Best way to plug in new screen?
When replacing an iPod Touch 4G screen, what's the best way to plug in the digitizer connection back into the logic board? I'm working with a spudger and it seems as if the only way to plug it back in is perseverance. Long, agonizing perseverance. Thanks!
Update (solution found)
I've repaired a bunch of 4th generation iPod Touch's and I just found an easier way to plug in the digitizer. The key is to take the copper grounding tape OFF the new digitizer and wrap it around the connection LATER. Amateur mistake most likely, but this method saved me lots of time and probably a few gray hairs as well.
Questa è una buona domanda?

Your "Update (solution found)" doesn't make sense to me.
Take the copper grounding tape OFF the new digitizer???
There is no copper tape on the new digitizer.
You must take the tape off the old digitizer and then wrap it around the connector once you snap in the new digitizer.
The original question is "what's the best way to plug in the digitizer connection back into the logic board?"

Hey Joe, sorry for the confusion. What I had previously been doing was taking the tape off the old digitizer, then putting it on the new digitizer BEFORE I plugged it into the iPod. That must have added some extra bulk, because it just would not plug into the logic board.
Now I'm plugging in the digitizer to the logic board, THEN I'm putting the grounding tape on it once it's already plugged in. Sorry for the confusion, hopefully this clears that up!

Thank's for clearing it up. The bottom line is this is a hard job to do but like anything else, it gets easier after you do a few....Joe in PA
