    the reason why i didnt show a strip down and rebuild guide is because there are loads already on youtube......but after searching i could not find a video showing you how to reattach the main mother board ribbon!

  • Hi,

    recently my ipod stopped responding to touch, and the volume button died (after being scrambled with the power). Do you think replacing this will work? I think my ipod got water in it.

    I need a new lcd and digitizer and I dont want to spend money on spare parts (£30ish)and find it doesnt work when a second hand ipod is £70.

  • did you get to test the ipod after this repair? if so how did it do?

  • cant say i have had much luck

  • Does it matter what side of the tape goes where. Like the current only goes one way or is it a two way thing. I know it goes up down not side to side. But does it only go one way?

  • Hi Gilksy1,

    I've followed your guide many times and sometimes i find after putting the new ribbon on there is a loss of wifi functionality. have you had this problem too? any idea what causes it?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Bang on, just done this fix. originally had no wifi then the touch sensitivity went when i tried heatgunning it. its not that hard actually :)

  • where i can find the ribbon for mi ipod touch 1g because i try to open but when i try to remove the battery i broke the ribbon the ipod turn on and everything but the touch doesn't work and some bottom thanks if you tell me a link that i can buy the ribbon thanks

  • Please dont enquire about magic tape as stated at the end of the video. This is a stationary product rather then the z axis 9703 for electronic use!
