[DM-MUG] Ipod touch repair

[Christopher Kavanaugh]

Thanks, I had looked for the backlight earlier and couldn't find  
anything because I didn't realize that it was part of the lcd screen.   
I wonder if it is cheaper to get new guts (my daughter would know I  
had not fixed it but replaced it, (I dont know if it is just me but in  
my house my fixing ability is part of what makes me "Dad") sobbing  
daughter "Its OK, Dad can fix it")) Or just put this case on a new  
ipod. Thanks for the help.  Regards Chris
