He severed the flexicable that is right next to the battery. Talk to his manager and demand it be repaired by a real certified tech instead if some kid at the mall kiosk. If that gets you no where call the techs at Atlanta Cell Tech at 404-831-0399 and ask them about scheduling a repair.

I myself just completed the same task that you've asked about and its not a job for the faint hearted. If you want to give it a go you'll need a new volume/on-off flex about £6 off ebay. You will also need the plastic tools to open your ipod complete with the sucker, a heat gun, a soldering iron, solder, solder mop and a very small philips screwdriver. I would recommend de-soldering the battery before going any further to help prevent you shorting your ipod. After that you'll need to completely strip the ipod down (i.e circuit board, battery and both camera's out).

it's really not a good answer. Anything else you might want to add to it, something that is more productive?
