iPod Touch – Cracked Digitizer
July 6th, 2009
We see a lot of cracked iPod Touch “screens.”
The screen on the iPhone and iPod Touch is made up of the LCD screen (pictured) and the glass covering known as the digitizer.
The digitizer covers the LCD screen and handles the input of the touch screen.
Often when the screen suffers an impact, the digitizer will crack but the LCD will stay in tact.
This second generation iPod Touch suffered a cracked digitizer and is pictured during the repair process before the screen is cleaned and a new digitizer is installed.
Without a digitizer, the iPod is unable to be controlled so this part is crucial to the operation of the Touch.
Digitizer replacements can bring a cracked iPod Touch back to life and full functionality.
