I tried to solder my iPod touch myself. I had everything solder, flux, wire but I didn’t have a heat gun and I accidentally ripped the battery connector from the pad. Should I throw it away or try to fix it?
Is this a good question?

It looks like you basically removed completely the battery. You could buy a new one and try to glue it or solder it again on those 3 points. There is no connector the new battery is meant to be soldered… As long as the solder pads are okey (here they seems still good), you can always re-solder a new component…

This is confusing. I thought if you ripped the pad off along with the battery the iPod was rendered useless? I ripped the pad off along with the 3 prongs. What’s left on the board is probably solder wire not the actual 3 prongs. When the pad came off, the 3 prongs were attached. I saved what was left of it, which is the little piece on the side.
Thank you responding.
