So, I got the new screen installed in the pod OK.  But after I put everything back together, the battery wouldn’t charge up.

I figured the old battery had probably died, and bought a new one.

New one wouldn’t charge either.

So I did a closer inspection and discovered that the plastic connector that attaches the battery to the motherboard had come completely loose.  Sigh.

I don’t think any home repair person can micro-solder like that.  I know I sure can’t.  So I guess now I put the pod up for sale “for parts or repair” and mention the nice bright new screen it’s got.
