[bigjallday1]

My iPod Touch 1G screen flashes on and off every 4-5 minutes, and over night, it will kill the battery. Everything works fine, however, it will just keep flashing. Do you know what could be the cause of this?

[THEGOLDAETOS]

Are you guys trusted and inf so where can i read some reviews so i know your legit? I need my itouch fixed =(

[pdaparts]

@THEGOLDAETOS Goto the webpage at DirectFix com and on the left under Company info then Corporate News read the many articles written about us in Wall Street Journal, NY Time, etc. The list is long since we have been in business for 10+ years.

[SvddenDeth]

[pdaparts]

@SvddenDeth The prices for all the repairs we do are listed under the Repair Service tab on our webpage at DirectFix com.

[toxiclty]

Does removing the back piece void the warranty?

[pdaparts]

@toxiclty Opening any apple product would void the warranty but also note that when you drop and break the iPod it is not covered under warranty anyways.

[3281marco]

Cant we just send it to u guys, and u guys fix it?

[pdaparts]

@3281marco No problem. Just check our pricing on the webpage under the repair section at DirectFix com

[KHammettFan]

I am going through the tutorial now and I am stuck at the part where you take the 16 screws off. Does the green board pry off or what? Your video seems to have skipped the part where you remove that to get to the other two screws :/

[pdaparts]

@KHammettFan Not 100% sure what you are asking but email us via our webpage and someone can help you. Also remember that when we make these videos it is when the unit first comes out Apple has been known to change things on them as time goes on.

[Paddiwak1995]

if i try this with a cracked screen will it just fall apart when i take the back off?

[pdaparts]

@Paddiwak1995 Not sure what you are asking. You can remove a cracked screen from the iPod Touch.

[OfficalBlueMacaw]

Sleep/Wake button (if not power button)

[der510]

i need to bored that goes one the top of the ipod i broke the little tab on it and now my power button dose not work what is that piece called so i can buy a new one

[MrAet97]

[pdaparts]

@MrAet97 They are not cross compatible.

[Marvellousxxx]

great tutorial.... will attempt a repair with your guide. thanks

[SuperDeerhunter007]

[pdaparts]

[wavesoftang77]

Okay, so I have a pre-paided card, visa, can I use that for the website? Or no?

[pdaparts]

@wavesoftang77 Yes you can.

[Arp3198]

@pdaparts can you remove the ipod touch 2g back and put a iphone back on it?

[pdaparts]

@Arp3198 no u can not.

[calistagreen]

why would some one want to take there ipod touch apart. after they spent all that money on it.. makes no scence

[pdaparts]

@calistagreen Lets see. If you break it and want to fix it yourself and save a bunch of money. I think that is a good reason to open it up and fix it.

[buckethead10Alex]

@calistagreen um maybe cuz they broke it and apple will charge them a fuck load of money to replace it... so they fix it them selves -.-

[thefuzz97]

@calistagreen Because they want to fix it, dumbfuck.

[ashkiller713]

@calistagreen maybe to fix it dumb ass

[littlelarry33]

My screen works fully but there is no backlight, would an lcd and digitizer fix this?

[pdaparts]

@littlelarry33 The LCD is the part that handles the backlight.

[littlelarry33]

@pdaparts Thank you, I will definitely attempt this repair, the shop told me I had corrosion on the digitizer and that was all and they quoted $200 which is ridiculous.

[Flamed440]

if i have a first gen ipod can i put a third gen screen on it?

[pdaparts]

@Flamed440 No you can not.

[Gang1955]

@Flamed440 what an idiot

[NickNicolaou2129]

Do you think it will be be possible to install a camera??

[pdaparts]

@NickNicolaou2129 It is NOT possible.

[140661834]

Yes it is.

[Rhythm58]

My screen looks just fine but the touch function is messed up. It works sometimes and in some areas but there are a few consistant areas that do not work like the volume control etc. Can I fixed this as well? What would I need?

[pdaparts]

It sounds like you have a bad Touch Panel. Touch Panels are also known as Digitizers. We have them available at DirectFix com

i want to know if i have water damage to my ipod touch if i can take it apart and let it dry?

[pdaparts]

Yes you can take it apart and dry it but even after you do that there is a good chance it will still have issues. Most of the time water damage causes multiple issues in a unit.

[plm123456123]

Do u guys know if u can replace the lithium ion battery for the ipod touch 2g?

[pdaparts]

Yes the battery can be replaced.

[RockinThaSoLows]

MY screen is scraches and such on my 2nd grneration, i was it to look better shoudl i try to fill the scratches or put on a new screen? Thanks!

[pdaparts]

There is no good way to fill it. You will need a new digitizer aka touch panel from DirectFix com

[miggylangelo54]

my screen is broken, just the screen, the touch part still works and i can see everything, the screen is just broken, what do i need to do?

[pdaparts]

From the description you wrote it sounds like you need Part# IP-2153 at DirectFix com

[sickside187]

how do i fix the screen led lights from my itouch 1st gen do i need to buy a new screen???

[pdaparts]

I think you are referring to the LCD which is the image on the screen? If that is correct and the touch panel is not broken look at DirectFix(dot)com Part# IP-2159

[smokinpoolshark420]

My 1st gen touch screen is malfunctioning. Everything else about the ipod works fine but after 2 seconds on it being on, the touch function goes completely unresponsive. Do you think I need a new digitizer? Great how-to btw!

[pdaparts]

My guess from your description is that it need a digitizers Part # IP-2153 at DirectFix(dot)com

[smokinpoolshark420]

Thanks!

[killahkaii]

my screen is shattered for my i pod touch and it is missing parts but it still works. LOL guess im luck.. but im still using this vidio to replace my screen.. any tips?

[itmemoe]

can you replace an iphones lcd screen with ipods lcd

[pdaparts]

The simple answer is no.

[sinatrafanbigtime]

What are the chances of dust accumulating within the iPod if I fix it myself? Will it be more prone to collecting dust after I repair it? Thanks for the video!

[pdaparts]

Dust collecting might happen either way. iPod, iPhone and even cell phones can collect dust. It will not happen any more or any less if you fix it.

[268854268854]

if i open my ipod the same way you did, will it still close??

[pdaparts]

If you have the correct tools, follow the directions correctly then yes it will open and close fine.

[voylesjake]

Which generation Ipod touch is this?

[pdaparts]

Gen 1 or the first generation. When we made the video there was only 1 ipod touch at that time.

[cuteulala1]

@voylesjake

like duh on video discription iPod Touch >>>Gen 1<<< Screen Replacement

lol

[drummerkid1993]

@voylesjake 1st gen.

[Themonkeyman50001]

@voylesjake It's a first generation.

[UltimateVideoRater]

@voylesjake porbably 1st gen because it has a plastic black back cover and this video is from '08

[epumer]

do you send the ipod parts worldwide? how much does it costs?

[pdaparts]

We ship to about 45 countries around the world. Take a look at PDAparts(dot)com

[holas90]

if my screen is broken do i have to get the iPod Touch (iTouch) Replacement LCD Screen and iPod Touch (iTouch) Replacement Digitizer aka Touch Panel or just one of them

[pdaparts]

That depends on what broke. If you just cracked the top glass and the image under it looks perfect then you just need the digitizer. If the top digitizer/glass broke and the lcd or image under it is damaged then you will need both the LCD and digitizer.

[jaimalibu]

how much on both would the replacement be?? i think thats what i might need

[pdaparts]

All parts and prices are available at DirectFix(dot)com

[hank1985078]

Hi!

I would like to change the back cover of my Ipod Touch and I wanted to know if the plastic party (for the wifi) came out of the back cover?

[pdaparts]

We carry new back covers for the iPod Touch at PDAparts(dot)com

[kart12]

Yes, I saw the Itouch Back Aluminum Case on your website but there is no plastic party above to the right can we put the plastic party of the old back cover ?

[pdaparts]

Black Wifi Cover. Honestly I can not remember if that comes off or not. It has been a while since we shot this video.

[putasensura]

[pdaparts]

[charleslogitech]

hey, mine ipod got wet, the screen got a smudge in it.

can u help me.

with what can i open mine ipod besides that thing??? help plz

[pdaparts]

Most of the time a wet ipod will cost more than getting a new one and if you can fix them they do not always seem to work so good after. just my 2 cents.

[ipodtouchacker]

kool, thx man. i just ordered one, i really appreciate it

[XxXdeadRISExXx]

can i use a razorblade instead?

[pdaparts]

dont do that you will mess it up and scratch it very bad. We have the case opener tool for $5 at pdaparts(dot)com
