Hi guys, I’ve been a bit of a prat and dropped my iPod in the sink. It was turned on at the time, although I wasn’t using it. After dropping it the first thing I did was dried it externally then took a blow dryer to it (on cool setting) to try and dry it internally. While I was doing that the touch screen wasn’t working, but the bottons were, so sadly I couldn’t turn it off. At this point the backlight did actually flash on a few times, but that was it. Now, everything on the iPod is working, including wifi, the external speaker, headphones etc. except the backlight. Does anyone know a way of repairing this (it’s well out of Apple warranty and they wouldn’t touch it anyway due to the water). Is it going to be a new LCD? Many thanks, Sam
Sure looks like it. The Backlight is part of the LCD whereas the inverter circuit is part of the logic board. So hope it is the LCD. Of course it is also possible that you have some corrosion on the connectors etc. So before you change it, disassemble your ipod by following the instructions from here and you can then follow this Hope it will make a difference. Good Luck Coil 2 is the one that is the trouble maker the is more info on the gsm forum
