Daniel, in your case, the backlight is out. There are only a very few ways to try to fix this. The first one is by replacing the LCD (PITA) and the second one is trying to find the coil that is responsible for the backlight (almost impossible) . Follow this guide to get to the logic board and the display as well. Clean all of your parts and pieces with 90%+ isopropyl alcohol. Make sure that you clean all the connectors and cable ends. Check for obviously damaged components, replace the battery and do replace the display. Reassemble your iPod and see what you get. Hope this helps, good luck.
