IPod Touch screen. Replace of stick?

Here's the thing. My iPod Touch's screen isn't as impressive as i'd like it, sure it's not as bad as some of the examples of bad screens i've seen, but it's still not what I expected for my £200. Videos are a bit weird, some of the blacks appear slightly greyish, not as bad as i've seen on blogs but still annoying.
Also, it's got a dead pixel in the corner, but not so far into the corner that it doesn't get on my nerves. It's still not as bad as the 10-15 dead pixel reports i'm hearing, but it's still a £200 quid device.
I'm wondering wether I should swap/return it, or just make do. What's your opinion on this matter? Out of the two I would probably swap it and hope for a good one, because as far as the software goes it's pretty fantastic, i'm just REALLY annoyed with apple for messing up on the hardware so badly here.

Sorry, but i wouldn't accept ANY dead/stuck pixels. Every LCD screen having them is NOT the case today. The manufacture process for LCD screens is significantly better today. I would return it. I have a week 38 from Costco that has two stuck pixels; one near the center and one toward the left side although both are not very obvious. I plan to return it, but I have 90 days to return a Costco electronic product, so I will wait a little while until a newer batch comes in, hopefully with the screen issues resolved.

I'm bustin' your chops. Some call it humor, some don't have a sense for it....
The real point is Kappy gave you a link to a list of video demonstrations of changing the digitizer to show you that what you intend to do can in fact be done. However, not once but TWICE you questiofed what was freely given to you, and you obviously didn't take the time or make any effort to find out if white framed digitizers are available.
The fact of the matter is, white framed digitizers are available, and rather inexpensively I might add.
My post with the outrageous prices was intended to trigger some of your obviously dormant gray matter into some form of activity that might just resemble intelligent human thought and maybe generate a giggle or two. Guess I was wrong.... But at least now I know why you have a picture of a box of rocks for your avatar....

My ipod touch screen is broken and whenever i press the lock screen button, the screen is white, what can i do to fix this?

so my ipod touch screen is broken, and whenver i try to unlock the ipod screen, all that i can see is the top right hand corner of my ipod, and the rest is all whited out. Also, the jack which support the headphones to stay in place, one of the balls in the jack is pushed in which causes the headphones and stereo jack to slip all the time. I also have a problem which is when i try to sync my ipod to itunes. Last time i did it(which was 4 years ago), i synced my ipod and i started out with 225 songs, after the syncing process was complete, i ended up with 119 songs. I'm afraid to resync my ipod or back up my ipod to a computer because i dont want to lose the wonderful collection of 589 songs i have now. I'd really appreciate it if i got some feedback. Thanks.

Can you get your cracked iPod Touch screen repaired if you colored the top of it with highlighters? If you can't, how do I remove the highlighter?

I cracked my iPod Touch screen at the top where the front camera is and colored the cracks in with highlighter. I want to know if I can still get it repaired even if its colored in? If I can't, how do I remove the highlighter?

Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.

How can I make the best of my ipod touch screen with no internet connection??

I've been offered an ipod touch screen last Christmas and it's only a week ago that I took it out of its box. I still can't figure out how to transfer my music library from my laptop to the ipod. But I've installed some apps thinking I would be able to listen to my favourite radio station and play some games wherever I go and to my disappointment nothing's working if not connected to an internet connection. I thought an ipod was an improved walkman and actually it is nothing but a device that should be connected to the internet to work.
Considering that I don't have a free internet connection to the internet on my mobile phone, I was just wondering wht's the purpose to have an ipod? I really consider to go back to my old walkman... Thank you for your comments to help me to make the best of my Christmas present.

The message you are getting is saying that the iPod was previous synced to another computer. You can only sync with one computer. If you sync to another computer then the iPod media from the iPod get erased (as the message says) and is replaced with what is in the iTunes library of the second computer.
Syncing means copying (syncing) media from your iTunes library to your computer)
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
For not showing in iTunes:
- Try entering the screen lock passcode on your iPod if not done already
- Go to Windows Device Manager and see if there is any problems/unknown devices
- Can you not import photos from a digital camera? The iPod appears in My Computer like a camera does.

Any suggestions on what to do for a cracked ipod touch screen ? Replacement screen is $75.

Apple doesn't repair it. If there is no sign of abuse, they replace it with a refurbished unit. The fixed-price for non-warranty replacements can be found here.

HELP!!! iPod Touch screen SHATTERED :O

So by the title you have probably figured out the depressing reality I am faced with: My iPod Touch screen has finally shattered into a million pieces :'( It even had a semi-hard case on, but unfortunately for me it landed right on the weakest part of the structure - the thin piece metal between the 30-pin dock connector and the screen, and also where the case is extremely thin and flimsy. That bent into the glass, sending hairline cracks up to the top of the screen as well as shattering the glass around the home button, and as all us iOS device users should know, even gorilla glass can't handle that kind of impact. Luckily I have a screen protector on, so the glass didn't go everywhere and I can still use it without risking a trip to the hospital.
Sadly, my iPod is more than 2 years old and I didn't get Applecare support, so my question is...what are my chances of getting it replaced or even a discount on their currently ridiculous pricing ($109 + $19.95 P&H!) if I walk into an Apple store and ask? I have heard of many success stories of people getting their devices replaced, but I realise that the fact that it has passed its 2nd birthday will go harshly against my persuasive attempts.
Also, I live in Australia if that makes a difference. Here are some pics:

Dang! I did some googling around, and there are 2 stores right here in Sydney that can replace your old iPod Touch screen with a brand new genuine screen for $89. Do you think it's worth it or should I just get a 5th Gen iPod for $329?

Will apple fix a broken ipod touch screen

my friend smashed his ipod touch screen and its completly broken he bought it from futureshop and his dad threw out the recept but he got it a month ago will apple fix it?

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price unless:
An iPod that is ineligible for warranty service may be eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. For example, an iPod that has failed due to accidental damage or liquid damage is ineligible for warranty service but eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. However, certain damage is ineligible for Out-of-Warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications.

IPod Touch screen switches back and forth between lock screen and start-up screen.

iPod Touch 4th Generation
My iPod Touch screen has been showing the Apple logo with the loading wheel then it will switch to the lock screen. It keeps going back and forth. My iTunes and iPhoto programs recognize my iPod when I plug it in, but it's the iPod itself that doesn't seem to be working. I've already tried resetting it using the Power and Home button, and restoring it using iTunes. I can't turn the power off unless I reset it. It's still continuing to charge on its own but it won't let me unlock the screen.
I haven't dropped it so I don't know why it's like this. I've just had this replaced literally a month ago, so I'm not sure what's wrong with it.
Anyone experiencing this problem or know what to do?

Have you tried placing the iPod in recovery mode and then restoring it. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

There's a logo that pops up on my ipod touch screen with the logo Itunes and the USB cord but is unable to connecct with iTunes...what should i do?

Resolve communication issues
Check the hosts file or TCP/IP filtering, which might cause communication issues between iTunes, ports, and servers.
