Set it away so that you don’t lose it.
- Pull out the battery from the motherboard with the help of the pry tool or screwdriver, and also, remove the small black tape that exposes three more screws.
- Next, remove the small Phillip screw that holds the iPod touch’s screen into place. After you’re done unscrewing the Phillip screw, remove the foil that is present on top of the iPod touch’s screen.
- Then, when you’re done removing the file, you need to remove the seven screws that are there on the metal frame with the help of your Phillip screwdriver. Followed by that, take out the ribbon connector present above the dock port of the touchscreen of the iPod by using the flat head screwdriver. All these tools are present in your screen replacement kit so that you find all the necessary implements required for the job.
- Lastly, use the flat screwdriver to lift the metal frame, and put it aside with your hands. Replace the old iPod touch screen with the new one.
