iPod video 30gb screen turns white after little use..

Hi, I own a 30GB iPod Video, and the screen on it has gone completely white. Before there are any answers, here's somethings to think:

1- Music and audio can be heard, but you cannot tell what song it is (No cover art or title)

2- It has been reformatted, restored, opened, and troubleshooted multiple times.

3-"Little use" refers to putting it in my pocket walking around, playing music.

4-I've hard reset it multiple times, and even tried diagnostics, it beeps, but you can't see any of the tests.

5-The problem started yesterday, and yes; the cables have been reseated.

Please, help me figure this out as I want to use the video, and know what song I'm playing.

Hi

Unfortunately I have found this issue to be one of 2 things

1)A Bad Logicboard:I would inspect the board for anything off like discolouration and and blown components,any damage

2)the screen may have failed:this is the more likely of the two ,however cleaning the screen cable with isopropyl alcohol and the connector on the board with the alcohol too can fix this issue from my experience

Hopefully this helps

Any questions please ask

Thanks:-)
