This was definitely the best video for this repair. I was able to make the repair, and more importantly put everything back together properly which most videos don't show. Getting the broken screen off was harder than expected, even after heating to loosen the glue.
Just ordered your tools, I'm hoping I'll sail through the repair smoothly. My screen isn't broken or cracked, it simply has no display whatsoever. The back-light comes on when I hit the home button, but not much else. I called a couple of repair shops, and they made it seem like I would need a new LCD without question. If a cable teared on the inside or detached, I'm not sure, but Apple doesn't want to seem handy. I plan to do it myself to save money, while learning something new and challenging.
***** Thx. Would a Phillips #00 screwdriver work the same as the 1.5x35mm you used to remove the screws? I sort of got the kit without it, and the x40mms are too big.
***** Update: I fixed the iPod! I followed all the steps carefully, and everything works the way it should. I was nervous, but it all worked out in the end. The LCD screen looks as good as the original one, you can't notice a difference. I like how it snapped into place rather than me having to add adhesive. The original screen was hard to lift, and without a heat gun or blow-drier to soften the glue, it can seem almost impossible to remove. Damn apple doesn't want us doing home repairs lol. Anyways, your a life saver, best regards.
Finally a good video!! I wish i would have saw thus sooner. One quick question. When my ipod broke it was all different colors and had lines all over the lcd and the touch screen also refused to work, now that i replaced it, the touch screen wont work and the picture is clearer but i still have lines on my screen but not as bad as before, any idea on how this was caused?
Hi, most videos showing the iPod 5th gen screen replacement shows using a heat gun removing the screen then removing the bezel. Can you skip that part and just pry up unclipping the screen with the bezel intack instead? Thanks Joel
I'm trying to fix this 5th gen ipod, I have the screen installed and ready to snap down but it doesn't feel right when it comes to snapping it down. I'm trying not to damage the lcd while doing that. How do you get to sit in properly? It feels flimsy.
Hello, thanks for this amazing video. I was able to change the screen if my iPod and everything works but I'm stuck on the last step where you clip the screen with the other part of the iPod. I won't stay. The clips become loose. Do I need to glue it down ?
Fixez, I did and follow all of the steps mad for some reason my front facing camera ceased to work. I was uber careful with all wired components. It looks like its perfect so I could only think it shorted somehow or there's a loose connection that is conductive somehow that fell off. Any ideas? Thanks
So odd that you mention that. Same problem here, no more front camera--just a bunch of lines and colors now. I think it might be sensor damage from the heat gun.
I know doesn't have anything in common but i onlly whant to be shure.. if i do this with the device i don't need to loose my information on the device.. right? thanks!
+Pyrodron Productions No, these would be different models. At the moment we do not have any parts for the new gen model. Check back with us for any updates, we should carry these soon.
thanks for the reply but i already tried aha. the button under my plastic home screen button is functioning, but isn't functioning with the screen on with the plastic button in place etc i cant figure it out.. oh well
i dropped my ipod touch 6 gen and it came up to lines. now on the video i can do it but is there any other way i can fix it or no just asking and where can i get some of thoses tools from
+niya twain You would require a new LCD and Touch screen assembly. However, at this time we do not offer any for the 6th Gen just yet. Here is a link to all our tools we offer www.fixez.com/categories/repair-tools/ipod-repair-tools
I have an iPod 5 and a screen replacement but the problem is my LCD screen broke and that's all I need to fix it. I can't find anywhere for an LCD can you help!?!?!?!
+Giselle Rangel The LCD and front glass are fused together. You would want to replace both units as offered through our site. View this link www.fixez.com/store/ipods/ipod-touch/ipod-touch-5th-gen
My screen is cracked but I can still turn it on and use it the touch screen buts the cracks make it hard to see my whole screen. If I we're to repair it myself what would I need?
should also add that the camera doesn't always pop out of the old screen like it did with in video. its not glued in but the housing it sits in can be tight so with tweezers or something to lever it with a small amount of pressure it will come out. only say this because I've known some people who have got excited about being on a roll with their first screen replacement and stop giving the video the attention they should from start to finish and when it gets to cutting the cables for the screen they've also cut through the camera cable.
Once paypal transfer goes through in planning on buying a replacement screen for an IPod touch 6th gen.. The 5th gen screen will work on the 6th right? Also does it matter if it's black or white? I remember reading somewhere when the iPhone 4 came out with white that they had to make some sort of changes for the front camera.. The iPod touch 6 is factory red with white on the front but I wouldn't mind getting black with my white home button, something different.. Is this possible?
I have a question please help me My screen is crack, but the lcd still works fine and great just the screen is crack and the glass just bothers me So do I need to fix everything even though the lcd works or can i just fix the glass if so do you have a tutorial for it or is it not that much diffrent from this vidoe and another video where they just fix the glass because i haven't found a video just them fixing everything
I just replaced the display assembly and digitizer but now there is no touch effect, and after a few seconds the screen is full of colored vertical lines. Can you tell me what went wrong? I followed every step to the "T".
+M. A. Jimenez You would want to start by ensuring your flex cable is properly seated. Sounds like this is the issue here and if it continues, it's possible you have a bad part.
Thank you for your response, I've opened the Ipod again and made sure all the connections were properly seated and that there were no kinks anywhere, closed it and restarted it but it still does the same thing, so at this point I am more convinced that they sent me a defective part. Thank you anyway for all your help.
Hi could you please help? I am trying to snap the clips in but when i try there is no snapping and i am starting from the top. Only one of the clips snap in and this is not secure any suggestions?
I dropped my ipod touch 5th gen a few times and the screen began to lift. It was fixed once but it began to lift again even without being dropped. What could be the problem?
hi ipod touch 5th gen screen replaced but doesnt turn on. i have checked for damage to ribbons and all connections are fine but screen doesnt light up. i have connected to pc and itunes still recognises the device so it is powered up and operational but screen is still black please help
+Clint Eastwood Yes, the LCD and Touch screen are fused together. You would require the LCD and Touch screen assembly to repair this issue. www.fixez.com/store/ipods/ipod-touch/ipod-touch-5th-gen
Not sure. I ordered my new screen along with some replacement adhesive strips so I guess I need to replace some that are in the iPod. Not quite sure though.
Help! I replaced the screen and now it wont power on! I have rechecked everything and I am confident that all connections are good. I had this happen once before on an ipad repair and was eventually able to get it to reboot. I have holding down home and power for 20 seconds with no luck. any help would be appreciated.
It's good to check the connections as you confirmed. Attempt connecting the iPod to your PC with iTunes to see if it recognizes it. If it does, possibly have a bad display. You can also confirm this if the original LCD still powers up.
+restricted 1234 We offer the dock port here www.fixez.com/store/ipods/ipod-touch/ipod-touch-5th-gen/ipod-touch-5th-gen-dock-port-headphone-jack-replacement-black You can attempt replacing this component. If the damage is only the dock and not the logic board, this should work for you.
Hi ***** I would like ask if how can I solve my problem on my iPod Touch 5th Gen. Because it wont turn on. I tried the home button and power button method, tried plugging into laptop (Btw, my chord and accesories are 100% original). We went into a repair shop and they told me that the logic board is the problem. How can i solve it? Please reply.
What types of problems can cause your logic board to stop working? My charger cord had wires exposed and started smoking (really bad) when I plugged it up to my ipod. Now my ipod won't recognize any cord (plugged into either an outlet or my computer). The ipod is dead since it won't charge. When I press the home and the switch button, the red battery "battery dead/charge" sign comes up on the screen. Could I have shorted out the battery or messed up the charging port or something? Please help. Much appreciated.
***** Thank you. Do you guys do repairs? I'm looking for someone to repair it because Apple confirmed that it is definitely something wrong inside the device but they say there's no hope. Does taking apart the ipod damage data inside? Is it just as fully functioning as before it was taken apart? I was told by a technician that taking apart a 5th gen ipod touch completely damages it (because it is so thin). I really just need to get my photos off so I don't need it to be on too long, just long enough to back up the data. But if I could get it to work like new, that'd be great too. Thanks in advance.
OK just wondering. Because the video shows you completely taking apart the phone and even taking out the battery (which I also need a replacement of). But thanks anyways.
does anyone know of a good tutorial for ONLY the glass screen? I have watched many videos but i can't tell if it is only the glass. or if it says that it is only the glass, it isn't user/watcher friendly.
hey i pod wont turn on every time i charge it it heats up fron the inside wont turn on tried holding the 2 buttons nothing ,,,,is there any way i could fix it?
Yea I can press it on the home button flex. It's that rubber that came off during the disassembly and I guess I can't figure out how to put it the right way.
My ipod screen just went black, there is no cracks or signs of damage. I tried holding the home button and power button down at the same time and plugged it in to the computer and repeated. Is there something wrong with the motherboard or battery etc?? Before it stopped working I dropped it but there didn't appear to be any signs of damage. Please help!
It might be the lcd ? Not to sure but i dropped mine with an otterbox one to many times, and it didn't crack but did the same thing. It's probably the lcd but don't take my word for it lol
+Bethany Carley Unless you immediately switched the power off and completely dried the water off of the ipod, it might've died off. When you plug it into the charger and if it makes any sound, it is possible that only the screen is broken and it will work when you change the screen. I had several ipod touch & iphone that had water damage but I managed to switch the power off and dry the water off asap. And I got them fixed and they still work fine.
Darn, I freaked out and tried to turn it on which was dumb, but it's gone, haha its pretty sad actually because I waited like everyday to see if it worked.
Just had my screen replaced "professionally" and now the camera doesn't work.. front or back. The store are saying it was damage that was caused when the screen was cracked... even though it was working perfectly when I gave it to them?!?! Could the camera be damaged changing the screen in this way??
I dropped my iPod and the screen didn't respond to touch and there were blueish tinted lines across about half of the screen, if I replace the screen will I still have this problem?
Replaced exactly how he done it however turned my ipod on and I've got 5 white/grey lines appearing on the left hand side of the screen....got no images. Anyone know what's happened please? Thanks.
+MARVIN90ist We see what you are referring to, however we did completely install the screen to the frame. You do want to be careful though when sitting the unit into the frame to not cause any damages.
+Jose Rubio Possible that you just need the dock port replaced as the device may not be charging. Here are the replacement parts we offer www.fixez.com/store/ipods/ipod-touch/ipod-touch-5th-gen
Hey there I am having ipod touch 5th gen with me I dont know wt the prob is but when I turn it on the apple logo appears an then it turns off if I keep pressing the power button the sign and the screen starts discolouring I mean there are different colour lines In this case can anyone tell me a cause for this kindly suggest a solution too
I recently dropped my I pod 5th gen and the screen cracked completely and is now just showing up black with different coloured lines. It still makes noise when I plug it in so I was wondering if I got both screens repaired would I loose all my data? A lot of the stuff on there is very meaningful to me and I would appreciate if someone could help me out by letting me know, thanks.
+DBur72 At the moment the LCD and Touch screen assembly is listed at $69.99 and the tools are roughly $9.99. Please see this link here www.fixez.com/store/ipods/ipod-touch/ipod-touch-5th-gen
***** hey i followed this guide and everything turned out well, but the screen doesnt want to fit inside the body, what is the problem? i cracked it again trying to force it in :(
so, I Usually release the docking port area and lift the whole back flex up and over. It's much easier to connect those LCD, Digitizer etc connectors when you can see the whole board from behind. All the ways I have seen demonstrated here are fiddly and don't really show you how tricky connecting them are. also, Before re-installing the shield, test the iPod to make sure you have your connections working. test the cameras, the on'off switch and naturally screen and touch. Last thing you want is to have to undo all those screws again for a bad connection. Out of all the iPods iPhones and iPads, this is the most fiddly repair to do so don't try if you aren't experienced, send it off to a professional
I dropped my iPod 5 directly onto the ground @ walmart (no joke lol) and now the screen won't slide, it was doing some weird glitchy thing but it goes away. The charging still works, and Siri too. Everything works but the screen. If I were to get it repaired and fixed, would I still have my memory an photos after the fix???!! SOMEONE ANSWER IF THEY KNOW!!! :( how do I know it's damaged on inside?
it's a good tutorial, though your big thumbs get in the way and you don't show how you pry all the ribbons off. Also, some angles show the opposite side from where you remove some of the ribbons. Thanks for the help you gave , though.
+Alex Turley If any flex cable is torn, you would require replacing it. If it's the large orange flex, this is for your dock port assembly. Here you can locate the parts we offer www.fixez.com/store/ipods/ipod-touch/ipod-touch-5th-gen
this video fails to show the toughest part of this whole process- separating the screen from the device itself. Shoving a metal pry tool down there like is shown will guarantee a very scratched ipod housing. Doing it without heating the adhesive first is virtually impossible.
+huh??? what? Careful with putting to much pressure as it can damage your new screen. It's possible your frame has damage internally causing it not to sit properly. Ensure this is not the case.
@@Fixez how about if that is the case? What can I do? It works perfectly new screen but there is no way fit it in. Apparently 3 corners out of for are slightly chipped and bent
My 64 gb iPod says its disabled for 24 million minutes now that I picked it up and replaced the screen after what has been about 2 months of not using it. I have probably around 50 gb of data and pictures that are not backed up. What in the world do I do?
+Jpk516 I just restored it about 5 mins ago because I had tried everything even your suggesting thanks but it didn't work I literally cried as I was restoring it because I have researched every where over the past three months and I have come to the sad conclusion that it could not be fixed :(
Hi. please my ipod touch 5g speaker was burned does not have a voice Because volume boost x3 tweak from cydia was burned the sound please any one can help me ;(

+sarahltop Thank you for watching, we appreciate the support!
Just a tip that wasn't mentioned in the video - it's a LOT easier if you use a heat-gun to soften the adhesive beforehand.
@@Pinkielover you don't blast it on the screen, you do the sides. If you are ruining the screen then you don't know what you're doing

does anyone know of a good tutorial for ONLY the glass screen? I have watched many videos but i can't tell if it is only the glass. or if it says that it is only the glass, it isn't user/watcher friendly.
+Mackensie Bass You are better off changing the LCD and touch screen. Changing just the glass is a nightmare.
My Ipod was connected to itunes.How to fix?and unpluged socket at top of the screen.
+Miguel Videos What issues is the device providing you?
hi i just replaced the screen and it still shows as if it cracked it has been replaced and the whole lcd screen is new what should i do
S
hey i pod wont turn on every time i charge it it heats up fron the inside wont turn on tried holding the 2 buttons nothing ,,,,is there any way i could fix it?
what about if i replace it with an 4th gen will it work?cause i got extras
home button wont press for some reason . the rubber and home button came apart i put it back just like its supposed to be but it doesn't click
+haseeb jamal Does the home button work at all aside from you not feeling the click?
Yea I can press it on the home button flex. It's that rubber that came off during the disassembly and I guess I can't figure out how to put it the right way.
There is small metal spacer attached to the back of the button. See if this is still there. This would resolve your issue.
Do u think that u can do mines
Do u have a website
My ipod screen just went black, there is no cracks or signs of damage. I tried holding the home button and power button down at the same time and plugged it in to the computer and repeated. Is there something wrong with the motherboard or battery etc?? Before it stopped working I dropped it but there didn't appear to be any signs of damage. Please help!
It might be the lcd ? Not to sure but i dropped mine with an otterbox one to many times, and it didn't crack but did the same thing. It's probably the lcd but don't take my word for it lol
+Gavin Carnes ok thanks, I found out the I had a warranty so I just got a new one

I have a water damaged iPod 5 and it's been sitting for two months, I tried a lot of things. Is it still able to be saved, Anything else I can do?
+Bethany Carley Unless you immediately switched the power off and completely dried the water off of the ipod, it might've died off. When you plug it into the charger and if it makes any sound, it is possible that only the screen is broken and it will work when you change the screen. I had several ipod touch & iphone that had water damage but I managed to switch the power off and dry the water off asap. And I got them fixed and they still work fine.
Darn, I freaked out and tried to turn it on which was dumb, but it's gone, haha its pretty sad actually because I waited like everyday to see if it worked.
Just had my screen replaced "professionally" and now the camera doesn't work.. front or back. The store are saying it was damage that was caused when the screen was cracked... even though it was working perfectly when I gave it to them?!?! Could the camera be damaged changing the screen in this way??
yes it can be damaged easily
My iPod 5 power button is stuck what should I do?
I dropped my iPod and the screen didn't respond to touch and there were blueish tinted lines across about half of the screen, if I replace the screen will I still have this problem?
+CJ Sulfaro Replacing your LCD and Touch screen should resolve your issue. It seems both your LCD and Digitizer were damaged.
Does the data lost
Replaced exactly how he done it however turned my ipod on and I've got 5 white/grey lines appearing on the left hand side of the screen....got no images. Anyone know what's happened please? Thanks.
it could be just the screen
Tim billet that doesn't help him at all.
i mean like it's maybe a bad screen, manufacturing fault or something
question how much does it cost just for a professional to repair because I'm not good with screws
Around $100-120 around that
Just the sides of my iPod screen is falling off. What should I do?
It is the right and left side. So if u push on it it makes a little screech and goes up and down. It is still working tho. I rarely drop it
Sorry I don't really know how to explain it
I leave my otter box on should I bother to fix it?
hey did anyone notice at the end of the video the screen was not put all the way down in its place
+MARVIN90ist We see what you are referring to, however we did completely install the screen to the frame. You do want to be careful though when sitting the unit into the frame to not cause any damages.
first my ipod will not charge whit out moving around the charger then I left it in my desk and now that I want to charge it it wont turn on need help
+Jose Rubio Possible that you just need the dock port replaced as the device may not be charging. Here are the replacement parts we offer www.fixez.com/store/ipods/ipod-touch/ipod-touch-5th-gen
How do you remove a loop button

I recently dropped my I pod 5th gen and the screen cracked completely and is now just showing up black with different coloured lines. It still makes noise when I plug it in so I was wondering if I got both screens repaired would I loose all my data? A lot of the stuff on there is very meaningful to me and I would appreciate if someone could help me out by letting me know, thanks.
Nope fixing the screen will not affect your data
How much will this cost tools and all
+DBur72 At the moment the LCD and Touch screen assembly is listed at $69.99 and the tools are roughly $9.99. Please see this link here www.fixez.com/store/ipods/ipod-touch/ipod-touch-5th-gen
***** hey i followed this guide and everything turned out well, but the screen doesnt want to fit inside the body, what is the problem? i cracked it again trying to force it in :(
***** I think it may be bent, how would I go about fixing it? Reshaping the frame to fit the new screen?
How much is the part image a friend and her iPod screen is really bad cracked so I have to tell her about theis
I mean how much is that part?

Hey will this break your iPod??
so, I Usually release the docking port area and lift the whole back flex up and over. It's much easier to connect those LCD, Digitizer etc connectors when you can see the whole board from behind. All the ways I have seen demonstrated here are fiddly and don't really show you how tricky connecting them are.
also, Before re-installing the shield, test the iPod to make sure you have your connections working. test the cameras, the on'off switch and naturally screen and touch. Last thing you want is to have to undo all those screws again for a bad connection.
Out of all the iPods iPhones and iPads, this is the most fiddly repair to do so don't try if you aren't experienced, send it off to a professional
I left my ipod 5th generation in a washer what can I do to fix it the battery gets hot when I try to charge it can any one please help😪😥?!!?
Spectrumz- have you found out?
Song?
Thanks I knew it sounds familiar
If we send it to you could you fix it?
I dropped my iPod 5 directly onto the ground @ walmart (no joke lol) and now the screen won't slide, it was doing some weird glitchy thing but it goes away. The charging still works, and Siri too. Everything works but the screen. If I were to get it repaired and fixed, would I still have my memory an photos after the fix???!! SOMEONE ANSWER IF THEY KNOW!!! :( how do I know it's damaged on inside?
yes
it's a good tutorial, though your big thumbs get in the way and you don't show how you pry all the ribbons off. Also, some angles show the opposite side from where you remove some of the ribbons. Thanks for the help you gave , though.
+james delb We appreciate your support. We'll keep your feedback in mind moving forward. Thanks
how do you replace the screen without buying a new digitizer
I removed the tweak from 5 months and the speaker is still not working it burned :(
what if you had broken orange swiggly cable
+Alex Turley If any flex cable is torn, you would require replacing it. If it's the large orange flex, this is for your dock port assembly. Here you can locate the parts we offer www.fixez.com/store/ipods/ipod-touch/ipod-touch-5th-gen
After I did this my wifi reception is terrible and doesn't work unless I'm next to the router... Can anyone help?
The WiFi antenna cable might have came disconnected
Same
I was eating and I accidentally got ranch in my speaker how do u get ranch out of your speaker
Difficult to confirm this. Sorry to hear about this issue.
this video fails to show the toughest part of this whole process- separating the screen from the device itself. Shoving a metal pry tool down there like is shown will guarantee a very scratched ipod housing. Doing it without heating the adhesive first is virtually impossible.
I'm having trouble getting my replacement screen to fit snuggly in the frame... it's not even bent
+huh??? what? Careful with putting to much pressure as it can damage your new screen. It's possible your frame has damage internally causing it not to sit properly. Ensure this is not the case.
@@Fixez how about if that is the case? What can I do? It works perfectly new screen but there is no way fit it in. Apparently 3 corners out of for are slightly chipped and bent
My 64 gb iPod says its disabled for 24 million minutes now that I picked it up and replaced the screen after what has been about 2 months of not using it. I have probably around 50 gb of data and pictures that are not backed up. What in the world do I do?
plug it into your pc or mac and open itunes. it will Immediately unlock.
+Jpk516 I just restored it about 5 mins ago because I had tried everything even your suggesting thanks but it didn't work I literally cried as I was restoring it because I have researched every where over the past three months and I have come to the sad conclusion that it could not be fixed :(
+Fixez.com when replacing the screen are all your apps, pictures, etc still on the ipod?
Yes its in the memory.
Thank you.
