Hi :)
I'm a new member so I apologieze if I write in wrong section :)
I've got some problems with my IPod :(
Last time when I want to open it I crashed tape connecting some small pcb with bigger pcb :)
I show my situation in 2 pictures above:

What shall I do to repair my ipod :?:
 

That "tape" is a flexible interconnect between the circuit boards made of polyimide film with copper traces, sometimes called a flex jumper. It serves the same function as a ribbon cable but is thinner. If you can get a replacement from Apple and the solder connections at the ends are not too deviously concealed and you have the skill, it may be possible to repair, but I think all this is unlikely.

I did a hero repair on a Nano once where some of the copper traces had been eroded away by sweat. It worked but didn't hold up for long. ;-)
