Hey all, I have a friend who dropped her new 3rd gen ipod touch and she bought a new one and is selling me the dropped one for $25... I figure it is a deal somehow. Anyway, the problem with it is my question. The glass itself is not cracked, and the screen still responds perfectly. The screen works in the upper left corner, but everything else is a solid color (usually pink), but the color changes periodically.

My first assumption is that the LCD itself is cracked, but I just want to make sure that really is the problem before I start buying replacement parts. Thoughts?

Sorry for the crappy picture, I could only get a cell phone picture at this point in time.

You could just sell it on ebay for alot more than that.

Well you could buy a kit (http://cgi.ebay.com/REPAIR-KIT-OPENING-TOOLS-IPHONE-3G-3GS-IPOD-PSP-/120575773303?cmd=ViewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1c12e04a77), and pry it open and see what is broken and go from there.

But, based on the picture you would say LCD is cracked, right?

Most likely, that or the digitizer.
