Update:

My stubborn nature has paid off (somewhat). After opening up my iPod for a third time and the screen not working regardless of how many times I reseated the ribbon, it was time to get creative. I Frankensteined the LCD from my old and corrupt ipod and stuck that thing in my new one. Sadly, now the backlight doesn't work but the screen does. I figure...lesser of 2 of evils here. At least now I know what I'm playing. Hell, there's even a chance my battery drains and I reset it the thing might come on. I won't hold my breath, though...I'm content.

Suck it, apple.

Your are officially on apples black list. And the fact you have posted this publically means the wrath of the company will be upon you. I like you duga but watch out, surely apple will want revenge.

Bring it.

I appreciate your concern, but I don't mind going down as a martyr to all those disaffected peoples who have not the technical prowess to accomplish this repair.

I'm pretty sure Apple engineers welcome any tech geek challenges. If he succeeds duga may even get a job offer.
