LCD Got Broken
People break their LCD in a number of ways. Frankly some iPods are prone to easy screen breakage.
The 1st Generation iPod Nano had long slender case that was about 3/16" tall. Its case was very prone
to flexing while the LCD inside wasn't. They are a fairly frequent replacement. That's also why
Apple chose to make the 2nd generation Nano with a one piece extruded aluminum outer case.
The 2nd Gen Nano is near indestructible. The 3rd and 4th Generation Nano models have been similarly rugged
First, let's mention something, the labor rate I charge is the same. If I open up your iPod I'll
do all the things you need to have done to it, all at the same time, for *ONE* labor rate of $40.
If you want the LCD replaced and a battery installed... that's just one labor rate of $40.
PLUS from that same $40 I also pay the shipping back to you. Other places charge $8 to $38 for
shipping back to you, it's included here... but it is just surface delivery.

| iPod Touch 2nd Gen Digitizer/upper glass for 8GB, 16GB & 32GB model | $39 (there is a design patent on the plastic bezel and the upper glas is epoxied to that
plastic piece. It is impossible to remove the upper glass from your bezel without destroying it. Therefore the entire assembly has to be replaced. There aren't even Chinese counterfeits. It
has to be the complete Apple part and is pricey) | $60 | $99 |
