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....

Cracked iPod video screen

I've bought my son iPod video 30G last Christmas. Yesterday he found iPod screen cracked and not working. He said he didn't do anything but keeping it in his backpack. I took it to "Smart" bar at the store where I bought it and got the worst experience. The "Smart" guy in that store kept saying about the limited warranty which does not cover the damage done by abuse and offering best option like recycling the four-month old iPod 30Gig and geting 10% discout for new purchase. He said it even cannot be repaired. Does it make any sense to anybody??
I've searched online and found there are tons of complains about fragile iPod video screen and Apple hasn't done anything about this inherent defect yet. Let me ask Apple company the question. Is it really only the user's fault? Is it fair to blame the customers only and even refusing the repair? I guess you should have clearly posted the statement like "the screen is extremely fragile, so please put it in hard-shell case not to break it" in the user manual.
So, good lesson, everyone. Don't waste your $300 for this poor material.

trust me if ipod screens were really that fragile i'd have broken one by now.
I like have the worst care for electronics ever.
let's see i've had three ipod's. my mom said she'd buy me a new one if i'd let her have my old one. that one still works. the next one suffered a corrupted harddrive. and my third one still works. it had better i only got it christmas.
anyway, at multiple times i have sat on dropped and banged against things each one of these ipods.
trust me if ipod screens were really that fragile i'd have broken one by now.
I did have a theory about this though. the accidental breaking.
this depends on the supposed idea that the front cover of the ipod is a layer of glass and one of plastic.
there may be a thin layer of air or moisture trapped between the two layers and when moved from intense cold to heat. the air or moisture expands and causes the material to break.
note the last science class i took was high school chem and i got a D. so no you can't take this to the bank, probably.
and that class was probably graded on a curve.

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.

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

30GB iPod Video Screen Replacement

I have a fifth generation 30GB iPod Video and it's really scratched up.
It's weird because it was in a hard case and they both got scratched, but it's like it was with sandpaper...well that doesn't matter.
Ok, so it's scratched a was on eBay looking at iPod accesories (cheaper there) and there were these iPod screen replacements that came with a tool and manual too. It's $15 so I was gonna get it but does anyone know if that's just junk and if it will mess up my iPod because now I can only watch videos when I'm in a dim room. It's really annoying and I need someone's help. Thanks! ^_^

no, i never broke my LCD screen but i had a friend that broke her nano and she sent it here and got it back with no problems..just a new LCD screen!

Black line on my ipod video screen

hey im having problems with the screen of my ipod video, it has a black line in the middle of it and it is very strange, i stays when i try to see videos.

I posted this response to you in another thread that you mentioned this in. Out of curiosity, if this began months ago why didn't you contact Apple about it? At that time it probably would have been a little more feasible to believe that it was something that randomnly occured rather than some sort or "human" caused screen damage.
Sounds like your screen sustained some sort of damage (similar to what would happen if your LCD screen cracked). This could have happened in different ways. If you carry it in your pocket or in a bag/purse and something heavy put pressure on it...the screen itself may not have any physical cracks. You can try and see if Apple will cover that under warranty but I wouldn't hold my breath. It doesn't seem like something that would easily occur by itself like a product defect. How long have you had your iPod and when did this occur?

Broken iPod Video Screen!!! :-(

So my screen is broken! Will apple cover it or do I have to pay to get it repaired?
I think i might have sat on it to make it break or something else might of happened.

I leave for a trip tomorrow to Disneyland in Anaheim. What is the closest store to there if you think i Can get it replaced.

Follow this link to see where the closest location is.

Broken screen seems to never be covered by Apple. Termed misuse and will be out of your pocket. Cost to repair accounts for close to half if not more the total cost of the IPOD.

30GB 5G iPod Video Problems.

Hey, all.
I just got a new fifth generation 30GB iPod Video and am having trouble getting the video on it.
I've got all my songs on it, but iTunes won't seem to let me add videos into the library. I followed the instructions in the manual at apple.com, but i've had no luck.
iTunes doesn't give an error when I try to import a video file, it simply doesn't import it. No messages or anything.
Does anyone have any ideas on what I need to do to get videos on my iPod? Thanks.

Well first...
Pacience is all you need
Believe me...
I had MANY MANY MANY ipod problems
and it seems everytime I take time
to solve them...
it seems to always get back to normal
I'm not an Apple worker or anything
BUT you're lucky that Apple community has an enormous
way to help you
You won't find that anywhere else, specially in a
Creative Zen
okay then...
maybe you'd want to use Utility Disc if you have access to an iMac
if not try to use the Diagnostic Mode
built into the iPod Video
- first reset your iPod (menu and center hold)
- once you see the Apple logo, hold in menu and previous/rewind button together until you hear a beep and
a white screen that looks like an old computer will display
- you are now in diagnostic mode
- don't use auto test if it asks you
- select IO
- then, select HardDrive
- then, select the HDSpecs
- once you're done with the HDspecs
select the HDSMARTData
if problem persists rest your iPod for half a day
then try the 5 R's
if problem still persists
try calling Apple Support
basic help is for free for at least
1 year you bought your iPod

SCRATCHED MY IPOD VIDEO SCREEN..HOW TO FIX?!

I've just purchased a 30gb ipod video, along with a skin. While i was putting on the skin, it roughly damaged the screen and scratched it. I am very dissapointed for the screen is suppose to prevent scratches, but while putting it on. It actually created a big scratch and smudges on it. And it is quite unbearable to watch videos with it. Does anyone know how to remove, or if the apple warranty covers it?

I have had success removing scratches with Brasso and a cotton ball. It takes a bit of effort. Wait until the Brasso dries then wipe it off with a face cloth, then buff with a microfine cloth.

Language settings on new 30gb black ipod

My sister received an iPod (30gb black) for Christmas this morning. When she turned it on, she tells me the display is showing a collection of symbols as opposed to text. I am guessing the language is set the Chinese or Japanese???
I am currently away so am unable to figure it out!
Anyone able to explain the process to change the language to English.

See this.

Place to fix iPod video screen bleeding?

Hi. I had dropped my iPod video, which resulted in the screen bleeding. I called up Apple, but it wasn't covered under the warranty. Does anyone know of a website or store that would be able to fix this? Thanks.

IPod Video Screen tint

Just bought two identical iPod videos. One unit has a noticable difference in the tint of the screen when next to the other--especially in the white areas. It has a "browner" hue than the other. Has anyone else noticed this? I might have to return the unit for a replacement.
