Hello,
I was attempting to de-solder the battery from an ipod touch 4th gen., sadly I stripped the solder pad for the thermistor pin. Power and ground pins are fine. I am wondering if the ipod will work without the temperature sensor pin connected, and if not, how can I repair the trace, I was thinking silver conductive glue. Any advice or suggestions appreciated
thank you for your time
Is this a good question?

matt prior, you are not the first person that this happens to. Here is my answer from a very similar question:" If the pad has been completely ripped off the board, the only options would be:
1) Find the trace the pad normally connects to, scrape off some lacquer and re-attach to a new point. or 2) Replace the whole board. You should be okay with attaching the cable to the race or the next point where the trace leads to. You need a good magnifying lamp, a steady hand and good equipment. You should also check on here Anyway to reattach solder pads? " This is from here. Check this link for all the questions/answers about solder pad repair. No, it will not work properly unless it is all connected the way it is supposed to. Hope this helps, good luck.
