Ipod Touch LCD Backlight Issue

**FINAL UPDATE**
The issue was hardware and internal, the unit has since been replaced with another "recert" which wound up having a stuck accelerometer. That one too has been replaced with a brand new one.


*************************
This iPod has gone back through "diagnostics" with Apple again even though it was supposed to be a forced replace. Again, the issue "could not be reproduced" and it was sent back to me...still experiencing the same issue. It is now back at Apple for the 3rd time. :-(
************************

I've sent this iPod in to Apple for repair with specific info about the issue shown, but it came back from Apple with a "we can't replicate your issue" letter. :-(

Why are you pushing on the backlight. You" ll break the cable going to the logic board and it will mess it up permenently

@400sean did you watch the video and read the description, the unit was not apart and I was not touching the back-light, that's the touch-screen...which...you are supposed to touch. ;-)

*THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE OF CONSTANT AJUST TO BACKLIGHT,BRITTNESS

[cmiper]

@kuntyfacedbitch this has nothing to do with the adjustment of the brightness, brightness does not go all the way to "OFF" and this is not cure-able by re-adjusting, this was a faulty device, likely due to a bad connection to the backlight.

mine is like this but its alwaysss dark

[cmiper]

@TheOsvaldo220 the backlight isn't in the screen, only the touch capabilities are there. The backlight is part of the underlying LCD, possible permanently attached to it, though I am not 100% certain.
