Restoring A Broken iPod
Here’s my 5 years old iPod. I accidentally dropped it and cracked the LCD. Luckily the rest was okay but it looks totally zombified and sad!
If you take this to Apple, they’ll rip your balls off. (Around 250 bucks?)
I love their products but I’m not going waste on that.
There’s not much to prepare, if you’re going to do it yourself.
- Opening tools. (Maybe its just me but opening an iPod is like digging a concrete floor…)
- An antistatic mat.
- An official and genuine LCD screen.
There’s plenty of tutorials to follow so I’m not going to that part.

I think it’s amazing that you kept your iPod for over five years. I have friends who started with the Mini, and continued to sell their iPod in exchange for the newer kinds. If it’s still good and can be fixed if they have a problem like yours, why not? My first Apple product was an iPhone. I still have it now, and I got it in January last year. I’m hoping it’ll last for a long time to come. The earphones have worn out but I’m not willing to spend the $40 on new ones.
You have a good taste.
