iPod Touch 2nd 3rd Gen Screen Replacement Glass Tutorial | GadgetMenders.com

[@MrsJAC23]

Thanks! I'm a mom with NO technical experience and I fixed my son's iPod! He is well impressed and so am I! :)

[@x0xCRUSHERx0x]

best repair video ive seen so far. very detailed. which is exactly what one needs to hear if doing this themselves!! thank you!

[@sneekysnake5636]

Thankyou so much! I had cracked my screen in 3 places and the touch screen stopped working. but i bought a new digitizer and followed your video and it looks brand new and works like new!

[@thehagaman]

GadgetMenders: I would recommend showing a repair of a shattered screen. The process seems to be trickier. All the small pieces break off and removing the glass seemed substantially harder. My kit worked as advertised and got my iPod back up and running. My only comment is the pry tools seems to be one use only for a shattered screen. Not an issue at only a buck or two...just a comment to all trying to do a repair. For all you Canadian out there shipping is fairly typical at 5-6 business days.

[@gadgetmenders]

@DubD221 The logic board is bad. I'm assuming water damaged. Shine a light in the headphone jack port and see if there is a pink line in the bottom. This indicates water damage.

[@MorganaStar82]

Thanks! got my all new again! you are very good at explaining.

[@Mikey8567]

Thanx for the video. Already repaired many iPhone 3g's and 4's but not a touch before.

[@LilMissRe3d1]

Great tutorial! EXTREMELY helpful.

[@gadgetmenders]

If it's a model A1288 the 2nd gen screen will work. Either way, it's a very similar process as shown in the video. You can find both parts on our website.

[@gadgetmenders]

Model A1288 uses the 2G screen and model A1318 uses the 3G screen. They are different parts so you can verify whether or not it will work from the other device.

[@gadgetmenders]

Yes, with some patience and the right tools.

[@gadgetmenders]

Not with the replacement part we supply which includes the pre-assembled midframe with glass and home button. This makes the repair 50x easier and cleaner.

[@jeremybingham9229]

Great video! I only have one problem phone powers up. I can not slide bar to unlock? Please help

[@gadgetmenders]

Yes, but our replacement part includes a new seal already preassembled with the screen.

[@gadgetmenders]

Our tool kit now includes a thin metal pry tool that allows for easy removal of the screen.

[@mainlyediting]

So if I have an Ipod 3rd Gen 8g...do I order the part for the Ipod touch 2nd gen?

[@AdoreALGERIA]

I have an itouch 3g 32go and a 2g 32go digitizer, is the 2g compatible with mine!!

[@jonnysmashing]

where did you get the tools

[@kimberlybrown3721]

I have an iPod touch 3g 8gb with a broken screen and an ipod touch 2g that I don't use anymore. Would I be able to put the glass from the 2 in the 3 or do I need to buy a whole new assembly?

[@gadgetmenders]

The casing was likely bent from the fall and it will need to be bent back in place to accommodate the new screen.

[@restnot1]

fixed the lcd and glass works after they both broke lol it works good can see clearly other than a little hair gettin in their its all gpod thanks

[@Krucible]

dude thank u u fixed my ipod now i dont even need a stupid 4g ipod touch :)

[@TheMRFATE1]

where can u go to buy the new screen?

[@kylecourtemanche8493]

i got a 3rd gen ipod touch will a 2nd gen screen work and would i have to restore it

[@TheMichaelFashionCh]

Is the glass on the iPod Touch 2G and iPod Touch 3G the same?

[@gadgetmenders]

Check the connection and make sure the cable is not torn. You may have received a defective display. If you purchased the parts from us and feel that it is defective, please submit a ticket through our website.

[@gadgetmenders]

You can replace the LCD and glass. They are separate pieces on this model.

[@ellybelly20]

if the home button is no responding will this help fix that?

[@shhailay]

can we clean or iPod's inner screen and place the same screen????

[@autosaver]

What would happen if you replaced the iPod Touch 2G with an iPod Touch 4G screen [Glass]? Would it work out? I'm wondering this myself.

[@latolover]

Thanks for the video mate :)

[@AmazingLilymon]

my ipod touch 2nd gen has a (very) cracked screen and a lot of dead pixels, is it possible to replace the actual screen part on the ipod touch 2nd gen and not just the glass digitizer? i have replaced the whole thing on an iphone 4 but do not know if it's possible on an ipod touch 2nd gen, the apple store told me they're a sealed unit that you can't fix but they told me the same about the iphone...

[@riflelord2]

my jack seems to be stuck on one side and i'm just wondering do you know a quick fix? to me it looks like the prongs on one side are stuck

[@b5i6ll7y]

is there any glue involved

[@Sm27_pr]

does it comes in colors on in white?

[@cooleo1954]

What should i do if the digitizer i purchased came with frame and everything but not the home button? =O

[@gadgetmenders]

If it's your actual display that has issues then you need to replace the LCD screen. We have a video demonstrating this process.

[@cjpalmero]

MAY I ASK HOW MUCH TOUCH GLASS??

[@rainbowcaress6028]

If i removemy completely cracked screen and put a new one will i loose any of my applications like instagram that ive just got hooked on and pictures?

[@ProphetRay]

My ipod touch is cracked and the screen is grey in about 60% but ti can still sync it and use it. What parts do i need to buy to get it fixed?

[@gadgetmenders]

No, model A1288 uses the 2G screen and model A1318 uses the 3G screen.

[@gadgetmenders]

Try charging the device. Try connecting the device to iTunes. Reset by holding the power button and home button simultaneously for 7-10 seconds.

[@gvtimi8661]

hi i am from macedonia i broke my display for my ipod touch 2nd and i have dislpay from ipod touch 3nd isi it does or not please give the answer

[@DJeast3]

is 2nd and 3er gen digitizer thesame

[@gadgetmenders]

Be sure you have purchased the correct part for your model. The 2G and 3G touch look similar but use different parts.

[@redbaron19461676]

I feel dumb I bought a digitizer for a 32gb 3rd Generation Ipod Touch with tools and it was $18 w/shipping and it said no frame i didn't think i needed a frame so I bought it . Well when I was taking the digitizer off and the frame cracked badly so I just bought a frame for it and it came with the adhesive for the digitizer it was 10 w/shipping. How do I put the digitizer on the frame and get it aligned properly????

[@mitaka1234567890]

my front glass thing is cracked so do i just remove it and place a new one

[@gadgetmenders]

Plastic pry tool, you can all the parts and tools needed on our website.

[@gadgetmenders]

Yes!

[@gadgetmenders]

On this model the glass and digitizer should always come together. The LCD screen is separate.

[@gadgetmenders]

If they are both model A1288 then yes, otherwise, they use different screens.

[@kylehaupert]

Very helpful

[@colig54]

Thanks. Those plastic things are useless. They always break. I find the flathead screwdriver that comes with the kit to be more effective at releasing the clips if you are gentle and avoid the top left cable corner. That screen on the inside is hard to spot and good to remember. Its useful to know that the clips you're releasing are on the bottom of the inside and made of metal (aren't they). My advise is be gentle and buy the right kit - IE the kit with a home button and the connections. Thanks

[@gadgetmenders]

When purchasing the parts and tools from us there will be no surprises. The parts and tools are as shown in the video. With the parts you have found elsewhere you will need to adhere the new glass to the midframe and reuse your old home button.

[@gadgetmenders]

You would need to replace the jack. You can find our video for this repair by visiting our channel. The parts are available on our website.

[@rami416]

Is there any way to make iphone 16gb into 32gb by putting something in it

[@porsche12]

Thank u!

[@moneyman123able]

when i put the digitizer cord into its port it immediately comes back out. am i doing something wrong?

[@gadgetmenders]

Yes, if not then there is an issue with the logic board.

[@cesarramirez-ft9xq]

I can't touch my ipod 2nd generation. I cant even unlock it because it wont slide. Would i just need to get a new lcd digitizer?

[@gadgetmenders]

You can find the parts and tools needed for this repair on our website. Feel confident knowing that you will receive a high quality part as shown in our tutorials.

[@gadgetmenders]

It's a different process. Please see our channel for the repair video for the touch 4g.

[@gadgetmenders]

You can find the current cost of these parts on our website.

[@happyjazzel]

I put in the screen and it works but the glass seems to small did I do something wrong?

[@gadgetmenders]

I'm not sure where you ordered the screen from but it sounds like a bad aftermarket replacement.

[@gadgetmenders]

No, the cables are different.

[@TheUltimativeBoy]

Thx are the best :)

[@gadgetmenders]

It's very doable with some patience and the right tools. You can find all parts and tools needed for this repair on our website. Follow the link in the description.

[@mikesw15]

Thanks for this ;-)

[@gadgetmenders]

You will likely need to replace the LCD screen. Please see our other videos for this tutorial.

[@GlasstroGaming]

thanks!!!!

[@XErnieX]

Yes.

[@robocp99]

my screen cracked in half when i was taking it out, im so worried im going to fail at doing it and have to buy a new one.

[@gadgetmenders]

You can find the parts and tools on our website.

[@gadgetmenders]

You will need to replace both the LCD and glass.

[@gadgetmenders]

It can cause damage.

[@gadgetmenders]

You can find the current prices on our website by following the link in the description.

[@Shionnycadalzo]

I'm pretty sure I closed the front assemble very well but my home button is not working :/

[@gadgetmenders]

No, the data on the device remains unaffected.

[@gadgetmenders]

No, the plugs and design are totally different.

[@gadgetmenders]

We cannot provide advice for parts that were not ordered through our company.

[@gadgetmenders]

No, it would require replacing the motherboard which doesn't make sense.

[@nathanevison3907]

i put a new screen on my 3rd gen but its unresponcevive

[@gadgetmenders]

Check to see if there are any tears in the cable. The screen may be defective. If you ordered the screen from us please contact our customer service team for assistance.

[@Slipknot2RIP]

watch the whole video

[@mex2themax1993]

It was easy to replace the screen on my first time yoke me like 10 mins its not rocket science it was easier with this video

[@gadgetmenders]

If that's what you're looking to do.

[@gadgetmenders]

No

[@gadgetmenders]

You would need a 2g screen and a 3g screen.

[@gadgetmenders]

If after replacing the glass the issue remains, then your device is beyond repair.

[@xsolo3]

Who thinks apple should make 5th iPod touch with a led screen

[@Mienboi821510]

hey hey hey its not stupid! :D

[@gadgetmenders]

It would not be worthwhile to replace the board. A water damaged device is typically beyond repair.

[@gadgetmenders]

No, just black like the original.

[@gadgetmenders]

No, sorry.

[@ThatKidFromYuba]

@jtpurpledrank 8 gb 3rd gen are 2nd gens.. you just wasted your money..

[@MsToshibasatellite]

Slide to unlock xD

[@acexprt]

LOL
