DO NOT follow this video unless you pay attention to the 2 second pop-up at 5.56 min . They obviously forgot to show you how to unplug the jack ribbon,which is very important when sliding the inner out from the casing ( other videos posted on here show you how ) Also the correct way to dis-connect the screen from the connector on the main board ( 8.10 min) is not to just GENTLY PULL,but to gently flip up the black band to 45 deg which will release the ribbon from the connector.
My Ipod is an ipod nano 4th gen. 8gb and it has a white screen with a purple/blueish vertical line down the side of the screen can anyone help??? i tried resetting it but it beeps the screen goes black then Goes back to the white sreen with the line. anyone kno how to fix it??? Wen i reset it the apple logo NEVER appears PLEASE HELP!!!
Does anybody know if this is the same process you would use to replace the screen for a 4th gen Nano? I haven't been able to find any useful info online about opening the Nano 4's.
Hey, this has been very helpful. I'm putting the screws to my iPod right now, and the little pictograms I was looking at don't really convey the motion of pulling this thing apart. So thank you for that.
if u got a wire that plugs in a computer plug it in , then plug the other side to the ipod, then wait two hours, u got it charged up. I SWARE THATS FOR BEGINNERS
Nice Job, man You've got guts. Allow me to rant, though. Why does it have to be so (darn) difficult to open it, not neccicarily for replaceing the screen. What If I'm just trying to replace the batteries??? On older ones you could just pop the back off and disconnect the batteries and replace them and barely have to even TOUCH the board. :(
it's supposed to be hard, apple wants to keep their stuff top secret, that's why a bunch of other companies went their own way, the couldn't copy, might i reming u that of the computer companies we still have, apple came along first, guided by steve jobs
Thank you, i just rescued mine with your description! :)

EBAY! I paid $3... less than that if you order from a it from a seller in asia (china)
Chinese stuff is always MUCH cheaper than American but the shipping from asia to US is sloooooooow.
