Absolutely insane repair, but i managed it somewhat in the end. Ripped cable of the battery twice. Ripped the cable to switch and buzzer. Removed the Buzzer/Switch cable altogether and used fine isolated wire to run from battery to PCB.

Looks frankenstein at the end, but plays again.

I found re-inserting the pcb with battery impossible. With the two wires (no more battery protection board, who needs that ?), it is much easier to re-insert the battery and PCB into the case.

Definitely my last Apple product ;-)

Hallo, es ist auch mit 99% Warscheinlichkeit der defekte 5V-Schaltregler-Chip MXT2410. Sag bescheid, wenn du einen Chip brauchst oder Hilfe beim Löten. ->ifixit@e-mail.de

Gerne Kontaktaufnahme über ifixit@e-mail.de Gruß Thomas

Note to the marked resistors:

I initially could not find MXT chip, and thought I was smart and replace with an ACT4060 from Corvo, but that was not stable and blew up on me. For that wrong fix, I had to modify the feedback resistor divider. That is NOT necessary when just replacing MXT2410.

Sorry !

I always bought from this seller:

https://www.ebay.de/str/adeleparts2010
Very good and fast.

On eBay there is a seller "adeleparts2010" which is very reliably sending replacement parts from China. No problems had whatsoever.

I thought I was smart by using ACT4060 as replacement of MXT, but it did not work, and blew up on me, so I wrote that it is not good replacement !

Better buy MXT2410 original from China, 10pcs for around 10Dollars, it works perfect.

The strain in the middle besides the coil and the capacitor is just glue to keep the cable in place.

Look for other damage like blown up capacitor.

Sicher kann ich es probieren, allerdings hab ich nur den Alternativchip hier noch irgendwo, der MXT müßte erst bestellt werden.

Alles ohne Garantie ;-)

Kannst es schicken oder vorbeibringen. Westendstraße nähe OBI. Genaueres müßte ich eine PM schreiben.
