Please choose the appropriate forum for this topic. Thank you. After several months of wanting to do so, I finally inverted my iPod's screen last month. Below are pictures, albeit from my cameraphone. Any thoughts?
Parts: Torx Screwdriver set Xacto knife Linear Polarizing Filter Film Much Patience The hardest part was separating the existing polarizing filter from the LCD, as it is hard and the LCD brittle, but when all is said and done it's a pretty sweet looking mod. |

Looks fantastic to me. How come the screen's so blue?

here's another. They're taken from my phone, as my digi is being 'borrowed' indefinitely.

I remember I once did something like that on a 4g for a second or so by connecting a nine volt to the green and white wires on the ipod connector cable. But this is one of the cooler mods Ive seen so far.

? I'm not sure how you pulled off the 9V invert, but this one requires no additional power.

That looks pretty darned good. If my iPod wasn't still under warranty I would probably do a mod like this (or shipping it off to a company and get a different colored LCD backlight).
The last picture looks deceiving though. I thought there was a large scratch on your iPod. I then realized that it was the reflection of your phone. Good job on the mod.
