iPod Video dead

[SamWhite]

So a couple of days ago my iPhone was stolen so I picked my old iPod video from the shelf. The sound was coming only from the left earphone but I noticed that if I pushed the minijack towards the screen or pressed on the screen the right channel also worked. So I decided to put something between the jack and the screen. So I did that but after assembling the iPod back it will not either turn on or show up in iTunes. I guess the problem is with the battery connector so I got you some pictures of that. Please help me. This guy's been with me for 7 years) Would be stupid to die like this, you know. And I'm really shot of cash right now so if you know how I could fix it on my own, please tell me. Thanks in advance. Here are the pics:
