I've just unplugged the screen cable (by removing the screen). The cable is very short and it doesn't seem to snap back. Any tips?

iPod Touch 4th Generation: Black screen after replacing flex cable. [SOLVED]

Thu, 26 Jul 2012 05:57:56 -0700

[THE PROBLEM]

I ran into an issue in the shop where after replacing the Flex cable every screen I tried was black. The iPod wouldn't even beep when plugged in.

Since I googled the tar for a solution, and couldn,' find one, I'll post what I found for anyone else with the same problem who hasn't been able to find a solution.

The solution is moved below, to the answer so that it can be cleared per request.

iPod Touch 4th Generation: My iPod Touch volume/power cable broke.

Wed, 08 Aug 2012 12:55:30 -0700

Now my iPod touch won't show anything. I know it's on because when I hold the home button the voice assistant talks. I did see a white screen once. Also my computer detects it. I can't do any reset because my flex cable for the volume/power is ripped. But i'm also not sure a hard reset would work. Did this happen to anyone similar? Did you fix it? How?

iPod Touch 4th Generation: What kind of cable is this?

Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:11:32 -0700

I was trying to replace the screen of my iPod 4th Gen (and all the stuff that comes with it) but I broke a ribbon cable (and maybe a second one?)

So what I need to know now is, which those cable(s?) are, so I know which ones to buy. It'd be great if someone could give me a link to the cable(s?).

Here is the image: (I used paint to show you the places where the cable(s?) are broken)

Edit: I just noticed that I removed that black stuff under the upper ribon cable (thought it was just some glue, do I need this?))

iPod Touch 4th Generation: Does dropping the iPod a certain way affect the wifi signal?

Mon, 25 Mar 2013 11:38:57 -0700

Thank you for taking the time to look over my problem. As well all know dropping the iPod can lead to a broken screen at some point. In my case the screen is so damaged that I can see where the wifi cable is screwed in. Before, the wifi in my house would just come right up no problem, but after that one time I dropped my iPod on it's face, I have to literally put the iPod up close to the modem, and even then I get only 2 bars. If there is anyway for me to fix this and bring it back to normal, please let me know whenever you can.
