<div style="word-wrap:break-word">Hello All,<div>Does anyone know anyone local who is good at iPod repair? Santa gave my daughter an engraved ipod touch last year and the screen went dark the other day. It is still recognized when plugged in and if you hold it at the right angle you can see that the screen is working and touch sensitive. if any of you have any experience fixing one yourself I'd love to know what part of the display is not working. Thanks chris<br>

</div><div><br></div><div>It's the backlight that is not working. I did a quick google and saw there are numerous pages and videos describing the problem so you can confirm that it is what you're seeing. </div><div>
<br></div><div>I also saw results for buying replacement parts and instructions on how to fix it. I suspect the parts aren't costly so you could take a low-risk gamble at fixing it yourself. (you'll either fix it or it will remain unusable)</div>
