  • Answer to: Touch screen + wake button not working after repair?

    the digitzer ribbon is underneath the board, refer to the teardown manual on this site. I just take out the rear camera and lift the board very slightly to disconnect the old one and connect the new one, you will kind of feel it click into place. Make sure to test its functionality before you close it up. The LCD is very easy and is just on top of the board to the right of the digitizer.

  • Answer to: How To Reset When Disabled Without Computer

    There is no way to do that unfortunately. You have to put it into DFU mode and then use a computer to restore it. I would suggest trying to find a buddy who will let you use their computer. To DFU the iPod have it plugged into the computer, hold the lock and home buttons until the device shuts off, count to 5 and release the lock button while still holding the home button, a message should pop up on your computer prompting you it is in recovery mode and you have to restore it. Let me know if you have any questions

  • Answer to: How do you replace the back cover?

    You can, there are generic back covers you can purchase, however it will not have the serial number (or the correct one) on the back. Unless your case is trashed I would not advise doing a swap. You have to take everything out and move it to the new case which is very time consuming and there is a lot of potential to damage some crucial components.

  • Answer to: Wifi option in settings is greyed-out after screen repair?
