Remove the following three screws near the top edge of the logic board:

• One 2.0 mm Phillips screw
• Two 2.3 mm Phillips screws

Use the edge of an iPod opening tool to gently pry the rear-facing camera away from the rear case.

Use an iPod opening tool to slightly lift the edge of the logic board next to the battery enough to grab it with your other hand.

Do not excessively bend the logic board, as it is very thin and fragile.

While gently lifting the logic board with one hand, use an iPod opening tool to lift the logic board near the copper tape at the logic board's top edge.

The logic board will be lifted adequately when the last display assembly connector has cleared the top edge of the rear case.

Use the edge of an iPod opening tool to begin peeling the loop of copper tape wrapped around the connector near the center of the top edge of the logic board.

Continue peeling the tape until it is free from the logic board.

Using a pair of tweezers to peel the tape greatly simplifies the task if you've got them.

Use the edge of an iPod opening tool to pry the connector out of its socket on the logic board.

Remove the front panel assembly from the Touch.

If you are installing a new display assembly, you will want to replace the old adhesive with new adhesive.

• Remove as much of the old adhesive as you can and then apply new adhesive strips to the appropriate places.
• You will also need to transfer the metal plate that sits over the front camera and sensor windows. You can do this using a heat gun or hair dryer.

After you have reassembled your device, it is common to get a white screen when powering it up for the first time. All you have to do is a hard reset and that should fix it.

Double check that the ribbon cable is not pinched between the LCD and the metal plate. Fold it back on itself so that it doesn't get pinched. If the ribbon cable is pinched, you may get a white screen that cannot be fixed because the traces on the ribbon cable have been damaged.
