The first thing to try is a hard reset. You can do this by holding the home and power buttons in until you get the power off slider up the top of the screen. After it has shutdown power it on again and see if it has fixed it.

If that fails then I would assume either the LCD or 6R8 coil is dead. Before you go ahead and replace anything I would first inspect the mainboard for corrosion and if you find any clean it with isopropyl alcohol.

If after a clean it's still not working then I would first replace the LCD and if that fails then take it to a repair store to have the coil replaced.

I hope this helps and best of luck with the repair.

I have had the same problem and I tried taking apart my iPod and unplugging, and reconnecting the LCD screen connectors to the logic board but it didn't do anything. I then tried resetting the iPod, but that didn't fix it either. I think once you have this problem it is time for a new device :(

I also saw a video where a guy replaced the LCD display and it still didn't fix the problem.

Sometimes a stray thumb can unwittingly reduce the brightness, why or how I do not know. Went to SETTINGS then DISPLAY/BRIGHTNESS then moved the slider up from minimum. How it got there in the first place I cannot say but for me a simple solution.
