I've been searching for a replacement as well but haven't broken it yet I kinda want to upgrade my SSD but also a bit paranoid about the screen so I went searching for one I found one place that sells a replacement but it isn't cheap you may as well buy a new one for that price... Surafe Pro 3 LCD-Pannel- Digitizer Assmebly-$500.00 can't find anything off eBay yet...

speaker leads mapped I create my own guides on ever note so this should show show where the red and blue wires go when soldering the speaker in place I'm still working on the rest of the guide

Just go to you general electronics store or hardware store they have copper tape, or search online and you can just apply that, should be pretty obvious what the copper tape was for asle... It works in conjunction as an EMI shield and heat sink to REDUCE the heat and transfer to the tape to prevent the battery or anything fro. over heating. And Kalp, that's also probably why your ipod keeps going into restore due to over heat you may have fried something... copper shield tape Copper tape isn't cheap... But will come in handy for projects...

yea I ripped my ribbon cable too I should've de-soldered it from the board before replacing the battery and screen. now i've gotta order a new ribbon cable for the vol/pwr, grrr...

Have you tried a hard reset on the iPod? 1.) you're going to toggle the iPod "Hold" switch on then off. 2. ) next hold down [Menu]+[Select] "the center button" The iPod should reboot and you'll see it booting back up with the Apple logo. iTunes should automatically install the latest drivers for the device, if that doesn't help it may very well be a hardware issue while you were tinkering with it.
