So a couple weeks ago I went for a hike and brought my ipod along in my backpack because I didn't want to leave it in the car. Unfortunately when I went to rest my head on my backpack at the top of the hike I ended up damaging the screen. Yes I cracked the liquid crystal to the point where I could only make out the first letter on the left side. This made it very difficult to scrole through and select what I wanted. I thought maybe I was going to have to spring for another pod until I found out you could buy replacement parts.



Luckily for me there appears to be many more clumbsy ipod owners out there and now there are several suppliers of replacement parts. There are even instruction videos online which walk you completely through the replacement process. So I ended up purchasing a new screen on ebay and it arived today.

I just finished installing the new screen and now my beautiful pod is back to normal. Yes!
