About this part

Overview

Screen 4GB

Replacement display assembly for iPod Mini 1G. Use it for cracked, blank, lined, or backlight-related display problems after separating screen damage from ribbon seating and board-side faults. It fits the 1st Gen mini only: the two mini generations use different screens. A dark spot or pressure mark on the picture is usually not the screen: on the mini the battery sits behind the display, so a swollen battery marks it. Replace the battery first; the spots usually fade once it is replaced.
