iPod touch iPod Touch 2nd Generation Backlight Problem

[andrewbastien]

Hello fellow MacRumors users, I have a quick question. I just bought an iPod touch(2nd Generation) that has a cracked glass, and the backlight will only come on occasionally when i unlock it, and then it will turn off(I got it for a really good deal(I traded a shuffle for it)). I was looking at parts on amazon (digitizer, lcd, and the tools required to do this), and I was going to buy these parts so I could fix my iPod. I bought this thing with hopes of fixing it. I can only see the screen if I hold it to the light, or if I am right next to a window. The tutorial of replacing the screen and lcd looks pretty simple, if you are good with technology(which I am). If I replace the digitizer and lcd, will it fix the backlight problem? If you think that its another problem, please let me know what else I should replace. Please help!
