great post shaun does explain the white screen , ive had it with a few iphone 3g due to not been connected correctly , Emmvee have you looked at the vid to see if you have that metal plate and the spring in the corner is touching correctly

fixed the ipod touch 3rd gen today...screen cost about a fiver...with all the tools which happened to be cheap plastic crap that broke....replaced screen and is now working fine...only trouble is there is a slight gap all the way around the edges of the ipod silver casing...when i used that plastic prying tool it took out all the black rubber seal along the sides...shame...

Did you get just the LCD because on the 4th gen they are bonded to the digitiser

Easy on then. The 3G / 3GS iPhone are like that. Dead simple.
