Righteous staring back at him? Obviously, the
screen on his laser video was working just fine. Hopefully, you
can say the same for the screen on your iPod, but if you can??™t,
this chapter is for you. In it, we show you how to remove your
iPod??™s broken liquid crystal display (LCD) and install a brandnew
one.
Check the Signs of a Bad Screen
A bad screen is fairly easy to diagnose. When you turn on your iPod, you see
what looks like an inkblot in the display. Sometimes it seems to be a large crack
or a flood of ink, while other times it looks more like a little sliver (see Figure 5-1).
Either way, your LCD needs to be replaced. You don??™t break open the screen
itself and try to clean up the spilled ink. You just pop out the old screen and
install a new one.
