 FAULTY Apple iPod Mini 4GB 2nd generation Green

This apple iPod mini was working fine, except the battery would only last an hour or so
So I decided to open it up to see if I could replace the battery myself
Once I pulled out the battery connector from the IC, I noticed that the socket which it plugs into on the motherboard was moving around, i think I broke the solder joints for the battery connector by pulling on the battery cable instead of holding the ends and removing patiently ( MISTAKE 1)
When I put it back together, in installing a clip, I put a hole through the Molex cable for the click wheel (MISTAKE 2)
Nevertheless, I purchased a replacement click wheel from overseas to see if I could fix it, but the problem persisted.

I'm thinking if you solder the female battery socket back on you can get it to work. Everything else was working fine (LCD, HDD, etc...)
Or you may want to use it for parts

EITHER WAY THIS IPOD IS BEING SOLD AS FAULTY, NO EXCHANGE, NO REFUNDS, NO RETURNS, FAULTY, FAULTY FAULTY FAULTY
