Weak attempt at humour aside, here's my situation.
3 months have passed since I cracked my 4G iPod's screen. Lotsa blue ink covering the left half of the screen.
... but I'm over the loss.
I'm OK with just using my iPod as an external hard drive (what turned out to be an expensive one!), but it seems like the screen's blue ink is slowly (it's taken 3 months to notice) spreading across the screen -- basically it's all over the left edges now.
Does anyone have a definitive idea of whether this will eventually ruin the rest of the ipod's parts? I highly doubt it's leaking onto the mainboard or anything. Yes, the blue ink is all over the left border of the screen, but it's been like that for 3 months and I've still been able to use it no problem. Has nnyone dissected a broken one to see if ink bled everywhere?
If I have to replace the screen just to keep the damn thing working, does anyone know if I can just buy a cheap 3G screen off eBay and stick it in myself (the warranty is void anyway)? If not, functioning as an external drive will have to suffice. Basically, I'm not willing to shell out much cash for repair so if anyone will put up instructions, I'll do it myself...at this point, wouldn't care about ruining the whole thing while trying.
