access bricked nano's flash?

(1/1)

gnu:
Okay, I bricked my ipod nano by doing some soldering for a battery charger wrong, and now it's bricked. It's not able to charge anymore, and when it's connected to 5V USB power, the back of it get's really hot.
I want to exchange the nano's battery with some other 3.7V power source and then connect it to a PC, with a cable with a disconnected 5v power cable - just the data cables.
Could this work?  

saratoga:
I don't think that could be answered without knowing what you shorted out.  It might work, or it might damage the USB port you plugged it into, depending on whats broken.

gnu:
The point is, I don't know too much about electronics - otherwise I wouldn't have bricked my ipod...
Well, I've got an old computer that I can use to try if it works: it wouldn't matter if the USB port gets ruined.
That's the good thing: I can't loose anything.

HellDragon:
Never use your ipod to store important data  :(

gnu:
Couldn't you have told me this before? ;)
