Ok, I bought an ipod off ebay that would not display anything. I replaced the LCD and theres lines everywhere. You cant see much but you can see enough to see the rest of the ipod works fine. It still syncs. Its an ipod touch 4G. Please help. Thanks.
Thanks for the link Phil22, but unfortunately it didn’t help much. This is what I tried doing:
I thought it might be a bad LCD. So I got another digitizer with LCD but the digitizer was broken. I got it really cheap just to test if the other LCD was bad. I put this new one on and it displayed perfectly. So I bought a good LCD+Digitizer. I took off the one with the broken digitizer and put this new one on. It showed a white screen for a little then went off. Now nothing comes up. No sounds when I plug it in either. I also accidently broke the volume/power button flex cable. Any suggestions? Sorry if this is hard to understand.
Hello :) If you recently replaced your LCD which is behind the digitizer then it should be fixed, if you are unable to see the screen, re open your ipod & insure the screen clip cables are in exactly, they should pop in, it may seem like they do, but occasionally when i open my iphone, it seems to not respond or screen turn on, i reopen & replug, sometimes this can take an hour.
If you are able to navigate & unlock your ipod. I recommend jailbreaking it, there are many guilds on the internet regarding your model & version, anyway once you do all that, install cydia & look for something called LCD flash.
I preformed this on my old 3g after i replaced the digitizer because i wanted to sell it, after a year or so after not being turned on, i noticed really bad jagged lines like cracks throughout my screen.... After i reset it & re-jailbroke It, i downloaded the screen flash & it worked perfectly! It works by force flashing the screen pixel by pixel. & i ended up getting $120 for it.Hope i helped
I cant jailbreak it though because now I cant get anything on the screen. Just black. Ive left it plugged in and sometimes it beeps but it will not come up in itunes or nothing on the LCD.

Since you say you just bought it, means it's still have warranty right?
Why not go to the nearest Mac shop and ask for exchange using your warranty ?
