I have a ipod touch 4 that has a dead battery.
I tried to replace the battery and made sure that the contacts are not bridging... however once I solder the +, ground and negative contacts the board starts to get really hot! i immediately de-solder the battery.
Is the battery bad?
What would cause the board to heat up? thank you.
Is this a good question?

tony tony, definitely check on your soldering. It does sound like you are short circuiting something. If your work is done properly , I would suspect you have a battery with a short circuit. Replace it and see if it makes a difference.

I am getting the battery exchanged. I cleaned off the soldering and waiting for the replacement in the meantime. Thank you again.
But I still can't find the processor speed~

Alex, did you post this to the wrong question:-) ?
These are 1GHZ A4 processor underclokced to 800MHZ last time i bothered to check
Does this in any way pertain to the above question? I seem to be missing something....It looks to me like Alex comment was meant for this http://www.ifixit.com/Answers/Ask/iPhone...
