To elaborate on my previous comment: &nbsp;Clip some leads from the old battery to the board to see if that still charges. &nbsp;If it does, then your new battery is bad. &nbsp;If your old battery doesn't charge, then maybe it's the charging circuit.<br />

It might be simpler to remove the battery to make it lighter and get one of those external case batteries. &nbsp;That way they're replaceable and you don't have to keep soldering new batteries when the old ones die.

I have replaced the LCD screen and the battery on a Ipod touch 4th gen following DIY guides and videos. The soldering was difficult, but seemingly successful.<br />
<br />
Afterwards the device works with one exception: While the battery indicator shows the 'bolt' charging symbol when plugged into AC, the battery does not actually charge (battery level not increasing after 12 hours plugged in). &nbsp;I have tried more than one charger and verified that the charger is working with other devices. The charge connector seems ok.<br />
<br />
What could be wrong, and what could be done to rectify?
