I have the items to open my iPod Touch 5th gen, I have a new charge port to replace the old one with, is it safe to use a hair dryer to open the ipod with? And Will I need any glue or anything to put it back together?
You might need more adhesive to put it back together and yes a hair dryer should be fine. Hope this helps.
Yes But Don’t Heat One Spot Too Much Or You Have A Chance Of Melting The Insides Other Then That It Should Work.
I would definitely have a professional look at repairing the charging port on this model. Saying this is a difficult task is an understatement even for professional micro solderers. The charging port is soldered with high melt alloy to the board itself. Basically this is a $@$* repair usually not worth doing.
