Your ipod would still show up on the computer with a bad flex cable. Try holding the lock and home buttons for about 15 seconds and see if that wakes it up. Did you use an online guide to replace the screen?

I work at a cell phone repair shop, we fix ipods as well as iphones. And every 4 or 5 ipod 4th gens that come in, this happens to one.
What you need to do is put the ipod into DFU mode and restore it. Not sure why this happens, but that's the cure. Enjoy!
How do you put it into dfu mode when it's completely unresponsive? I changed a screen and it was fine, but customer wanted a different colour. The old screen went white screen of death now with the new screen on there's no sign of life. At wits end now. Can you help?

Here's a tutorial with pics that everyone has been requesting. I've used this method over a dozen times successfully. Good Luck!!
There are 3 small battery terminals (shown below). You only want to touch the one to the far right (circled below). Avoid touching the other 2 terminals!!
see the pics
still nothing, and no I've done it before and all i did was pull off the screen, took off that silver thing lifted up the top of the motherboard attached the digitizer put back the silver thing attacked the lcd and put the new screen on top
Bryan,
i just got it to show up and power on but now the screen won't work,
Bryan,
I am facing this issue right now. Ive done plenty of screen replacements in the past and this one was successful but the digitizer didnt work. After re-assembling the digitizer connection, the iPod would not even be recognized by the pc or itunes? Any one know what to look for or what might have caused this. i did bend the board a little but its a neccessity when you change the digitizer cable
