Hello,
I have a quick question about an iPod mini.
I salvaged an iPod mini with a dead battery, intending to replace the battery and use it for music again.
Once I purchased a new battery and turned on the device, it began to charge and sync - however, after about 15 minutes of charging the device became very hot and the screen began to turn black. Naturally I killed power to the device.
It seems to have charged somewhat, and the battery seems to hold a charge. I can play music without the device heating up, but I don't want to risk starting a fire every time I want to use this iPod.
Is the issue a defective battery, or must the logic board be replaced? How should I best go about fixing this problem? I want to spend as little additional money as possible - I already replaced the battery and the click wheel, and I'm planning on removing the hard drive and replacing it with an SSD, so I'm already a little over budget.
Thanks!
