Replace Your iPod Mini??™s Screen
If your iPod mini??™s screen is giving you trouble, you don??™t have to grin and bear
it. Exercise your First Amendment rights and replace it. Table 5-2 shows the
required tools and the difficulty level.
To replace the screen in a first- or second-generation iPod mini, follow these steps:
1. Open the iPod according to the instructions in Chapter 3.
2. Four clips??”two per side??”attach the screen to the iPod mini. Unclip them to release
the screen (see Figure 5-41).
3. The screen is connected to the logic board by ribbon cable, which is slid into a
small, brown clip. Release the brown clip, and the ribbon cable slides out easily
(see Figure 5-42).
4. Connect the new screen, and clip it back into place on the logic board.
5. Slide the logic board back into the shell.
