Hi! My iPod touch recently fell in some tea, and upon going to use it again the screen is black. However, the only thing i’m confused with is the touch screen still works when i connect it by quicktime player and pull up the iPods screen i can use it with the touch screen like moving around etc just the display is completely out. Would resetting the cables fix this since the touch screen works or a completely new display?
Liquid damage is really tricky. There are no two like scenarios. First of all, I would not use the iPod anymore until the board is properly cleaned with either an ultrasonic cleaner or some high percentage alcohol. Second, youll need to replace the screen. It sounds like the backlight and possibly the lcd itself is dead due to the liquid damage.
