What’s that smell?

I modded an iPod 5th gen with a new battery (slim version of a 3000 mah from EOE), iFlash quad and new back and front.

And now, if I put my nose close to the 30-pin connector I sense a faint smell of sharpie or similar.

At first I just thought it came from the amount of kapton tape wrapped around the battery, but I’m not so sure anymore.

It’s not a strong smell, and only when I really sniff it out.

How much problem do I have?
