My classic had a cracked screen. After replacing the screen (ordered from Ifixit) all i get is a white screen. The ipod seems to function allright, is recognized by pc and itunes.
I have restored the ipod, i have disassembled and reassembled, checked all ribbons/connections, still a white screen.
What can i do?
Is this a good question?

jobbbelt, make sure that the Classic is a Classic and not a Video. Then make sure that the LCD ribbon cable is properly seated,. If it is slightly angled it can give you a white screen. Then of course there is always the possibility of a failed LCD.

Hello oldturkey03, thank you for your reaction.
Today i re-installed the old (cracked) screen, and immediately the Apple logo was visible. Today i will also, again, try the new screen, but i am afraid it was faulty on arrival. Btw: it is def. a Classic :-)
Good thing the old screen showed the Apple logo. Let us know how it turns out.
I have contacted Ifixit, and they are sending me a replacement display.
Replacement arrived yesterday (thanks Ifixit), assembled today: same problem! White screen only (and yes, the old screen still functions).
Original and replacement displays however show different codes on the flatcable, is there a difference?
I have contacted Ifixit again by mail, will wait their reaction.
