs inside the ipod. So it will no longer charge or connect to PC.

On the 2nd generation, the dock connector is solder to the board. Check on the guide Installing iPod Touch 2nd Generation Logic Board page 5 shows the dock connector. So you have to remove the logic board and then remove the dock connector by de-soldering it as well as the 2 prongs on the side that hold it on the logic board. Not a terrible job but it does require a steady hand, good eyes (or a magnifying lamp in my case)and good tools. Good luck and let us know how it is going.
Which iPod touch do you have? Depending on the generation of iPod that you have, it does make a difference.

Liam McGowan,
yea so it needs a replacement logic board basicly? is it possible to use the part from a 1st gen nano?
Liam McGowan,
I don't know I have the 4th Generations and it will only charge standing up on my I home with force. So it is very hard to get apps. I am going to look on apple.com! :)
