iPod Touch 2G White Screen Problem

[MindTriiiickz]

Hi,

I have an iPod Touch 2G, running 3.1.2 and I think there's a problem with the screen. I got it out of my pocket today, and the screen was completely white. It was jailbroken, but when I got home I tried to restore it, so it's not jailbroken anymore.

Suffice to say, I don't think it's the "white screen of death" I think there may be a problem with the screen. I can press the power button at the top of the iPod and the screen turns completely white, but when I press it again, it turns black. Just like when you press the power button to lock/unlock the iPod.

I read somewhere about a ribbon being removed? I can't recall it exactly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

And yes, my iPod is out of warrenty.

try dfu mode. i had a seemingly broken ipod with verbose boot on, and i still managed to get through to it through dfu. to do this just power off (reboot) while it's plugged in, then run the dfu instructions.
