you should be able to set that in the brightness from the settings tab.
if you get no display, then its either in hold mode, or its set to very dim, OR the lcd still needs to be replaced.

You will need new LCD screen to solve that problem. =]

How do I go about repairing a broken backlight?
The rest of the LCD screen works fine, minus the light

Most iPods are easy to open, however the Nano 3G isn’t one of them.
It is well worth the $25 to have our technicians repair the iPod for you.

I don’t recommend trying this.The screws/connector ribbons are easy to deal with, but getting the back off properly, especially with that spasticated piece of plastic tool thing, is next to impossible. You end up using a stronger tool, which frigs the shape of the iPod meaning it’ll never snap back together properly and be full of crap in about two days.
I’m a big believer in taking things apart and fixing them yourself, but on this occasion I would bite the bullet and pay an expert to do it.

Actually, I don’t recommend replacing the back plate. One you take the back plate off, it won’t go back on as tight as it was. This is a good thing because if you ever have to replace the LCD again, it will be much easier to open the iPod. The back plate won’t go back on tight on my iPod, so all I did was go to Target, buy a rubber sleeve protector for the iPod, and slipped the iPod into that. The iPod fits pretty snug into it, so you don’t notice the loose back plate.

Ha! Easier said than done. I love the way all of the iPod LCD replacement videos make it look SOOOO easy to pry the iPod open. I can tell you, you will NEVER get the iPod Nano 3G open with those little plastic pry tools. It takes a friggin chisel to open that thing. And don’t expect it to ho back togther just right either. It’s a pain to open and close. The actual LCD replacement is not so hard. Just the rest is hard.

It is possible that you may just need a new LCD, however in some cases, the backlight is shorted out from the mainboard’s LCD connector. The only way to tell is to try a new LCD.

My ipod nano 3g was left out in the rain the other day and you can see the menu etc but the backlight has stopped working.

Would the lcd screen replacement fix the backlight so it turns off and on.

btw i have already tried going to settings and turning on the backlight.

And it just clicks back on the new one? no trouble or nothing?

Those can be tricky. It depends on how much the clips bend when you take the back off. It is usually better to just replace the back plate. We sell them for $14.99.

I am not able to put back metal plate all the way, is there sum sort of trick, do i need to bend clips back a certain way? or should i just get a new one?

What is “add on to ipod repair?”

It takes 1-2 days to repair, and depending on the shipping you choose, you can have it back in 2-3 days.

How long does it take to get back, cuz i need to have it fixed within like 2 1/2 weeks

Sure. We sell them separately and also have a 6 piece iPod tool kit.

digiexpress . us

does your company have the ipod opening tool in stock

Sorry to say it, but that is what you get with EBAY parts. Most of them are defective, and there is no return policy. A defective part can actually cause more damage to your iPod.

To answer your question, when a Nano 3G beeps, that usually means that there is an error on the main board.

Send it to us and we will find out what the problem is.

how do you install a new click wheel? Mine no longer works at all and I have a new one ready to go with my ipod apart, but I can’t figure out how to get the old click wheel off and then the new one on

I purchased an LCD screen and did the repair myself. Did everything exactly as shown in the video. My problem is, when I plug the ipod in with the new lcd it won’t boot properly. The screen flashes on and off, no apple logo or anything. Though, the old screen boots just fine with the ipod, minus the fact that is splotchy and broken.
