This is a likely a bad screen. The first thing to try is a new screen. The guide can be found here: [guide|3602]

This issue is likely caused by a bad screen. I'd try replacing the LCD first. The guide to replace the LCD can be found here: [guide|3602]

If this doesn't work, it's going to be caused a bad board. I would suggest trying to find a known good used one, rather then try to repair the board. It's going to be a lot more cost effective to do it this way as well. If you do opt for a board repair, you are going to need to find a schematic. This is likely going to be difficult, since Apple is more then happy to use the DMCA to keep this information off of the Internet. If you find one, it's likely coming from a country with no DMCA equivalent.

If the issue persists, then it's likely a board fault. See if you can clean the connectors of moisture or dirt and try that first. If you continue to have problems, then the actual board is bad. The problem with this is it's usually not worth locating a board for these iPods, since a used board tends to cost as much (if not more) then a new iPod. If you still want to replace it, find one online with a broken screen and no previous water damage and move your new LCD to that iPod. Once you do that, then you can recycle the old one or use it for the remaining parts that still work.

It is also very likely you will have to pay for the schematic, even if it comes from a shady site. I would not recommend this, especially if the site selling it is not one you would want to trust ever again.

Another option is to repair the board by looking for obvious damage, but in order to do this you will need to find schematics. Apple doesn't take these getting out very lightly and is known to use the DMCA to make them as hard to find as possible. If you happen to find some, make multiple backups since they will likely be gone in a short amount of time.

This is rarely an issue in other countries since they either do not have DMCA equivalent laws or they are much less easy to abuse. It's often easier to pay, since those sites usually have a longer lifespan.

This is a motherboard or screen issue issue. Not software.

Replace the screen first. If that doesn't do it, you need to repair the board.

If your board is bad, then you'll need a schematic to repair it. Apple schematics are of intermediate difficulty to find. You can find them but you need to find a lesser known site, since Apple covers it up and does takedowns on sellers. They DMCA free sites, and sometimes get the hosting provider to shut the sites down too.

If you find one, get it. Don't wait.

Use a prepaid debit card to buy them.

I don't know what blew on the board. You would need a schematic of the board to test it. Apple schematics are intermediate difficulty to find. You can find them but you need to find a lesser known site, since Apple covers it up and does takedowns on sellers.

I would first try restoring the iPod, this may do something
-
-
I would try the screen if that does not work
-
-
Try and replace the battery next
-
-
another thing to try is to clean the logicboard, but this will require replacement of the battery and it does require soldering in case the battery is no good
-
-
To do this, you will need to remove the logicboard from the iPod and desolder the battery, then you will use a toothbrush to clean the crevices on the logicboard
