what if i did everything but now the sleep and home button wont work? ive been working with it for hours and its driving me mad! the home button will make the little click noise when i use the tip of my nail but if i try to use the button it wont press. and the sleep button doesnt work at all.
I replaced the screen, it was fun! I accidentely damaged cable which is i think connecting volume and power buttton to the mainboard, so i guess i buy one on ebay and replace it also. I'd loved to see video of this quality about replacing that cable.
I stupidly watched another video that didnt mention 5:25. Ive pulled the connector off the mainboard that does the headphone jack. Does anyone know a fix for this?
Had 2 iPods to repair. The first one, a 8GB is working again.. Had problems fixing the second one, a 32GB. Which had a much stronger adhesive holding the thing together.
The power button isn't working anymore, what could've gone wrong? I've looked but I can't see anything that has been ripped on first inspectation. Can't really get a good look under the mainboard though. Any thoughts. Where to check for damages?
Thanks for the great video. Although i messed up and accidently broke the blue wire to the loud speaker. Looks like many people have made this mistake but no fixes . Any idea on how to fix this. I know it needs to be soldered But its on the underside. Thanks for any help , Milton
So it fell off the table mid-repair. The top of skinny part of the logic board is separate from the bottom, the screen doesn't turn on, the logic board comes up from the housing very far, and the copper tape is ripped off the rear camera. That's all I the damage I can find. Why isn't my screen turning on? There was a cable on the back, top part of the logic board disconnected, but I put it back in. I don't need the camera or speakers, but can I save the logic board or to get it to turn back on?
hey i tried what you did with the same knife you used and i rip the midframe on my ipod touch 4th gen and i was wondering how much do you charge me to fix the ipod touch 4th gen midframe.. the midframe is the lil black thing that snaps the ipod touch screen into place.. PLEASE contact me as soon as possible
Yes, that is what I ripped off. IIt's unclear what cerealandtoast is talking about.I suggest that you watch other videos to see how they handled that piece. I don't know if my ipod works because I ordered a kit with just the clear glass and I have to wait and see after they ship the missing LCD panel before I know. Sorry I could be of more help.
@nicole33455 Further down in the comments we do address this, you may need to do a hard reset by holding the Home Button and Power/Sleep button at the same time for 10 seconds. The device will turn off and then on again shortly thereafter. If that does not work, then hook it up to your computer and do a restore via iTunes. This will erase your data that is not backed-up. Either one of those should help.
My touch 4g screen is unresponsive.. This started happening after i wanted to clean the dust from under the screen.. at 1st only some of the screen stopped working.. now its completely done for..do i need a new digitizer? or am i going to have to replace the entire screen?
I fixed my iPod but it wouldn't turn on so I connected it to iTunes and now it's playing music and voice control. The screen is completely black how do I fix it?
I tried to do this and it seemed to work perfectly but now my new screen is all pink and white when turned on with stripes going all over it. What did I do wrong?
I realised that I must have ripped that important ribbon cable, the one you're supposed to be extra careful with when you take the metal plate off. Ahh well :(
@cerealandtoast We sell flex cable for the Touch 4th generation for $24.99. We can install the part on your device for a charge of $25.00 Please visit our website for more information
@rembertervin247 You would need to first remove the screw at the top next to the camera, then remove the screw for the wi-fi ribbon cable. Finally you will need to detach the ribbon cable for the front facing camera. Once done, there is about 2 more inches of room that opens up so you can get eyes on the connection. but you must be very careful, as you will be bending the logic board and it very well may break if bent too much. Plus to reattach the camera cable is difficult
@cerealandtoast make sure your metal shield (mid-plate) is not off center. There is a lip near the LCD port that could stop you from seating the cable, a little push with a spudger (plastic tool) should do it for you.
If the volume cable/ribbon on the top left hand side rips due to the adhesive does it affect the ipod itself or just no sound? Also is there a replacement/fix for that? Thanks!
@kazumatheshellbulet5 It means that your iPod's power and / or volume buttons will no longer function. We do have the cable itself for sale if you would like to replace it, otherwise we can do the work for you. More info is available on our website.
do u have any suggestions on fitting the screen on? its not "flush" its actually popping out on top... bottom fits fine.. the gap is pretty big, i can fit a toothpick across it... help?
new screen works fine! just doesn't wanna fit in its case!
After the shield is removed there is a black part with a red and blue cable. The black part is on my shield.My blue wire disconnected what should i do?
@MrSlamhappy That is your loudspeaker. The blue wire is neg and the red wire is pos. If you replace the loudspeaker, you should be fine. The adhesive Apple uses when manufacturing the devices seems to be getting "stronger". We sell the loudspeaker for $19.99 (currently) and can install it for you for $25.00, though generally you just need to remove the rest of the logic board and battery; then you can get access to the area that needs to be soldered.
@SilenceTearz It seems like when you took off the home button from the old broken LCD, you removed the adhesive. You can put some glue on the robber edges and that should work with you
.@cheetashock If you don't have experience, you will end cutting the power ribbon cable, and sometimes break the LCD ribbon cables. There are some professional on eBay, they do all that job for $40 including the LCD, labor and shipping back. I tried to install the LCD myself and ended up breaking the power ribbon cable. After that I sent my iPod to those guys and they did a fantastic job and send the iPod back in the same day they received it. Try it: eBay item # 290641551415
If it holds down the shiny plate piece , dont worry too much. The problem is that I havent seen mention of the FACT that all the screws are NOT the same length. There are 6 diff screw lengths in the Ipod.
PLEASE HELP!!!!.... i put everything as said but it just wont turn on wen i test it, wat could i have done to it so it wouldnt turn on? :/ its not even my ipod i reallyyyy dont know wat to do
What is the copper sheet on the bottom of the metal shield shown at 5:47? It is connected to the motherboard and you seem to tear it free when you take the the shield off. All of the instructional videos ive seen dont discuss this item and everyone seems to tear it apart.
@WorldlySurvivor The copper is used to aid in cooling the iPod. The copper is used on either side of the battery. It is attached to the backplate underneath the battery, with a small "heat sink" (made of some poly material). On the top side of the battery, where you are working, it is used to simply help cool the battery. If you cut it, as shown in the video, you still retain the copper. You'll probably want to keep the copper and reuse it. Hope this helps, thanks for viewing
repaired two ipods with this fantastic video, howver an important omission is the fact that u need to start by pressing in the upper part of the screen and then clip in the bottom, did the inverse and it broke the screen in 2 in the very final step of the replacement... Anyways good luck to all u watching this!

Be careful if you are trying to replace digitizer only (touch screen) this video doesn't show you how to do it and you will probably break the lcd screen while removing the digitizer. I broke mine cause I didn't know that lcd and digitizer are stick together, its a pain in the butt to remove lcd screen from digitizer. I think the best thing to do if you want to replace either the lcd or digitizer would be: buy the whole thing (lcd and digitizer together) that would save you a lot of trouble
I have a question my iPod screen broke like the video the black strip that controls the iPod broke so I need a new screen how much would that cost also with the parts sent me the answers at rogeliojrfavila@hotmail.com
How much would you charge for a new digitizer and lcd repair? Because on your website it says $25 plus extra for parts. Please respond because I don't want to fix it myself XD
OR -------->> Put masking tape all of the iPod instead of the color thing, and the circled-square in the home button, and then spray paint it. There you have a new iPod touch color. Fancy, huh? Also make sure that the paint is the same time as the regular iPod touches, or your iPods will feel weird. :)
today... I cracked my iPod's screen accidentally, because a girl started to hit me, DAMN, I stepped back and it fell to the floor, my mom is totally mad at me... oh god, this stuff only happens to me, GEEZ !
I am in need of a new iPod Touch 4G logic board shield plate aka the metal plate secured down by 8 screws that covers the battery. I didn't see it listed on your website. Could you please tell me where I can get one?
Where do I get that specific tool... The silver one he uses in the beginning to remove the broken screen? I order some tools off of amazon. But it was some blue tool and it's not sharp or flat enough for me to remove my screen. The blue tool they sent me isn't working???? Help!!!!!
I am trying to "pimp" my iPod 4G. So, I have a White iPod Touch 4G Front plate will it be compatible with my black iPod 4G So i can change the home button?
very excellent disassembly, and even includes the reassemble to keep your parts on track without writing a steps sheet every time. one note I would add would be, when separating the back plate (the one with 8 screws) form the motherboard, use a quick blast from a heat gun to help it separate from board without ripping cables as some have mentioned here, and the biggest thing to do for successful rebuilds is to TAKE YOUR TIME!!!!! best of luck to you all!
i want to change the broken screen of my black ipod for a new white screen but in your page ive seen that the white screen have a little circle in the top right corner what is that?
@edming27 That image is a stock image, we will update that image as soon as possible. Thank you for pointing that out. The screens we sell in the white color will look just like your original screen. There will be no black dot in the upper corner.
Hey my ipod has these thin boxes around everything that you touch once, you tap it twice to actually touch the button, i dont know whether this is a setting that is doing this, or a bug or something, i reset the ipod by holding the home button and the lock buttton, but the boxes still appeared around everything when you tuch it..... basically nothing changed; can anybody help or know anything about this setting, or what i can do to mabe reset it so the boxes go away?
just like someoneelse said, i made the same mistake. near the homebutton, the blakc part was stuck and it ripped my blue cable. what does the blue cable do?
will u guys fix my ipod 4g with a broken screen missing wifi antenna and only one part of the screen stoped to work were it says music mail and safari for only 25$
the problem with my iPod touch is that the LCD screen is broken it looks like one of those screens that when you throw a phone and it looks weird. also the tip of my headphone broke off and its not coming off. if you guys got any videos or websites on how to fix them send me them because so far youtube is not helping me out
I finally got my parts from China. I had already taken the screen off...so i followed the video from that point. I FOLLOWED this video exactly how it shows! EXACTLY. i went slowly and took extra care. I'm glad i did b/c there are lost of little things i could have screwed up. Anyways, I did it all and put it all back together, and it works....PERFECTLY. Thanks to the posters of this video.
EVERYONE! When you remove the screen be careful with the black box at the top right corner of the ipod (where a red and a blue cable is attached). It usually sticks to the screen and you might snap one of the cables.
Like this post so noone has to make the same mistake as me -.-'
Guys I did the same as you did but,... There is a squaer looking ribbon on the back of the metal plate and the guy on the video break it when pulling the metal plate, my problem now is that when I touch the glass it miss colors but they come back,.. Do u have any idea what it could be??? Please let me know
i did exactly what ur video said..i guess mine was glued better..when i pryed up on the shield that held in the battery..those 2 little things next to the logic board covered in black tape came with the cover..and broke the cable..can you guys fix this?? if i send it to you?
for all the dumb asses out there who r willing to try this i suggest u dnt cuz if u damage ur iPod apple will not replace it & u will be screwed so i suggest u all dont be cheap & just send it in to get fixed u never kno apple might just send back a new one like they did for me! & i kno u all are thinking like well u must had a had a warrenty or something well i didnt! my warrenty had been up for a year so wat Im saying is just be smart and think can i really do this & the answer is no! u can't

How much would you charge for a new digitizer and lcd repair? Because on your website it says $25 plus extra for parts. Please respond because I don't want to fix it myself XD

OR -------->> Put masking tape all of the iPod instead of the color thing, and the circled-square in the home button, and then spray paint it. There you have a new iPod touch color. Fancy, huh? Also make sure that the paint is the same time as the regular iPod touches, or your iPods will feel weird. :)

I think you forget to put the front top hook which was attached to the old screen. This hook might hold the iPod screen tight to the main frame.

very excellent disassembly, and even includes the reassemble to keep your parts on track without writing a steps sheet every time. one note I would add would be, when separating the back plate (the one with 8 screws) form the motherboard, use a quick blast from a heat gun to help it separate from board without ripping cables as some have mentioned here, and the biggest thing to do for successful rebuilds is to TAKE YOUR TIME!!!!! best of luck to you all!

@edming27 That image is a stock image, we will update that image as soon as possible. Thank you for pointing that out. The screens we sell in the white color will look just like your original screen. There will be no black dot in the upper corner.

Hey my ipod has these thin boxes around everything that you touch once, you tap it twice to actually touch the button, i dont know whether this is a setting that is doing this, or a bug or something, i reset the ipod by holding the home button and the lock buttton, but the boxes still appeared around everything when you tuch it..... basically nothing changed; can anybody help or know anything about this setting, or what i can do to mabe reset it so the boxes go away?

be careful, ipod may explode, shoot you in the face, die, kill you, try to stab you in your sleep, slap you in the face.
also, most of the items needed to do this replacement are illegal in the us and can only be found in cuba.
indeed it may be assumed that it would just be easier taking your broken device to best buy.
thank you.

the problem with my iPod touch is that the LCD screen is broken it looks like one of those screens that when you throw a phone and it looks weird. also the tip of my headphone broke off and its not coming off. if you guys got any videos or websites on how to fix them send me them because so far youtube is not helping me out

I finally got my parts from China. I had already taken the screen off...so i followed the video from that point. I FOLLOWED this video exactly how it shows! EXACTLY. i went slowly and took extra care. I'm glad i did b/c there are lost of little things i could have screwed up. Anyways, I did it all and put it all back together, and it works....PERFECTLY. Thanks to the posters of this video.

EVERYONE! When you remove the screen be careful with the black box at the top right corner of the ipod (where a red and a blue cable is attached). It usually sticks to the screen and you might snap one of the cables.
Like this post so noone has to make the same mistake as me -.-'
