The only thing missing was the INSTRUCTIONS!!
  
This review is from: Apple Ipod Touch 2nd Glass Digitizer + Frame Chassis Bezel + Home Button Pre-assembled + Printed Guide + Tool + Support Tape on Flex (Wireless Phone Accessory)
NO INSTRUCTIONS WERE PROVIDED AT ALL!!!

I only bought this item because I was promised a "guide" in the title. We had already tried another product that promised to fix our iPod Touch and were unable to make it work because it also came without any documentation whatsoever and recommended that we "search on Youtube". While there are some videos on YouTube that give some clues, they are not complete.

So, if you buy this, know that they're not going to send you any instructions at all.

Here's what we learned:

When we pried off the old, cracked screen, it broke even more. This was disconcerting, but as we found out, it was not the end. Since there was no going back at this point, we just kept carefully taking it off. You have to go on the outside of the rubber bit, not the inside between the rubber and the glass. Pay attention to the youtube videos where it shows you where the clips are to detach the glass from the rest of the iPod, and keep going around little by little.

This kit comes with a suction cup that is pretty handy for holding on to the screen while separating it from the rest of the Touch.

We didn't end up using any of the broken screen/digitizer (I still don't quite know what the difference is) or the plastic bits that were still stuck to it. Some of the videos on Youtube seem to show those pieces getting used. We didn't. We also didn't use this weird piece of strangely shaped double stick tape that came with the kit.

The hardest part is attaching the cable on the fragile tape on the new screen/digitizer to the place where it plugs in on the iPod. It's also the most essential. I used one of the plastic separator things to gently plug it in since my fingers were way too big to fit in there.

Once the cable from the screen/digitizer is attached to the iPod, you can press the screen back in. Don't do it all the way at the beginning. If you can click the part in where the button is, you can actually test it to see if it's working (and well plugged in). And if it isn't, it'll be easier to detach it again to fix it.

The first time, we pressed the new screen/digitizer to the iPod without plugging the cable in, thinking that the plug on the cable would somehow magically attach to the tiny plug underneath. It didn't (duh!), and we had to detach the screen again (miraculously it didn't break, but some of the glue came out and now looks ugly), plug in the cable properly, and press the screen back on.

I hope that's helpful. We did manage to get our iPod Touch working again, so in the end, it was OK. But boy, I would have been so happy not to have to figure it out all on my own. One decent youtube video, or one sheet of diagrams would have saved me much time and angst.

Apple Ipod Touch screen

The kit came with everything to install-including directions. My husband had it installed in about 5 minutes. Much better than paying the Apple store over $100 for a replacement screen.

Replacment glass for 2nd gen ipod touch- BUY NOW!
This review is from: Apple Ipod Touch 2nd Glass Digitizer + Frame Chassis Bezel + Home Button Pre-assembled + Printed Guide + Tool + Support Tape on Flex (Wireless Phone Accessory)
So far so good it took 5-10 min to remove my broken one and install the new one! I'm using it to write this review and i couldn't be happier with it! I seen a few reviews and a stupid you tube video (that you will see while trying to install)of people complaing that the home button didn't work- what i found is that they tell you to plug the new screen into the ipod and test it before you snap it all together, well when you have the screen apart like that the home button will not work there is a sensor on the screen frame that has to contact a sensor on the ipod base in order to work. So before you flip out and think you got a bad one take a deep breathe and finish the installation and you should be freaking out in a good way being so happy that you just saved yourself a lot of money and time! Great Buy!
